Colón, risking pushing Nacho Lago out of his comfort zone

Colón is already thinking about the commitment on Saturday at 8 PM against Acassuso at the Brigadier General Estanislao López Stadium, for the fifth round of the Primera Nacional. However, coach Ezequiel Medrán will have to make important decisions due to the forced absences in the offensive sector.

The Possible Move of Lago

One of the alternatives gaining strength is moving Ignacio Lago to the right wing to cover Marcioni's absence. In that case, the left side would be occupied by Conrado Ibarra, who scored the sabalero's goal in the last match against Ferro.

The decision would imply a tactical risk for Medrán. Since his arrival at the club, Lago has almost always played on the left side, where he has become one of the most decisive players on the team in the last two seasons in the Primera Nacional.

Even after being out of the field for eight months due to a torn cruciate ligament, the winger returned to be a key player, especially for his ability to cut inside, his imbalance, and his goal-scoring contribution.

Moving him from that sector would mean taking him out of his area of greatest influence, although the change also makes sense: Lago is right-footed and knows the position on the right, although historically he has performed better starting from the left.
