Colón against the clock: José Alonso confirms targets, names ruled out | OneFootball

Colón president José Alonso analyzed the team’s current footballing situation, the difficulties of the transfer market, and the club’s aspirations in the tournament. He spoke to the press during the presentation of tomorrow’s Sub-15 vs. Liga Select team match, which will be played at 3:30 p.m. at the Brigadier López.

The club is working to bring in a wing-back or a playmaker (a “No. 10”) who can provide creativity, composure, and passes between the lines. Negotiations for “El Rancho” Rosales (Mitre), Tomás González (who remains in Río Cuarto), and Bolívar playmaker Arnaldo “Pitu” González have fallen through.

The top Sabalero official explained that taking players from other teams is difficult and expensive, especially since the closing of the local transfer window coincided with that of the First Division, making financial competition tougher. There is about a week left to finalize a signing from the list of options.

Team performance and objectives

He highlighted the group’s commitment and praised Nacho Lago’s versatility and intensity, although he admitted that the idea is to place him in his most comfortable position once an organizer arrives.

Although Ferro has built up an important points advantage, he emphasized that there are still 30 points left to play for. The goal is to keep hope alive match by match, put together a run of consecutive wins, and stay firmly in the fight for promotion or qualification for the Reducido with favorable home-field advantage.

He noted that Colón boasts a 73.33% success rate at home, has one of the best defensive records in the division, and one of the best goal differences (surpassed only by Morón).

He played down the recent refereeing controversies, noting that the division is very physical, with a lot of contact and officiating decisions that are difficult to interpret. He believes that over the course of the tournament, things tend to even out between calls that go against you and those that go in your favor.
