Luis Abraham: "We need to protect the points we've got" | OneFootball

At a crucial moment for Colón, where the margin for error is minimal and the pressure multiplies, key figures from the leadership and political spheres participated in a meeting this Wednesday with the coaching staff and players at the Hotel de Campo.

One of those who spoke and then shared his vision was Gustavo Abraham, who conveyed calmness, commitment, and a firm conviction ahead of Sunday's match in Santa Fe against Morón.

“It was a meeting as we expected. Very clear. We told the players everything the fans have been asking for. Nothing was held back, but we also understood that it's not the time for vehemence. Calmness is needed because we still have time to turn things around, and the players are confident that on Sunday this will change,” he said.

During the discussion, various topics were addressed, from sports to institutional matters. Abraham confirmed that doubts about the economic situation were cleared up: “It was made clear that there are no debts. And a possible financial reward was also discussed, but the players were upset with that proposal. And I think that's perfect. Because it speaks of self-respect, of being committed with sporting pride.”

It was also proposed to advance the team's concentration as a gesture of commitment and absolute focus on the match against Morón: “I always say that football is not for fools. Contributions can also be made from the outside. That's why a lot of work is being done on security and logistics, so the stadium can be a celebration and there are no sanctions that complicate the sports aspect. The entry of instruments, which add a boost to the cheering, has been allowed. It's a whole package.”

In that sense, he emphasized that Colón cannot afford more upsets: “We have to protect the points we have. A sanction due to incidents would be an unnecessary blow. The match must be played on the field and driven from the stands.”

Regarding strictly football matters, Abraham also pointed out a concern that is already visible to everyone: “A lot of work is being done on the physical aspect, but we have a real problem: we fall apart in the second halves. That has repercussions and conditions us. Although at this point, it's more about the mental aspect... and getting the ball in.”

He concluded his statement with a forceful phrase, one that leaves no room for ambiguity: “This story ends on Sunday. We are convinced. We are not thinking about Monday if things don't go well. This weekend has to conclude all of this.”
