Iván Delfino: «The goal was avoidable, a player ran 50 metres unchallenged» | OneFootball

Colón suffered a tough setback in its visit to Racing de Córdoba, and after the match, coach IvánDelfino expressed his concern over the team’s performance, analyzing what happened on the field in a direct way: “No defeat is a good one, no matter how we are doing. It was a tough match, one half for each side, the goal could have been avoided, one player runs 50 meters unchallenged. We lost every duel, and then we didn’t have the tools to get forward clearly. The match was nothing more than that. It was difficult to play, but you have to be brave; they managed to play and we didn’t have that determination to move the ball.”

Looking ahead to the immediate future, the Sabalero manager emphasized the team’s collective shortcomings and the urgent issues the squad will have to correct:“This is Nacional B, maybe sometimes we’ll win with very little, we don’t like losing, now we have to analyze what we did well. I didn’t like the disorder at the end, it’s either all together or none. We played too much with our backs to goal through the forwards, they outplayed us in midfield, the mistake starts from one of our free kicks, it could have been prevented a few meters earlier on the goal.”

In line with the footballing flaws exposed in Nueva Italia, the tactical leader went deeper into the demands of the division: “We have to work on order and identity, we’re working so they don’t just get rid of the ball, we can’t afford to slow down, if we’re going to run into something, then we have to do it.”

Finally, when explaining the substitutions he made in the second half to try to overturn the unfavorable scoreline, Delfino concluded with strong self-criticism:“With the changes I looked for more aggression, but we lacked clarity, we didn’t finish our moves well and we came away empty-handed in what was, overall, a poor match. The image you leave is what leads you to improve, and I didn’t like us at the end today.”
