Ezequiel Medrán’s Colón rebuilds from the back forward | OneFootball

With the assumption of the new leadership, Colón began to organize key issues and outline the sports project for the upcoming season. The arrival of Diego Colotto as manager marked a turning point: he is the direct link with Ezequiel Medrán and works closely in forming the team.

Within this renewal process, a clear trend emerges: the new Colón is being built from the back to the front. Although alternatives are being explored in all lines, the first concrete moves aim to strengthen the backline, a sector that was one of the team's major weaknesses last season (it was the fourth most scored against).

Medrán's Colón is built from the back to the front

In this regard, left-back Leandro Allende has already been introduced, the first new face of the cycle. In the coming hours, goalkeeper Matías Budiño will join, for whom Colón moved decisively, and the arrival of central midfielder Ignacio Antonio is also very close to being finalized, envisioned as a balancing piece in the midfield.

But the search doesn't stop there. The management, together with Medrán and Colotto, is negotiating for another defensive midfielder and a central defender, two positions that the coaching staff considers priorities to give the team solidity.

The defensive fragility that Colón showed in the last tournament left a clear picture, and Medrán is aware of it. Therefore, the new project aims to correct from the base: strengthen the defense, gain security, and from there, build a competitive team that regains confidence and consistency. The chosen path is already marked and clearly starts from the back.
