‘I didn’t feel represented’: Madelón’s blunt take after Unión loss | OneFootball

After the defeat against San Lorenzo, Unión’s coach gave a sincere and self-critical press conference in which he did not hide his dissatisfaction with the team’s performance on the field.

Unhappy with the team’s performance and image

“I’m not doing well because I don’t feel identified with today’s match. It doesn’t represent us; we were a strong, solid team and we didn’t play a good game,” the coach said right away, stressing the disconnect between what was planned and what was carried out. Along the same lines, he ruled out any external excuses, pointing out that they were very inaccurate, that what they had planned did not work out, and that the pitch was in good condition, so there are no excuses to look for.

Warning of changes and review of methods

With the coming days in mind, the coach said he will evaluate drastic changes to the squad and the working methodology. “By Monday everything cools down a bit more and we’ll see it more clearly… If I have to change, I will. You always tend to keep backing and take responsibility for everything, but I’m going to change,” he warned. He also offered a reflection on the coaching staff’s current moment: “If you don’t like what you’re getting, pay attention to what you’re putting out. Maybe what we’re putting out, the training system or the tactical system, isn’t good.”

Medical update on the injured players

Regarding the absences the team suffered during the match, he clarified the situation of the affected players. “There were two injuries caused by knocks. Malcorra’s muscle injury may take a little longer, but there are others who are working and training,” he said about the physical issues suffered during the day.

Message to the fans and the path ahead

To close, he sent a direct message to the Tatengue supporters and set out the approach for turning things around in the upcoming matches. “Unión’s fans don’t need explanations from me; they know me well. I’m upset, today I’m hurting, and we have to get past it quickly. And how do you do that? On the pitch, by showing it and picking up points,” he concluded.
