Leonardo Madelón frustrated after Aldosivi loss: "I can't cry" | OneFootball

After the defeat against Aldosivi, Leonardo Madelón held a press conference in which he appeared annoyed by the tone of some of the journalists' questions. The coach acknowledged shortcomings in the midfield and in defending set pieces, although he also called for calm and emphasized that the team is not in a bad position in the standings. Additionally, he hinted that he might make changes.

The coach began by stating, “I talk constantly with the players and directors, we have to stay balanced and move forward. We started with Estudiantes and if we had lost there, we would have fallen into the relegation zone. We are getting out of that area, maybe we hit some very high peaks that don’t really belong to us. People come to see that, and today it wasn’t there, we weren’t good in the midfield.”

He then acknowledged: it’s acceptable for a player to have a poor performance, but it’s too soon to talk about changes. Tomorrow we’ll train with those who didn’t play and there will surely be some changes, although it will be to improve and not for any other reason.”

Regarding the match, he analyzed: “Aldosivi deserves credit for not letting us play, Farré understood the problems we might have. We didn’t have many clear chances, they did and they scored. I have to stay calm, at some point this had to happen.”

On the shortcomings, Madelón pointed out: “We suffered on set pieces, it’s a team that struggles with that, although we’ve also scored goals that way. We’re all pretty even, Unión is not in a bad spot, I’m hurt, but I can’t start crying. We have to think everything through, maybe we’ll make changes now, we’ve done a lot and we’re not in a bad place.”

Later, he added: “It’s a nice kind of embarrassment, I like that they’re upset, it would be worse if they didn’t care. It means they’ve learned to add up, we did a lot with little.”

Finally, he left a message about his role: “I came to get the club out of a complicated situation, I have to manage everyone’s emotions.”
