Rodolfo De Paoli on his time at Colón: "I never expected so much politics" | OneFootball

Rodolfo De Paoli reflected on his time at Colón and assured that he did not imagine "there was so much political atmosphere".

In a conversation with Clank, Juan Pablo Varsky's channel, De Paoli recalled that he was at Colón for "nothing, 36 days". And he elaborated: "but these are moments when you have to know when to enter and when to exit. It's a devil when they come to get you from Colón and they tell you: 'come on, Colón wants to ascend and out of the last eleven matches, they won one'. And I arrived, out of the first four we won two and, however, it was a pressure cooker".

He also remembered that "there was a very tense microclimate, what Colón is experiencing, I began to chew on in its beginnings. I never imagined that there was so much political atmosphere. It was madness: poor the players and the coaches who passed through".

"Osella passed, Minella who as he was interim, won a match and they put him, lost five and they fired him. Pereyra passed who set it up, started well and lost five matches in a row and they fired him", he continued.

And he added: "'No but let's bring Yllana who was the last champion and they fired him. And it went even worse for him than for us. And then Medrán came, played four matches and didn't win any, lost three. Colón is madness".

On the other hand, he talked about the power of the Santa Fe press. "At a local level, it's like managing Boca or River. You go out to the corner and they already know who you went out with, if you had coffee, the training. It was tremendous. It's a very big club, they have to agree among themselves".
