Franco Fragapane: Aim is to pick up points and move clear of danger | OneFootball

After the morning training session that the Unión squad conducted at the Casasol facility, two players spoke to the press, and one of them was Franco Fragapane.

The left winger of the red-and-white team commented on the good form the team has been showing, which was confirmed with the victory against Racing.

Franco Fragapane's Words

«The truth is that the team is doing very well, and as you could see, in the previous matches we were superior to our opponents. That's why we are doing great and with confidence, and that's good», he began by saying.

Regarding his performance, he said: «I needed to adapt to Argentine football, I came from a very different league like the MLS, and I was missing a good preseason. Fortunately, this semester we had it, and today it's reflected on the field».

«The mindset of the players has changed, the confidence the coaching staff gives you is something very nice. We were doing very poorly away, and now we are doing well by following the coach's instructions», he assured.

About his lack of personal goals, he commented: «It might be that I'm missing goals, I get into positions to score but I'm not taking advantage of the opportunities. But as long as the team wins and the forwards who live for that can score, it's all good».

«The objective is to add points to get out from the bottom, everything is very tight and competitive, and Unión is here to keep adding points, and as long as we keep adding, we'll fight at the top», he stated.

When asked if the break was good or bad, he replied: «When you get into the rhythm of the matches, you want to play right away. And especially when you feel good, it's nice to play frequently, but this break also does us good to rest».

In another part of the conversation, Fragapane stated: «We look at both tables, but we are here to add. We are coming up from the bottom, the good thing is that we are adding points both at home and away».

«Leo (Madelón) asks us to get there, to step into the area, but I don't go crazy about scoring. The goal will come, but the most important thing is the team's performance», he said.

«Opponents start to know you, we know what we can give, but at the same time, we can't take our foot off the gas, because otherwise, we're just another team», he concluded.

And in the end, he assured: «The change we had was mental, but also physical, I had three months of vacation and didn't have a good preseason as I would have liked, and now I do, besides the coach giving you a lot of confidence».
