Unión continues its preparations for next Saturday’s match against Independiente, in another round of the championship, and the coach has started to shape the lineup that could start the game. In training this week, the coaching staff tested a team with four changes compared to the rojiblanco side’s last outing.
The likely starting eleven taking shape to face El Rojo would be made up of Mansilla; Pintado, Rocha, Ludueña and Ayala; Palacios, Mosqueira, Menossi and Malcorra; Ramírez and Tarragona.
There would be no changes in goal, with Mansilla once again as the starter. The defense would also keep much of its structure, although it would feature one change: Rocha would come in for Fagioli to join Pintado, Ludueña and Ayala in the back line.
In midfield, another of the changes being considered by the coaching staff appears. Mosqueira would take Giaccone’s place, forming the midfield alongside Palacios, Menossi and Malcorra. The experienced midfielder would once again have an important role in creating play and linking up with the attacking players.
The main new developments, however, would be up front. Tarragona would come in for Cuello, while Ramírez would replace Estigarribia. In this way, the attacking duo would feature two different names from the one used in the last match.
So, the team Unión has been testing features changes in defense, midfield and attack, with the intention of adjusting a few pieces before the clash against Independiente. The coaching staff still has training sessions ahead to finalize the starting eleven and confirm whether these changes will remain.
