Estigarribia hails Unión's growth: «Keep running for your mate» | OneFootball

Marcelo Estigarribia was one of Unión’s voices after the important win over Instituto. The forward focused on the growth the team has been showing, as it managed to string together three victories and began to find better answers after an inconsistent start.

“The team is growing, it’s adding things. It’s also getting time. Key pieces from last tournament’s starting team had left, and different players came in. Little by little we’re improving with our teammates,” Estigarribia explained.

The value of the wins for Unión

For the striker, positive results are essential for the process to keep moving forward.

“It’s good that the positive results are coming so we can keep improving even more,” he remarked, while also highlighting the collective effort that made it possible to achieve three consecutive wins.

Estigarribia also emphasized the weekly work: “I believe in the work we’ve been doing. No one gives you anything. I give a lot of credit to the team and to the work we do during the week.”

An identity based on effort, according to Estigarribia

The forward believes that one of the keys to Unión’s current form is the commitment of its players.

“We can’t let up, we have to keep running, keep running for our teammate. The truth is, the team makes a tremendous effort and we leave happy,” he said.

Regarding the sending-off of Cristian Tarragona, who will not be able to play against Talleres, Estigarribia said the squad has alternatives to replace him: “He’s an important player and obviously he can give a certain characteristic to our team, but there are other teammates waiting for their chance and they’ll do it in the best way.”

Patience to turn the match around

Estigarribia also analyzed how Unión managed to recover against an Instituto side that came in as the leader and with one of the best defenses in the championship.

“The key was patience, trying to make the most of the moments and find the spaces. It was a complicated match against an opponent that had been doing very well and hadn’t conceded many goals,” he said.

And he closed with a positive view of the performance: “In the second half we showed a better side in our play and the combinations were very good
