Mauro Pittón, Unión captain: «My team-mates always respected the badge» | OneFootball

Mauro Pittón, Unión’s captain, spoke after the defeat against Independiente in the Argentine Cup and strongly backed the squad and Leonardo Madelón.

The midfielder described the match as “an unusual game” and regretted the early red card that affected the team: “They scored two great goals and then we were down to ten men — that killed us”.

Despite the heavy blow of the elimination, Pittón highlighted the group’s commitment during the semester: “I want to recognize each one of my teammates, who always respected the badge, the colors, and competed on every pitch”.

In addition, the captain referred to the refereeing and pointed out differences in the criteria: “There were moments when our fouls were yellow cards and some of theirs were not, but beyond that the team went out and competed anyway”.

He also made it clear that the squad fully supports Leonardo Madelón: “Leo supports us in everything and we always back him. He was the one who gave us confidence and made us believe in what we were doing”.
