Thiago Yossen: Not fussed about final rivals, ready for anything | OneFootball

The former defender of Colón spoke with our colleagues from ADN Gol and anticipated what will be the final for the promotion to the first division defending the jersey of Deportivo Madryn and also took the time to comment on the present that Colón had to live this year in the Primera Nacional.

No, no, well, I think it was a year of growth for everyone, of a lot of seriousness within the group, of work, of wanting to achieve something big that, well, little by little it was happening and today we are one step away from achieving it.

Well, I think it's a big part of him as well as the entire coaching staff that, well, they were a great help because of their way of being, how close one feels to them, you know? The way they treat you, how they try to reach you, so added to the great group we have, they formed a very important part.

No, no, it was good because of the people I am working with today, it got complicated at the beginning of the year, you know? With all the issue of finding a club and well, in the last weeks of the market there was an interest, it took a few weeks, but well, I ended up coming here.

Yes, the truth is yes, the guys already had practically a month of preseason, I was clearly training in Santa Fe, but yes, I arrived a little later than most.

No, yes, yes, the truth was difficult, I was with my family there suffering, because I had received a few months ago a news from Colón that I did not expect, so being suffering for so long there was complicated

I knew it was a team that had already done it last year, that wanted to fight the tournament and well, that had mostly put together a great squad with important names.

Obviously a beautiful city, I never get tired of saying it, the city is beautiful, the club is very nice, tidy, doing things well, so well, clearly I could go talking, it is growing very fast  And well, then good people, who are eager, as I tell you, to move forward, to get the club ahead and well, I think it is bearing fruit.

No, the truth is well, the news was not told to me by anyone, I, in fact, had been told as far as I knew months before, in the little time that I started playing again in the first  That I was going to sign a contract, that I had promised something, and well, then practically from being a starter several games in a row, they stopped calling me for no reason  And just as I asked questions, asked for answers, they never gave them to me from the other side, and until I understood that perhaps it was not the idea of the directors or the person who was in charge at that time  That I continue at the club, and well, the truth is that with the things that had happened in recent years, I decided perhaps not to continue investigating and to step aside from the club.

No, well, the truth is yes, that I had quite clear what I wanted for my future this, that it did not matter if it was in Colón or elsewhere, I wanted, let's say, to dedicate myself to this, to dedicate my life, because it is what I always dreamed  And well, also with the help of my parents, perhaps it becomes a little easier, as you say, perhaps there are conditions or needs that one cannot afford, or you reach an age that you also have to fulfill with certain thing in your house  And well, luckily, with the help of my dad, I did not have those obligations and I was able to stay calm about having to dedicate myself, or being able to dedicate myself to this.

No, no, the truth is very good too, I got to play in the local league, the first, let's say, in the local league, share with the boys, I have seen boys of a very high level  I know that, in fact, they recently promoted, a week ago, two lower boys, to the professional squad, and well, as far as I know, they have been promoting boys for several years in a row So well, the truth is that the lower ones also contribute a lot, they want to grow in that aspect too, and as I tell you, I think that in all areas, in all places, the club wants to grow a little more.

Yes, the truth is as I was telling you, from the beginning of the year the idea was to fight the tournament, we did not want to settle for less than that, because we knew what we were for.

Well, with a lot of work, a lot of humility, which I always think characterized us, things could work better, and well, just before the end of the First Round, we started, we changed a lot our idea of play  And little by little, we were able to find that path we wanted of victory, of not losing points, practically of not losing.

Yes, exactly, perhaps as I tell you, at the beginning it was difficult, we were more doubtful than certain, and well, then we were able to accommodate ourselves

Yes, yes, of course, it is a very even tournament, that competes and fights equally throughout the year And the truth is yes, that we are already thinking, without taking away merit or importance to this last game, we know that all are equal and important for us  But really yes, we are already thinking about the final that is coming and waiting for the match  no problem, whoever comes  the truth is that today we don't care so much about the opponent, we know what we do and we know that we are prepared.
