José Néstor Vignatti, Colón’s trustee, spoke with LT10 about his role as an agricultural producer and the current state of the sector, though in passing he also addressed some issues related to Sabalero’s football side.

Regarding the comparison between what it means to be an agricultural leader and a sports executive, he explained: “In our business, I’ve been at it from ’69 to today; we’ve bought exorbitant amounts and never signed a single paper—everything is based on trust. And in football, you sign ten papers and they screw you over.”

As for his work at the club, he said: “At this point I help out because I like it, it’s been in my blood from the beginning,” although he noted that “when it comes to football, there are other people in charge.”

As for how he sees the team for the rest of the year, he did not go into detail but said that “in football, experience is not always the main thing. You have to get it right, be bold with signings.”

Finally, he was asked about his time as president, during which he became champion but also suffered relegation. “They’re different feelings. Many have been relegated; few have been champions.”
