Budiño: Satisfied and on track after final Uruguay friendly | OneFootball

Colón drew 1-1 with Paysandú in regular time and ended up losing 5-3 in the penalty shootout, in what was the last friendly match in preparation for the tournament. Beyond the result, the Sabalero squad highlighted the positive feelings left by the match.

After the game, Matías Budiño analyzed the team's current state and emphasized the adaptation process the group is undergoing. "The feelings are very good. We have been working very hard and very well. That's what matters for what's coming this year, which is going to be very long and in a difficult category," said the goalkeeper.

The former Estudiantes (B.A) player also appreciated the collective performance despite the short amount of time working together. "Today I leave quite satisfied. We are a new team and adapting to the coaching staff's idea in such a short time is not easy, but we are doing it well," he explained.

On a personal level, Budiño acknowledged that he is going through a stage of many changes, although he highlighted the group's response. "It's the first time I've faced such a drastic change, but we are adapting quite well. We have to be protagonists of the tournament and I believe we are on the right path."

Additionally, he referred to the style of play that Ezequiel Medrán is trying to implement. "We are understanding it. It was demonstrated in several passages of the match: being protagonists, attacking from the wings, and being strong defensively. In this category, it's crucial to keep a clean sheet and create opportunities," he stated.

Finally, Budiño considered the delay in the start of the Primera Nacional to be positive. "One wants it to start already and play for points, but this time will serve to polish details and arrive better prepared," he concluded.
