Lucas Meuli: My focus is on Unión, I want to debut here | OneFootball

The reserve goalkeeper for Unión, who yesterday was the team’s standout figure by saving two penalties in the shootout against the Tucumanos to secure a spot in the quarterfinals of the Proyección tournament, dreams of finally making his long-awaited debut in the First Division.

Yes, yes, just as you say, I try to approach it with what I’ve learned, a bit from the experience I’ve gained, both in the First Division and in the Reserves. I try to give advice, as I mentioned earlier, not only to Santiago and Misael, but also to Giacone, Peresuti who are coming up, Isla, Ayala, and I don’t want to forget anyone, but they’re all having a great moment.

Last week we had a training session against the First Division team, it went really well, we played them as equals and I know they’re in a fantastic moment that they shouldn’t let slip by.

Yes, obviously it’s important for us, both Madelón and Moncho, as well as Fede, are behind us, supporting the kids, coming to watch the training sessions.

The other day when we had a football practice, the reserve kids, they were there, it was on Monday when they also had a game and they were present, and for the kids it’s very important to see them there, to see that they’re paying attention, and well, I tell them to try to enjoy the moment and to keep working hard.

Yes, as you said, it’s a real challenge, it’s about working day by day, not letting yourself get down mentally, because if you fall into that mental slump, it’s very hard to get out of it. I try to work on it every day with the psychologist and then talk it over, talk it over with the coaches, and well, wait for the opportunity to come up in the professional squad, and if it’s not here, I’ll evaluate what I need to in December and look for new horizons, but right now my mind is on Unión, right now my goal is to make my debut here and, well, we’re waiting for the opportunity.

Yes, as I was saying, this group, I mentioned it to you today, the team, the work that Nico, Juan, and I don’t want to forget the other guys, do is absolutely fantastic, wonderful. They’ve been at the club for two years and came in with a lot of drive, bringing great energy. Look, they were knocked out of a semifinal in the first tournament they took on, eliminated by San Lorenzo, then we were knocked out by Central, and today we got our rematch, we secured a spot in the quarterfinals, but I don’t want to stop thanking them for the positive energy they brought.
