“In football there's no time”: Rasmussen on quick adaptation for Colón wins | OneFootball

Colón put their bad run behind them and picked up three vital points at the Brigadier López. After the narrow win, defender Federico Rasmussen spoke to the press, where he analyzed how the match unfolded, praised the work alongside the coaching staff, and looked ahead to the final stretch of the championship.

Defensive advice and a desire to keep learning

When asked about the guidance he receives from Paolo Goltz, Rasmussen detailed the day-to-day working dynamic. “He guides me, watches the plays as they happen; he handles the defensive side and keeps giving advice,” explained the center-back. Far from being satisfied with the result, the player showed self-criticism and ambition: “I like to keep learning, we have things to improve both individually and as a group. Hopefully, all together, we can continue on this winning path.”

Racing against the clock to adapt and the value of the win

The defender did not hide the pressure the squad was under and the urgency to change the image they had shown in front of their fans. “We know that every match in Argentine football is very difficult, today was no exception, and we needed to win again. We won at home,” he stressed with relief.

Regarding the arrival of the new coaching staff, the defender was blunt about the demands of the competition: “Now we’ll keep working, trying to adapt quickly to what their coaching staff told us. In football there is no time, that’s why I’m telling you we have to adapt quickly to what they ask for,” he said. He also already turned his attention to the next away match: “We want to bring something important back to Santa Fe again next weekend.”

A battle against a difficult rival

Finally, Rasmussen agreed that the game looked more like a battle than a cleanly played match, and he recalled the recent meeting against the “Candombero.” “We faced an opponent that gave us a hard time in the first round. Today we went after it, kept pushing, and it came through the penalty,” he said.

To close, the Colón player offered a blunt warning about the 12 rounds remaining before the tournament ends: “Every match is complicated, nobody gives you anything. Every opponent is tough, there’s nothing easy in all of Argentine football. We kept searching for it and ended up suffering, as in most matches, because that’s what Argentine football is like.”
