Julián Palacios is ready to return. After missing the matches against Sarmiento and Instituto due to the suspension he received following his sending-off against Aldosivi, the midfielder will once again be available to Leonardo Madelón for Unión’s visit to Talleres.

Palacios spoke about that red card and admitted that he still finds it hard to understand the referee’s decision, mainly because he believes there was no intention to go in violently on his opponent.

“You start thinking about it when you’re calmly at home because there are lots of plays like these that only get a yellow card and nothing more,” the player said.

Palacios also pointed to a situation that, from his perspective, causes frustration among players: the inconsistency of criteria he sees in different incidents in Argentine football.

“Then I also start thinking about plays in other matches that were kicks or whatever, and they didn’t even go to VAR. So that bothers you,” the midfielder said.

Palacios’ message about teams from the interior

The Unión player avoided directly criticizing the referees, although he called for greater attention so that decisions do not end up harming teams from the interior.

We all make mistakes, but I think they need to pay a little more attention to help all teams and not let it work against the smaller clubs,” he said.

Now Palacios can put the suspension behind him and once again play a key role for a Unión side coming off two emphatic victories and looking to maintain its good form in Córdoba.

What about his future?

The midfielder was also asked about his contractual situation and the possibility of staying in Santa Fe after December.

His response was emphatic and left the matter in the hands of his agent: “I don’t know, talk to my agent,” Palacios said.

For now, the midfielder is focused on the immediate future: returning to play in Unión’s shirt this Saturday against Talleres and contributing his football in a match that will once again have El Tatengue playing away from home.
