Malcorra backed Unión's approach: «We like to go on the front foot» | OneFootball

“Good, good, honestly good. Obviously we wanted to win, and I think we played a match to win it. It makes us… it really frustrates us, the result. You start thinking about it, it was a strange match where we created a lot of chances, we easily could have won it, and then you end up losing… Honestly, we’re very frustrated.”

“Nothing, I thought it… that it was going in, that it hit the post. I’d already seen the goalkeeper wasn’t getting there, but well, it hit the post and went out. Today… honestly, we deserved to win, but we leave frustrated because… well, you end up losing. But at the same time you also have to stay calm because the team is functioning well, it pushes forward, creates a lot of scoring chances, and today we failed in the finishing.”

“Yes, but well… we, well, Leo, the coaching staff, and the players are prepared to play anywhere. You can tell… today we came to play on this field, which is difficult, the other day against Platense the match slipped away from us at the end, today we lo… today we lost it but we didn’t deserve to lose, we deserved to win. So, uh… we can play the same way whether at home or away. But well, we leave upset because we wanted to win.”

“Yes, yes, honestly, well, it’s a club that… that I love very much, that I support, so… nothing, happy, happy to be ab… to be able to give back. So, nothing, to try to… on the field, give back everything to… both the club and Leo, who… well, who was the one who… said to bring me in, so… nothing, happy, happy, and hopefully everything goes well.”

“No, no, honestly we like it, we like that style. Well, Unión in these last two tournaments has has been… has had some very good tournaments. Uh, I think the team is doing well now, uh the to… as I just said, the last match slipped away from us at the end, uh now we deserved to win this match, we had a lot of chances to win, in the first half I think we could have been 3 or 4–0 up quite comfortably. But well, that’s how the match went and we leave frustrated because of the result.”

“What happens is that it’s… it’s very difficult. Uh… How are you supposed to stop yourself from covering your face when they’re about to kick it from close range? Uh… it’s impossible.” “Exactly, I mean, that’s why. So how do you do it… how do you do it? I’m not putting my face there, I… you cover yourself. It’s a natural reaction… yeah, something human, that when they’re about to kick it, uh, you cover yourself. So…” “We knew… uh, the referee said: ‘No, no, it’s what I saw, I saw the same thing you did.’ He says: ‘He mo… he covers his face.’ But well, then VAR made that… that decision, uh, so anyway. I mean, it’s done now, it’s no… no use anymore, what’s left is to correct the mistakes we made… on the set piece where that play comes from, uh, and well, then they… they score quickly and that’s when it… it gets complicated for us.”   See this post on Instagram
