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

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

Looking ahead to the immediate future, the Sabalero head coach emphasized the team’s collective shortcomings and the urgent issues the squad will have to correct:“This is the Nacional B; sometimes we’re going to 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 has to be all together or none at all. We played too much with our backs to goal with the forwards, they outplayed us in midfield, the mistake came from one of our free kicks, it could have been stopped a few meters earlier on the goal.”

In line with the footballing flaws exposed in Nueva Italia, the tactician went deeper into the demands of the division: “We have to work on organization and identity, we’re working so they stop just getting rid of the ball, we can’t afford to ease off; if we have to crash into something, then we have to do it.”

Finally, when explaining the substitutions he made in the second half to try to overturn the scoreline, Delfino ended 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 from a match that was poor overall. The image you leave is what leads you to improve, and I didn’t like the way we looked at the end today.”
