Medero and Agoglia: Colón must rediscover its identity and pride | OneFootball

The candidates for sports directors from the Sangre de Campeones group visited the ADN GOL studios and had this to say about the future.

Look, when we talk to him, we do so because we found his profile very interesting and the data he brought in terms of results were very, very good. So, well, we started chatting. First, we talked with him, then we talked with Carlos Mayor.

In Buenos Aires, I also met with Carlos Mayor because I find him a very interesting coach. And it turns out that the gesture Ezequiel had towards us, after the meeting he had with the current management, he called me to tell me he was going to take over at Colón. So, nothing, but we are constantly in touch, I'm messaging him, so we've been working since he took over the future Colón.

It's not like on December 1st, what are you going to do? No, we've been working with him for a while now.

We've always been attentive, and above all, always thinking about the team. We always look at the team, we always message with Nelson, talk about the sports side. He would go to Buenos Aires to see it, I here in Santa Fe.

We've always been expectant about that. With this project of technical direction, the Sports Secretariat, what concerns us. So always working towards... In the last election, Colón was still in the first division, and the project was for the club to stay, to grow, to qualify for some cup each year, which gives you a plus.

How? Well, nothing, building a competitive team, an intense team, a running team, what the category is, you know? With current names, not bringing players who come without continuity. And that's what we're working on, planning with Ezequiel for some time now. But our only goal, in our minds, is promotion.

So well, nothing. Also, to recover a bit of the identity, for Colón to regain its identity, that sense of belonging. That the fan feels identified with the team.

I think that's the most important thing. And then, starting from what base. Today I didn't start from any base.

Because sometimes you say, well, we tweak a bit. Today no, today we have to build a completely new squad.

No, no. All the talks are about achieving the goal. All the talks are about that. It's Colón.

It's Colón. He told us, yes, that when he was hired by Colón, he was in talks with another club, a Chilean club. But this, in the end, no.

And we also know it could come from Leskovich, who manages many players. Yes, yes, yes. He also manages the club.

So we know how the situation is. Good people. This is football.

Anyway, this is football. So we have to be prepared for everything. Look, we were just talking about that a little while ago.

Everyone tells you promotion. The goal is promotion. To ascend, to ascend.

It's the catchphrase you'll hear today, that everyone will promise. (6:50) The issue is what you do on day one. Let's go to the most earthly.

Because promotion, let's say, is more than a year away and it's something that's far, let's say, on the horizon. But what you do on day one is the question. And we already have day one won because we've been working for two months with the same coach, with the one who's there, with the one who's going to continue.

And we've already won day one. Yes, we're already prepared. He beats Ricardo on Sunday the 30th and we already officially announce all the talks we've had on Monday because we're talking, but until we're in government, you can't make any decisions.
