Ezequiel Medrán: "We need to be more clinical, it's a team effort" | OneFootball

After the 1-1 draw against Ferro, Colón’s coach, Ezequiel Medrán, analyzed the team’s performance and emphasized the attitude shown despite adversity: “I highlight the character and bravery, we had to replace Marcioni, we missed the penalty, then came their goal. Always at a disadvantage, the team showed significant character. I take away positive things; at the start of this championship, the team gave a display of character and good intentions. The substitutions gave us a very good option, and they did it very well.”

On the other hand, he referred to the development of the match and the work done during the 90 minutes: “We were a solid team during stretches of the game. Today we created chances, we made a great effort in the first half and didn’t get the reward of a goal to be able to manage the match better. But we had clear chances, Ferro plays really well, I think we controlled them from a football standpoint. If we have to look for a negative, it’s that we didn’t get the win. Monetti appeared at key moments in the match, I’d be worried if we weren’t creating chances—credit to the opponent, and we need to be more effective, it’s a collective job.”

He also said: “Regarding the break, I have an almost entirely new squad, we’ll look to work on all aspects. We lost a mark and that ended in a goal, it hurts that the goal came from a set piece.”

Finally, Medrán highlighted the support from the fans and the need to maintain a competitive identity: “We have to be able to assimilate situations, today there was recognition from the people, the team gave everything and the fans recognized that. Colón’s supporters are demanding and today they were there the whole time, I value that, the effort. This is a new story we’ve just started, and we have to show, match by match, the team’s intentions to compete. My teams always seek to be protagonists, no matter the field, with respect. Against Central Norte we lacked in the offensive zone and today we were able to solve that.”
