Rocha explained why he chose Unión: «It all happened very quickly» | OneFootball

Matías Rocha was officially unveiled as Unión’s new signing and expressed his happiness at completing a move that, as he revealed, had already come close to happening some time ago. The Uruguayan defender said that when the chance to wear the red-and-white jersey came up again, he had no doubts and accepted the challenge immediately.

The center back said Unión’s interest is nothing new, since there had been talks in a previous transfer window to bring him in, although the deal could not be completed. This time, negotiations moved quickly and allowed the player to join the squad coached by Leonardo Madelón.

“When the chance to join Unión came up again, I didn’t hesitate,” Rocha said, stressing that he is very excited about this new stage in his career and the opportunity to compete in Argentine football. He also highlighted the importance of the club’s call and the effort made to finalize his arrival.

The defender also noted that he arrives match-fit and ready to make himself available to the coaching staff as soon as possible. In that sense, he said he intends to adapt quickly to the group and contribute from whatever role he is asked to fill.

Rocha became one of Tatengue’s signings for the second half of the season, in which Unión will look to play a leading role in the Torneo Clausura. The Uruguayan hopes to earn a place in the defense and become an important option for Madelón ahead of the challenges to come.
