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

After the defeat against Aldosivi, Leonardo Madelón held a press conference where he appeared annoyed with the tone of some journalists' questions. The coach acknowledged shortcomings in the midfield and defense during set pieces, although he also urged 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 need to stay balanced and move forward. We started with Estudiantes and if we lost there, we would have entered the relegation zone. We are moving out of that area, maybe we reached very high peaks that don’t belong to us. People come to see that and today it wasn’t there, we weren’t good in the midfield.”

Then, he acknowledged: it is allowed for some players to have low performance, but it’s too soon to talk about changes. Tomorrow we train with those who didn’t play, and surely there will 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 it had to happen.”

On the shortcomings, Madelón pointed out: “we suffered on set pieces, it’s a team that struggles with that, although we also scored goals that way. We are all even, Unión is not bad, I am 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 bad.”

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

Finally, he left a message about his role: “I came to get the club out of a complex situation, I have to manage the emotions of all parties.”
