Colón’s tactical doubts before facing Ferro: is Antonio back? | OneFootball

The squad completed its final training session in the city this Wednesday and is already in Buenos Aires ahead of a crucial clash. This Friday at 7:30 p.m., El Sabalero will visit the competition leaders, Ferro Carril Oeste. To fine-tune the final details of the strategy, the Santa Fe side will train in the afternoon at the facility Independiente owns in Villa Domínico.

During the formal football practice held before traveling, the coaching staff made a surprising shake-up and tested tactical variations. The starting lineup was made up of: Peinipil, Rasmussen, Olmedo and Allende; Marcioni, Antonio, Lertora and Lago; Sarmiento and Bonansea. Compared to the eleven that beat Central Norte, the only change in the starting side was the return of Antonio — who served his suspension for yellow cards — in place of Matías Muñoz.

However, the tactical drill did not end there. As the minutes went by, the head coach tested a major change of direction by bringing on García for Lago and Muñoz for Sarmiento. These changes completely reshaped the structure on the pitch, shifting the formation to a clear five-man midfield, an alternative designed especially to counter the leaders’ strength in Caballito.
