Following the 2-2 draw of Unión against Independiente Rivadavia at the April 15th stadium, coach Leonardo Madelón provided an extensive analysis of the match, highlighting both the strengths of his team and the aspects to improve for what's to come.
The red-and-white coach emphasized the intensity of the game and the parity that occurred throughout the 90 minutes: “It was a very intense game, back and forth, where both teams attacked a lot. We could have won it, but also lost it. At another time these matches slipped away in the last play, that's why today I prefer to see the glass half full,” he assured.
Madelón explained that during the week they had worked especially on how to breach the line of five presented by the Mendoza Lepra. In that sense, he valued the change of attitude in the second half: “Unión plays well when the ball goes low, not when we kick long balls. In the second half we managed to be more protagonists and we found spaces”.
The tatengue coach also referred to the need to control anxiety when playing at home, where he acknowledged that opponents often close more paths: “We need to learn to manage patience. As visitors, the games open up more for us, but at home they wait for us and know us. Still, I am satisfied, because the team gives everything on the pitch and we continue to add up top”.
Finally, Madelón valued the present of his squad and the support of the fans: “Two months ago we were in a very complex situation and today we are well positioned. The fans supported a lot and that is felt. We must keep our feet on the ground and continue to grow solidly”.
