Unión among the teams who used the fewest players in the Clausura | OneFootball

Unión will face Belgrano this Monday at 5 PM for the last match of zone A with a particular feature that defines its identity in this Clausura: it is one of the teams that used the fewest players. Only 25 players were considered by Leonardo Madelón, placing it on the podium of teams with the least rotation.

Above them are only Talleres and San Lorenzo, who needed 24 players to get through the semester. This figure positions Unión in a select group, something unusual for a tournament with peaks of demand and injuries that often force constant changes.

Madelón had anticipated it at the time. "These are the options we have," he made clear when asked about the lack of choices. His idea held firm for a good part of the tournament, where he even managed to repeat the lineup in several consecutive matches. The formula worked until they hit a rough patch.

The opponents adjusted, figured out the team, and the coach had to make some changes. The options appeared, the performance went through a slump, but eventually, Unión found its way again and started achieving results that kept them in the big fight of the zone.

This fact becomes even more significant when considering the context: the core of the squad is practically the same that finished last in the Apertura. With a renewed idea, a more solid structure, and a clear message from the coaching staff, Unión managed to make a 180-degree turn and become a protagonist.

Now, they will close the Clausura with the mission to maintain that momentum and reach the playoffs with a well-defined identity: a compact team, confident, and with players who found their place through continuity.
