Aránguiz highlighted the team's gradual improvement and adaptation to the coach's methods. He noted the close standings in the Ascenso League, with Unión Española positioned within the promotion playoff spots. "The table is very tight, we finished in the Liguilla group, we are a couple of points from third place, two from the leader," he said, underscoring the team's ambition to return the club to the top division.
