Ignacio Lago after draw with Estudiantes: match analysis and staying put | OneFootball

Colón striker and star player Ignacio Lago made a statement that will go down well in the Sabalero world after the 1-1 draw against Estudiantes de Buenos Aires. The forward confirmed that next Tuesday he will sign his contract renewal with Sabalero.

After the match played in Caseros, the red-and-black “10” and goalscorer analyzed the game, regretted how the win slipped away, and also spoke about his future with the club.

“We dropped the intensity and let our guard down, and they punished us for it. It was similar to what happened at Los Andes; unconsciously, we sat back,” Lago said.

The forward also stressed the demands that come with wearing the Sabalero shirt in the Primera Nacional: “We understand that we’re at the biggest club in the division, one that demands that you go out to win wherever you play.”

Speaking about the second half, the player felt the team managed to settle in better as the minutes went by. “They came out with more energy at the start, then they faded and that gave us the chance to play a bit more,” he said.

Ignacio Lago will stay at Colón

Beyond the football analysis, the big news came when Lago confirmed that his future at Colón is practically assured.

“I spoke with him (José Alonso), and he told me we’d meet during the week. God willing, everything is done and I’ll sign on Tuesday,” the striker revealed.

He also made it clear that his wish was always to remain at the red-and-black club: “It’s what I wanted. I’ve always said since the beginning of the year that I wanted to stay. We looked for what would benefit both sides. I want to give back for what Colón gave me.”

The player will extend his deal until December 2027.
