Leandro Spies on Colón’s revival: United in tough times | OneFootball

The current state of Colón basketball in the Argentine League took a positive turn after a successful tour in Mendoza. In a conversation with Darío Pignata on the ADN program on Radio Gol 96.7, coach Leandro Spies analyzed the team's moment, which comes from achieving key victories against Rivadavia and Bragado Las Heras, gaining a crucial breather in their fight for permanence.

Resilience as a Flag

The path was not easy for the Sabalero squad. During the talk, the players' ability to overcome serious institutional and economic problems they faced was highlighted, including payment delays and logistical difficulties.

In this regard, Spies was blunt about the group's strength: “I believe that in adversity two things can happen, either everything goes to hell, or you come together, unite, and everyone focuses on the same light.” The coach emphasized that the key was honesty: “There is no formula, I simply believe you have to be straightforward, say things as they are, not lie to anyone.”

The Mental Factor and Team Play

For the coach, the psychological aspect has been the turning point to resolve the end of games that previously slipped away due to details or inexperience. “When the team flows and confidence rises a bit, it allows you to have a certain level of play where you know you might be better than the opponent,” he explained.

Looking ahead, Colón will face a key series at the Roque Otrino Stadium, where they will seek to make the most of their supporters' presence.

Analysis of National Basketball

Spies also took a moment to reflect on the current state of Argentine basketball and the National Team. Following the recent performance of the national team, the coach was critical of the lack of comprehensive processes: “If you want to be serious in a process, you have to aim for a more comprehensive approach... it is a group support that if one day they cannot be there for X reason, you can continue competing.”

Finally, the coach reaffirmed his commitment to Colón's project, emphasizing that the goal is “to project or form a process in the sports discipline of basketball plus the institutional aspect in the best possible way in the long term.”
