🙄 Demands it every which way: Gago's method revolutionises la U | OneFootball

Fernando Gago’s arrival at Universidad de Chile has marked a before and after in the intensity at the Centro Deportivo Azul. After overcoming the initial controversy over the strict dietary restrictions, the squad is beginning to align with the Argentine coach’s philosophy. Marcelo Morales, a key piece in the team’s recent setup, revealed details about the internal atmosphere and the high standards imposed by the new manager.

Physical and psychological intensity

“He’s someone who always demands in every way: physically, psychologically, and technically,” Morales explained. The players point out that Gago’s prestige as a former elite footballer backs up his authority on the bench. This methodology has already shown its first results with total dominance in the recent win over Audax Italiano, restoring confidence to a group that had been under scrutiny.

A win for calm

The full-back spoke positively about the change in direction, saying that working with favorable results makes it easier to adapt to the tactical variations “Pintita” is looking for. La U seems to have found the way to break its poor runs and establish a proactive style of play.
