“No time in football”: Rasmussen on adapting fast to keep Colón winning | OneFootball

Colón put their bad run behind them and picked up three vital points at the Brigadier López. After the narrow win, defender Federico Rasmussen spoke to the press, where he analyzed how the match unfolded, praised the work alongside the coaching staff, and looked ahead to the final stretch of the championship.

Defensive advice and a desire to keep learning

When asked about the instructions he receives from Paolo Goltz, Rasmussen explained the day-to-day working dynamic. “He guides me, watches the plays as they happen; he handles the defensive side and gives advice,” the center-back explained. Far from being satisfied with the result, the player was self-critical and ambitious: “I like to keep learning, and we have things to improve both individually and as a group. Hopefully all together we can keep going down this winning path.”

Racing against the clock to adapt and the value of the win

The center-back did not hide the pressure the squad was under coming into the match or the urgency to change their image in front of their home fans. “We know all matches in Argentine football are very difficult, and today was no exception. We needed to win again. We won at home,” he stressed with relief.

Regarding the arrival of the new coaching staff, the defender was blunt about the demands of the tournament: “Now we’ll keep working, trying to adapt quickly to what their coaching staff told us. In football there’s no time, so that’s why I’m telling you we have to adapt quickly to what they ask for.” He also already has his eyes on the next away match: “We want to bring something important back to Santa Fe again next weekend.”

A battle against a tough opponent

Finally, Rasmussen agreed that the game felt more like a battle than a clean, flowing match, and recalled the previous meeting against the “Candombero.” “We faced an opponent that gave us a hard time in the first round. Today we went after it, kept pushing, and it came through the penalty,” he analyzed.

To wrap up, the Colón player issued a blunt warning about the 12 matches remaining before the tournament ends: “All matches are complicated, nobody gives you anything. Every opponent is tough, there’s nothing easy in all of Argentine football. We kept pushing for it and ended up suffering, like in most matches, because that’s what Argentine football is like.”
