Colón's tactical doubts before Ferro: does Antonio return? | OneFootball

The squad completed its final training session in the city this Wednesday and is now in Buenos Aires ahead of a crucial clash. This Friday at 7:30 p.m., El Sabalero will visit the competition leaders, Ferro Carril Oeste. To fine-tune the final details of the game plan, the Santa Fe side will train this afternoon at the facility owned by Independiente in Villa Domínico.

During the formal football practice held before traveling, the coaching staff raised eyebrows by shaking things up and testing tactical variations. The starting lineup was made up of: Peinipil, Rasmussen, Olmedo and Allende; Marcioni, Antonio, Lertora and Lago; Sarmiento and Bonansea. Compared to the eleven that beat Central Norte, the only change in the starting side was the return of Antonio—who had served his suspension for yellow cards—in place of Matías Muñoz.

However, the tactical drill did not stop there. As the minutes went by, the head coach tested a major shift by bringing on García for Lago and Muñoz for Sarmiento. These changes completely reshaped the structure on the pitch, switching the system to a clear five-man midfield, an option designed specifically to counter the league leaders’ strength in Caballito.
