Conrado Ibarra: “This is something I’ve dreamed of since I was a kid” | OneFootball

The words of Conrado Ibarra after scoring his first goal for Colón in the 1-1 draw against Ferro

It was something I dreamed of since I was little, ever since I was in the little school here at this club, but well, there's also that bittersweet taste, I would have liked to secure the victory here at home, to get the three points. We know that all the people of Colón want to win, but well, I think we made a significant effort and we just have to keep working. Regarding the position, it was a position I already knew.

Since I was little, I was a midfielder and then I moved back, but during the preseason, Ezequiel placed me well in that position, and little by little, he gives me the tools every day to improve my game. It's a bonus to play here with our people, but I think the match against Central Norte (0:48) we didn't play poorly. In the first half, as we said too, (0:52) we were the better team throughout the match in my opinion.

Yes, there weren't many goal situations, but we were positioned and went for it in the end. It's a privilege to be here, I know I have to be prepared for any moment, for when it's my turn. It's a huge responsibility to wear this jersey, so I know it well, I have it clear, I have to be prepared.

Honestly, today was something I dreamed of since I was little, my whole family from Colón. So, well, I'm happy, but also with that bittersweet taste like Ezequiel, he always pushes me forward, gives me that confidence any player needs to do well. And well, it makes me very happy.

I didn't know about what was being said, but well, if that's the case, it makes me very happy and gives me more desire to keep going for more. Well, I dedicate the first goal to my old man who's not here, who was my Colón poison boy, but I know that wherever he is, he must be happy, Chocho, so it's for him.
