Mateo Del Blanco shines for Unión against Gimnasia (LP) | OneFootball

Union found in Mateo Del Blanco something more than a pleasant surprise: a key tool to maintain its leadership in Zone A of the Clausura Tournament. Trained as a midfielder, he reinvented himself as a fullback and today is one of the most unbalancing pieces. His growth is no longer a promise, it is the present.

Last weekend he was a standout in the important victory against Gimnasia de La Plata, with a stunning goal that opened the match and ignited the team. But his influence goes beyond the goal: he has four assists in the tournament and has directly participated in five of Tate's conquests. For a player who didn't start the year as a fixed starter, the evolution is remarkable.

Del Blanco combines deployment, tactical reading, and an uncommon ability to unbalance from the back. Although his DNA is that of a midfielder, he knew how to adapt to the fullback position with intelligence and offensive aggression. He provides breadth, breaks lines, and generates superiority in attack. In a team that seeks to be the protagonist, he has become one of its engines.
