Matías Mansilla: "We started half asleep" after Boca draw | OneFootball

After the intense 1-1 draw at the 15 de Abril, Matías Mansilla analyzed the performance of the "Tatengue" and was self-critical about the football slump the team experienced. The goalkeeper, crucial in maintaining the draw, acknowledged that Unión struggled to keep up the intensity throughout the 90 minutes.

Self-criticism and the hierarchy factor

"It happened to us again: we came in a bit sleepy at times and it was hard for us to get into the game," Mansilla explained. However, he didn't downplay the merit of the opposing team: "There's a team with a lot of hierarchy in front of us and it's not easy," he noted regarding the Xeneize's strategy in the second half.

The duel with Bareiro: the save of the match

When asked about his most difficult intervention of the night, the "1" didn't hesitate to choose the one-on-one against Adam Bareiro: "I think that was the most complicated. He was coming at full speed with the goal wide open; luckily I was able to stop it to keep the score," he recalled about the play that prevented his goal from being breached.

Optimism and a message for Gomes Gerth

Despite the feeling that the three points could have stayed in Santa Fe, Mansilla valued the point obtained: "It's a shame we didn't win, but we're still in the fight. If we get three points in the next match, this point will be very valuable," he added. He also reaffirmed his commitment to the club: "I'm very happy to be here and I try to give my best to keep growing."

Before leaving, the goalkeeper had a great gesture with his fellow goalkeeper, Federico Gomes Gerth, who is recovering from a serious injury: "I want to send him a big greeting and wish him a speedy recovery. It's a complicated situation, but the whole team is supporting him," he concluded.
