Pulga Rodríguez: "Dreadful time, same story for us again" | OneFootball

Colón remains mired in its football and emotional crisis, and the 1-0 defeat against Defensores de Belgrano at the Juan Pasquale stadium for matchday 29 of Group B of the Primera Nacional once again exposed their shortcomings. After the match, Luis Rodríguez spoke bluntly about the situation and did not hide his frustration.

El Pulga stated that “the moment is regrettable, the same thing always happens to us: we get hurt on set pieces and we don’t react. We can’t find a response. We have to keep working, hopefully we can do things better this weekend.”

Regarding his own situation, he said: “I’m recovered, I trained normally all week. Sometimes, not playing matches or not starting from the first minute is tough. There are no excuses, we have to improve no matter who plays, lift ourselves emotionally and get three points to forget about this terrible year we’ve had.”

As for the fight to stay up, he stated: “It should concern us, not worry us. We have to get three points at home to be calm for next year and do things better both on the sporting and management side to return Colón to where it deserves to be: the First Division.”

He added: “When we concede a goal, it’s very hard for us to react. It feels like the match is over. Hopefully we can work on this in the five matches we have left.”

Returning to Colón’s current situation, he was self-critical about the football and distanced himself from the management side. “We didn’t fight for the championship the way we should have. Don’t ask me about the other stuff, ask the people who put all this together.”

“I never imagined seeing Colón in the B, but here we are and we have to grit our teeth, keep working, win matches and forget about this tournament, so Colón secures its place in the division”, he concluded.
