Ezequiel Medrán: » Our lack of cutting edge stopped us taking all three » | OneFootball

Colón coach Ezequiel Medrán praised the team’s attitude against Los Andes at the Gallardón and stressed that, despite the difficulties, the performance gives reason to keep believing.

After the 1-1 draw against Los Andes at the Eduardo Gallardón stadium, Colón coach Ezequiel Medrán made it clear that the team took a step forward in terms of performance, even if the result was not what they had hoped for.

Obviously, we feel we deserved something more. The good thing is that in terms of attitude, commitment, and work, it was really very good. I think that, all in all, when I watch it again, we’ll probably deserve it even more clearly. Maybe if we had been more efficient in front of goal, we should have come away with the win.

But the most important thing is that the team worked very well, competed well, and showed an important attitude in the way it approached the match. I think the path to becoming strong at home again has shown major signs, good signs. We know we had been doing well at home; maybe our outstanding issue was away from home, although we had done very well against Patronato. Today, what matters is that if we work this way, that result we’ve been chasing will surely come.

The reading is clear: we had a clear chance from Nacho Lago in the first half, then in the second half as well. That’s why I say maybe it came down to finishing, but that’s part of the demands of the match, right? The chance Nacho Lago had, the one Marcioni had, the one Cano had, the one Bonansea had. They were clear scoring chances that we just couldn’t finish off, and that kept us from taking all three points. But the important thing is that the chances were created, and I’m left with the great attitude the team showed when competing. I value that highly, very highly, because I think they felt comfortable, and this is the path to addressing the issue we still have as a team when playing away from home.

On Sarmiento: Darío, we’ve been working with him since preseason, and today he had the chance to start and get some minutes. He did well. We’ve supported him through an important process on a personal, family, and sporting level that we had been waiting for. Today he got his chance and he really did well, so that puts him in a good moment.

We are hopeful and we are working for the Superliga. Our ultimate goal is to reach the Superliga. We are fully committed and deeply convinced by what we see in our work. I’m really proud of the group.

Then, obviously, beyond the result and what we are going through, I value the great group of people we have day to day. And really, to be clear, I feel that what we are going through in the league is part of the process. We are aligned with what I believe is the right path to achieve the objective we want. But we are hopeful and we are working with unconditional commitment.
