“Leo trusts us”: Aguirre hails youngsters in Madelón’s Unión | OneFootball

Unión is strengthening its youth project with Misael Aguirre, who celebrated his first goal in the top flight. The forward had his first major experiences in the First Division after joining the club in April 2024 at the age of 16. After the win, the youngster looked back on his goal in amazement: “I never imagined that my first goal in the First Division would be with my left foot, but I’ll gladly take it.” Deeply grateful for his family’s efforts, he announced that the keepsake would go to his father: “The jersey from my first professional goal is going to my old man, who was always there, believed in me, and was there when I started playing football.”

The collective growth of Tatengue is finding immediate answers in players coming up from the Reserve team, a hallmark that Aguirre directly attributes to the coach’s management: “Honestly, most of us in the squad are kids who came up from the Reserve team. Leo trusts us and always gives us opportunities. We’re ready to play and we try to make the most of it.”

With the constant support of those around him, the youngster said: “I’m very grateful to the club for the opportunities, and I hope to leave my mark on the club,” reinforcing that “I dedicate this moment to my family.” Beyond the personal achievement of that left-footed strike, already part of his story, Aguirre made it clear that the team’s collective goals are on track: “The squad set several goals for itself. One was to earn enough points to qualify for an international cup.” Two years after his arrival, the striker will look to keep up the pace and repay on the pitch the trust placed in him.
