Madelón: We must keep our feet on the ground and keep building steadily | OneFootball

After Unión’s 2-2 draw against Independiente Rivadavia at the 15 de Abril stadium, coach Leonardo Madelón gave an extensive analysis of the match, highlighting both his team’s strengths and the aspects that need improvement looking ahead.

The rojiblanco coach emphasized the intensity of the game and the parity that was present throughout the 90 minutes: “It was a very intense match, back and forth, where both teams attacked a lot. We could have won it, but we could have lost it too. In the past, these kinds of games would slip away in the last play, so today I prefer to see the glass as half full,” he assured.

Leo Madelón’s unique analysis of Unión’s draw

Madelón explained that during the week they had worked especially on how to break through the five-man defensive line set up by the Lepra from Mendoza. In that regard, he appreciated the change in attitude in the second half: “Unión plays well when the ball is kept on the ground, not when we just launch long balls. In the second half, we managed to take more control and found spaces.”

The tatengue coach also spoke about the need to control anxiety when playing at home, acknowledging that opponents tend to close down more paths: “We have to learn to manage our patience. Away from home, games open up more for us, but at home, they wait for us and know us well. Still, I’m satisfied, because the team gives everything on the field and we keep adding points at the top.”

Finally, Madelón valued the current state of his squad and the support from the fans: “Two months ago we were in a very complicated situation and today we’re well positioned. The fans supported us a lot and that’s something you can feel. We have to keep our feet on the ground and continue growing with solidity.”
