‘Tato’ Enrique: Ex-players to support Colón in final home game | OneFootball

Marcelo "Tato" Enrique, former player of Colón, took to the microphone of Radio GOL 96.7 to discuss the initiative he has alongside Adrián "Chupete" Marini and other names that have passed through the red and black history. The idea is to provide support to the club in the run-up to the match with Defensores Unidos de Zárate.

"I came up with this idea because maybe this new generation, our children and now me as a grandfather, our grandson, they are still kids but they don't know, they don't know... They have experienced mostly the good part of Colón, where there was promotion, where there was a championship, where there was a South American Libertadores Cup, maybe they never suffered what we suffered, first as players and then as fans, in that way what we wanted is through the players to say, hey, from the ex-guys, we went through this, maybe we know that the fan is very bad, we are very sad about the campaign, but well, also know that we went through it and well, it is a way to give back to the institution the support, the gratitude". And he added: "Let them know that also after the ugly, the beautiful inevitably comes".

How the idea came about

"We said, hey, why don't we make a move? Why don't we make a symbolic hug? We wanted to make a preliminary match, but well, the AFA has many turns, it has to open the field earlier, the UTEDyC people, well, it's a move... so, we chose to come out with a banner where there is a phrase"

Some of the former players who will participate besides Tato and Chupete: Víctor “Carucha” Müller, Cristian Castillo and Maximiliano Cincunegui, Daniel Mozas, Juanjo Ferrer, Abel "Toro" Blasón among others.

Enrique concluded with: "The last home game of Colón, we are going to enter the field with that phrase that we are seeing there and well, with the objective of simply letting them know that we are here, for whatever, the former player will always be grateful to the institution".
