Cristian Tarragona: «Unión earned respect» | OneFootball

Cristian Tarragona spoke after Unión’s elimination against Independiente in the Copa Argentina and backed Leonardo Madelón amid doubts about whether he will remain in charge.

The striker avoided stirring controversy over the refereeing despite the early yellow cards Unión received: “I don’t like talking about referees, everything is decided on the field. We have to admit that we were deservedly beaten.”

Tarragona also highlighted the team’s work during the semester: “Unión earned people’s respect. We were contenders in both tournaments, but this is football, and if you don’t win, you’re out.”

Regarding the coach’s future, he was clear: “I’ve known Leo for many years, and I think Unión suits him well. After that, we’ll respect whatever decision he makes.”

On a personal level, the forward said he feels comfortable in Santa Fe and made his contract situation clear: “I have a contract until December and I’m very happy at Unión.”
