Medrán on Colón: Focused on rhythm and partnerships for Madryn | OneFootball

The head coach spoke at a press conference after practice and addressed several topics, focusing on building the squad and what’s coming up ahead of the debut in Primera Nacional.

We continue to deepen the team’s functioning; this week we’re going to emphasize that. The previous week, we used our time in Uruguay to play four friendlies where we wanted to gain more football rhythm, get to know each other better, and the work in these next three weeks ahead is focused on the fluidity of play, on those partnerships that are forming, on giving continuity, and preparing in the best way possible for the match against Madryn.

Yes, ultimately the situation was strange. He came, showed up, worked with us in a differentiated way because in the afternoon he was going to have his medical check-up. During that time, there was a call and the player decided to take another path. Well, sometimes things happen for a reason. Here, with every call we've made to wear the Colón shirt, they came with conviction, with a determination that we see as key, and if the player felt otherwise, that’s his own personal situation.

Yes, we’re working very well. I feel that in the week we've been working on getting physically ready, which we emphasized in previous weeks, it went well. This week, as I said, we’re gaining not just in football terms but also getting good playing time. I think we left with good feelings from the Uruguay tour and now we’re going deeper, also staying alert to the transfer market because we’re seeing if we can close deals in specific positions where we want to keep strengthening.

So, ultimately, what is clear is that with Talpón leaving, we’re looking for a box-to-box midfielder, an attacking midfielder in the middle zone, and we’re looking for a left-sided center-back, preferably left-footed. Diego Colotto is working in the market.

No, ultimately no, as we’ve already seen, until they sign, there’s no need for Rasmussen to come here. Until they sign, he’s one of the options. The reality is he’s an option, just like there are three names the board is working on, and one of them is Rasmussen.

Look, tomorrow we’re going to play two 70-minute matches, so we’re going to get a good amount of football, and then we’ll coordinate with the coaches, talking with Darío Forestello, with whom I have a very good relationship, to see if we can arrange something and go to Paraná to play.

Yes, yes, obviously you always want a bit more, but maybe the market didn’t allow it. The management, together with Diego Colotto, have done their best within the economic possibilities and what the market offers. But yes, we’re satisfied with the way we’re working and, as I said, fine-tuning in specific positions that remain to finish shaping the squad.
