Andres Fernandez, DAD representative: "Unión will always come first" | OneFootball

The representative of Diego Armando Díaz visited ADN Gol and spoke about the impact of his arrival at Unión and what could happen with his future for the next semester.

«Yes, the truth is that Diego reached professional football and adapted very quickly, which was, you could say, easy for him. But if we analyze a young man who came from a league without AFA training, to reach a first division, adapt to a new city, his teammates, a club like Unión, and do it so quickly because he signed the contract on January 31 and was already called up for the first time, if I'm not mistaken, on January 11, and well, he managed to score goals.»

«Well, it's a very positive balance, Diego is very happy with the city, with the club, he feels very loved, and the reality is that Unión has the possibility to exercise the option until the 15th. What is known are the journalistic rumors that they are going to do it, that they are going to move forward, but well, concretely and formally, we still don't have anything.»

«The reality is that a great comprehensive work has been done between the club, well, supporting him, the family, we all contributed our little bit, Diego adapted, as I was saying, very quickly, very quickly. I believe that by mid-year, physically, he was doing very well, his body mass indices were perfect, all a work done with the nutritionist and planned. He learned a lot tactically, which was one of the weaknesses he had because obviously, without training, it's not the same to play in a local league as it is to do it professionally. And that was the point that cost him the most, and today we see that in the matches he has played, he has adapted very well to Madelon's idea. And well, he is a young man who, as we see, is a scorer, always has an opportunity. Cold numbers show that he played 307 minutes this year and scored three goals, of which the goal against Belgrano we still don't know how they drew the line, but well, if you analyze it, he has a goal every 100 minutes and two shots on the posts, he is a young man who is always there, he is a scorer.»

«The priority will always be Unión, it's the club that allowed Diego to reach the first division, he is very comfortable, and then this will be decided. If they exercise the purchase option, Madelon will decide if he will count on Diego or not. In the case that they buy him and Leo decides to loan him out to get more playtime, well, all options will be analyzed. There are options, he is a scorer, and number nines always attract attention, and well, there are many inquiries, consultations, both from Argentina and abroad, and well, we will see in these 12, 13 days that remain, what is decided.»
