Special dressing-room visitor: Mateo Del Blanco saw Unión’s friendly romp | OneFootball

Taking advantage of the break in European football due to the double FIFA matchday, Mateo Del Blanco returned to the city of Santa Fe to reunite with family and friends. During his stay, the left-footed footballer did not miss the chance to visit his former teammates at Unión, the club where he developed and for which he has great affection.

On Tuesday night, the current player in French football was present at the 15 de Abril Stadium. From there, he watched the friendly match in which El Tatengue thrashed San Martín de Progreso 4-0, also taking the opportunity to pose for a photo alongside midfielder Julián Palacios.

His current situation in France and the internal competition

The Santa Fe native is currently going through a period of adaptation and fighting for a place at Racing Strasbourg. At the start of the European season, Del Blanco has fallen somewhat down the pecking order of Portuguese head coach Hugo Oliveira; although he did get minutes in the first two league matches, he was not included in the squad for his team’s last three outings.

To make matters worse, the internal competition for his position includes another Argentine footballer who is enjoying an exceptional spell. That is Joaquín “Oso” Martínez Gauna, who has been performing at such a high level for Strasbourg that he has already attracted the interest of Lionel Scaloni’s coaching staff for future call-ups to the Argentina National Team.
