Conrado Ibarra: “This is something I dreamed of since I was a kid” | OneFootball

The words of Conrado Ibarra after scoring his first goal for Colón in the 1-1 draw against Ferro

It was something I dreamed of since I was little, ever since I was in the little school here at this club. But, well, there's also that bittersweet taste; I would have liked to secure the victory here at home, to get the three points. We know that everyone from Colón wants to win, but I think we put in a significant effort, and well, we have to keep working. Regarding the position, it was a position I was already familiar with.

Since I was little, I was a midfielder and then moved back, but during the preseason, Ezequiel placed me well in that position, and little by little, he gives me the tools every day to improve my game. It's a plus to play here with our people, but I think the match against Central Norte (0:48) we didn’t play poorly. In the first half, as we also said, (0:52) we were superior throughout the match, in my opinion.

Yes, there were no goal situations, but we were positioned well and went for it in the end. It's a privilege to be here; I know I have to be prepared for any moment, for whenever it's my turn. It's a huge responsibility to wear this jersey, so I know it well, I have it clear, I have to be prepared.

Honestly, today was something I dreamed of since I was little, with all my family from Colón. So, well, I'm happy, but also with that bittersweet taste like Ezequiel, who always pushes me forward, gives me that confidence any player needs to do well. And well, it brings me a lot of happiness.

I didn't know about what was being talked about, but if that's the case, it makes me very happy and gives me more desire to keep going for more. Well, I dedicate the first goal to my old man who's not here, who was my Colón poison boy, but I know that wherever he is, he must be happy, Chocho, so it's for him.
