Maizon Rodríguez, the Uruguayan defender of Unión, analyzed the important 2-1 victory against Instituto in Córdoba, a result that puts Leonardo Madelón's team in the fight for Zone A. However, there was concern about his physical condition after he left the match with ankle discomfort.

The defender, who tried to stay on the field despite the pain, reassured fans about his physical condition: "Yes, yes, it hurts a little, but well, I think, I want to believe that it's a very famous team, so well, I have to work during the week. Quickly, quickly."

The match analysis and adaptation

Regarding the development of the game and the final pressure from the home team, the Uruguayan highlighted the team's focus: "We think about ourselves, we talk among ourselves. Well, they came to attack, I mean, they attacked a lot at the end. But nothing, well, we think about ourselves, we play our game and we look at the opponents."

Rodríguez also spoke about his quick adaptation to Argentine football, comparing it to the style in his country: "Well, Argentine football, compared to Uruguayan, I mean, maybe it has more rhythm, I mean, it plays the same. There is a lot of talent in Argentine football, but I see that there is more rhythm, you know. And well, with the rhythm comes a lot of fouls too, but it's played faster, it's much more paused."
