Malcorra backed Unión's approach: «We like to take the game on» | OneFootball

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

“Nothing, I thought it… it was going in, that it hit the post. I’d already seen that 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 goes forward, creates a lot of scoring chances, and today we were lacking in the finishing.”

“Yes, but well… we, well, Leo and the coaching staff and the players are prepared to play anywhere. You can see it… today we came to play on this pitch, which is difficult; the other day against Platense the game slipped away from us at the very end, today we lo… today we lost it, but we didn’t deserve to lose, we deserved to win. So, uh… we can play both at home and away. But well, we leave angry 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… from on the pitch give back everything to… both the… the club and Leo, who… well, was the one who… told them 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 t… as I just said, the previous match slipped away from us at the end, uh now we deserved to win this game, we had a lot of chances to win it, in the first half I think we could have been 3 or 4–0 up quite easily. But well, that’s how the match went and we leave frustrated because of the result.”

“And the thing is, it’s… it’s very difficult. Uh… What are you supposed to do when they’re about to kick the ball from close range, not cover your face? Uh… it’s impossible.” “Exactly, I mean, that’s why. So, what do you do… what do you do? I’m not putting my face there, I… you cover yourself. It’s a natural reaction… yes, something human, that when they’re about to kick, uh, you cover yourself. So…” “We knew… uh, the referee was saying: ‘No, no, it’s what I see, 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 that’s that. 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 starts from, uh and well, then they… they score quickly and that’s when it… it gets complicated for us.”   See this post on Instagram
