Lértora on Colón’s secret to success: “We’ll find our best form by playing” | OneFootball

After Sabalero’s solid debut in the Primera Nacional, Federico Lértora, a key figure in the midfield, shared his perspective on a victory that brings relief and hope. With the authority granted by his experience in Santa Fe, the midfielder made it clear that this is only the first step on a journey that requires patience and constant evolution.

Personality for the Debut

For the midfielder, breaking the ice with three points was an absolute priority to calm the atmosphere and strengthen the group. “Starting off by winning, and winning well, was fundamental,” stated Lértora, who appreciated how the team handled the pressure of a packed stadium. In his view, the collective response to the challenge was remarkable: “Today, we didn’t deserve to start any other way. The team showed personality to play, fight, and compete.”

In Search of Collective Identity

Beyond the result, Lértora’s tactical analysis was straightforward. The midfielder understands that the team’s ceiling is still far off and that the rhythm will come as the matches go by: “We’ll find our best version by playing.”

He highlighted the defensive solidity and the intelligence to strike at the right moments, attributing the tactical order to the work done during the week. “There was a compact team in all lines and good partnerships. That’s the result of hard work,” he explained, though he’s not satisfied and warned that there is still “a tremendous margin for improvement” ahead.

Commitment as the Engine of Promotion

His continued presence at the club was no coincidence; Lértora showed himself to be aligned with the current structure of the club and the seriousness of the new process. But above all, he focused on the unity in the locker room: “There’s a group that started, another that finished the match, and another that pushes from the outside. With everyone’s commitment, important things can be achieved.”

A Long-Haul Tournament

Looking ahead, the “Lion” of the midfield called for calm and consistency, knowing that the Primera Nacional isn’t won in the first few rounds, but in the final stretch. “The fans’ hope is the same as what we feel, but we have to learn to enjoy each day,” he reflected cautiously.

To conclude, he outlined the definitive roadmap for returning to the top division:
