Kily González and his leading Union: “People have to be excited” :: Olé

“It’s great to see us up there,” said Cristian Gonzalez after a new Union victory. And is not for less. Tate had a furious start in the Professional League, with three wins (Banfield, Barracas and Independiente Rivadavia), a draw (Instituto) and just one goal against.

Union came from un good start to the semester in terms of numbers, but He failed at key moments. In part, it was what prevented them from getting into the League Cup playoffs, despite having earned a good amount of points. That, added to the early elimination in the Argentine Cup at the hands of Gimnasia de Mendoza, which shook Kily’s cycle at the head of the team.

At this beginning of the tournament, the chip seems to have changed. And those cool games that were difficult for him before, he can now pull off. The coach did not hide his happiness and, as a key factor, mentioned the talk he had with his players at halftime in Mendoza: “In the first 45 minutes we were surpassed. We had a good talk about being shorter and more aggressive. That’s how we started to progress on the field and the penalty came, which luckily we converted.”

Despite the victory, Unión did not have a good game in Mendoza and the team lowered its level compared to the previous three games. The DT did not let it go and expressed this: “I have a team that gives itself and makes an enormous effort. I am demanding with them. We came from an almost perfect match and we couldn’t sustain it, but this is football and the rival also plays. The people of Unión have to be excited, because this team never delivers. “We all like to play well and when we can’t, we have to adapt.”

It suits Tate well and he doesn’t mind leaving Santa Fe. So far this year, sHe had 16 points in nine games, which makes an effectiveness of almost 60%, product of four victories, four draws and one defeat.

“It is a group with a lot of heart. We haven’t lost a visitor in a long time and that’s good. The defense was firm and compact. They didn’t have situations, so We add up and it’s great to see each other up there. “Hopefully we can win the next game to finish this stage well,” were Kily’s words regarding this streak of his team. On the next day, Unión will host San Lorenzo and will have the chance to go into the break as one of the leaders in the Professional League.

The coach of the Santa Fe team knows that against the Ciclón he will not be able to count on Bruno Pittón and Adrián Rocky Balboa, both sent off in the match against Independiente Rivadavia. Those places could be occupied by Lucas Gamba and Mateo del Blanco. The latter returned to the fields against Mendoza Leprosy after being out for more than three months due to an injury to one of his ankles. In turn, he will recover Jerónimo Dómina, who did not travel to Mendoza because he is training with the Argentina Under 20 National Team.
