In an interview with Radio GOL 96.7 FM, the president of Colón, José Alonso, highlighted the support of the fans as the driving force of his management. He described the current atmosphere as “a positive tsunami” that lifted the club out of inertia, reflected in a massive renewal of subscriptions and memberships.
For Alonso, seeing the commitment of the people has been motivating. “The club was struggling, even we were disheartened. Today we see families, kids, people returning with enthusiasm, and that is moving,” he expressed about the current state of the institution.
Regarding the leadership, the president advocates for a horizontal and diverse structure. “There is young blood and also people from the old guard. That combination is healthy,” he stated, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a serious project without falling into personalism. The president valued the resilience of the Sabalero fans in this reconstruction process.
He stated, “Colón is a club that always reacts. It’s wonderful. It has shown it many times and has shown it again now,” after exceeding expectations in the demand for membership cards and seats.
Finally, Alonso was critical of the outgoing transition and the lack of gestures from the previous management. Regarding Víctor Godano, he noted that he would expect him to learn to say “sorry” and “thank you,” terms he considers essential for the coexistence and future of the club.
