The proud record Unión achieved over the year | OneFootball

Unión closed out the year establishing itself as one of the teams that gave the most minutes to Under-22 players. A clear sign of a project and sporting conviction. Under the guidance of Leonardo Madelón, the second half of the year showed greater consistency and an identity that had youth as one of its pillars, especially in defense.

The greatest impact of the young players was seen at the back, with a line made up entirely of footballers born from 2003 onwards, a fact that reflects not only a bet on the future but also confidence to compete in the present. According to the statistical platform Data Moroni, Mateo Del Blanco ranked as the third Under-22 player with the most minutes this season, accumulating 2,807’. The ranking is led by Ezequiel Báez from San Lorenzo with 3,481’, followed by Alexis Luna from Instituto with 2,944’.

Unión, high up in the Top Under-22

The report also highlights that San Lorenzo, Unión, and Tigre led the list of clubs with three Under-22 players in the Top for minutes played. In the case of Tate, in addition to Del Blanco, Lautaro Vargas with 2,326’ and Valentín Fascendini with 1,991’ also appear.

Far from being a circumstantial necessity, the inclusion of young players was part of a strategic decision. Madelón managed to maintain competitiveness while developing individual talents, something that translated into continuity, confidence, and sustained performance in the final stretch of the championship.

The statistics support the chosen path: Unión took a chance, delivered, and is planning ahead. With young players who have already gained experience, Tate not only closed out a season with outstanding numbers, but also ensures a future built on solid foundations.
