Perugini warns before facing Colón: "We know what we want" | OneFootball

In statements to LT10, San Telmo’s head coach, Marcelo Perugini, analyzed the imminent clash against Colón de Santa Fe. Far from being intimidated by the opponent’s stature, the coach of the “Candombero” anticipated an ambitious approach for the match at Isla Maciel.

“We are very clear about what we are looking for. We take into account Colón’s strengths and the areas where we believe we can hurt them,” said the coach, outlining the roadmap for the match. In that sense, he emphasized the importance of playing at home to set the tone: “We have to defend with the ball and, above all, go after the opponent. We are in our stadium and we feel the need to go out and seek the game; we want a match where Colón feels uncomfortable.”

Regarding his team’s inconsistent performance in recent games, Perugini was self-critical and pointed out the footballing ceiling they aim to reach: “The draw against San Miguel was something good and positive, but we have to show a different image, the one we showed in the first half against Acassuso. That time we were superior and were close to the version we want, we still owe it to ourselves to maintain that rhythm and superiority.”

On another note, the strategist dispelled doubts about the condition of the Osvaldo Baletto Stadium pitch: “The pitch has been improving, it was reseeded and, from what I understand, it will be in good condition for the week.”

Finally, the coach spoke about two players with a past or direct connection to the Sabalero who are now part of his squad. On the progress of the young Enrico, he highlighted: “Enrico joined us in 2024 and has been developing very well, he’s had the necessary matches. We are happy with him and always look for him to keep growing.” He also praised the quality of Facundo Roncaglia in the back line:
