Lértora on Colón’s secret to success: “We’ll find our best form by playing” | OneFootball

After the solid debut of Sabalero in the Primera Nacional, Federico Lértora, a key figure in the midfield, shared his perspective on a victory that brings relief and hope. With the authority granted by his career in Santa Fe, the midfielder made it clear that this is just the first step on a path that requires patience and constant evolution.

Personality for the Debut

For the midfielder, breaking the ice with three points was an absolute priority to calm the environment and strengthen the group. “Starting by winning and winning well was fundamental,” stated Lértora, who appreciated how the team handled the pressure of a packed stadium. In his view, the collective response to the demand was remarkable: “Today we didn’t deserve to start any other way. The team had the personality to play, fight, and compete.”

In Search of Collective Identity

Beyond the result, Lértora’s tactical analysis was straightforward. The midfielder understands that the team’s ceiling is still far off and that the rhythm will be gained as the matches progress: “We will find our best version by playing.”

He highlighted the defensive solidity and intelligence to strike at the right moments, attributing the tactical order to the weekly work. “There was a compact team in all lines and with good partnerships. That is the product of work,” he explained, although he is not satisfied and warned that there is still “a tremendous margin for improvement” ahead.

His stay at the institution was no coincidence; Lértora aligned himself with the current club structure and the seriousness of the new process. But above all, he focused on the unity of the locker room: “There’s a group that started, another that closed the game, and another that pushes from the outside. With everyone’s commitment, important things can be achieved.”

A Long-Haul Tournament

Looking to the future, the midfield “Lion” called for calm and consistency, knowing that the Primera Nacional is not won in the early rounds, but in the final endurance. “The fans’ hope is the same as we feel, but we have to learn to enjoy the day-to-day,” he reflected cautiously.

To conclude, he outlined the definitive roadmap for returning to the top category:
