Del Blanco: We play the same against anyone after Boca draw | OneFootball

Despite Unión's good performance in the Torneo Apertura, the 1-1 draw against the Xeneize did not satisfy the players. Mateo Del Blanco analyzed the game's development at the 15 de Abril stadium and acknowledged that, although the point adds up, the feeling in the locker room was one of frustration for not being able to maintain the lead.

Consistency as a Goal

“We are having a very good tournament and we work to maintain consistency. But when points slip away like this, it leaves you angry because we feel that we could have won the match,” expressed the defender, who highlighted that the team had clear chances even towards the end to secure the victory.

The Wall Between the Posts

Del Blanco spared no praise for his goalkeeper, a key player in salvaging the draw: “Mansilla made two or three very important saves, he kept us in the game at crucial moments”. However, he regretted that the collective effort did not translate into three points due to specific lapses.

No Excessive Respect for Hierarchy

Asked about the approach against so-called “big” teams, the fullback was blunt: “We know that Boca has a lot of hierarchy, but for us, all matches are difficult. We try to play the same way against anyone, regardless of the opponent,” he explained about the identity promoted by Madelón's team.

The Unresolved Issue: Knowing How to Close Matches

Finally, the young player emphasized a recurring flaw, recalling the precedent against Independiente in Avellaneda: “That's what leaves you the most frustrated. In that match, we almost had it closed and couldn't hold it, and today something similar happened. These are details we need to improve to secure the three points,” he concluded.
