Lértora after Colón draw: «Frustrated not to win at home and end this run» | OneFootball

The Sabalero midfielder analyzed Colón’s current situation after the 0-0 draw against Bolívar in Santa Fe, acknowledging the frustration the squad is carrying from not being able to take all three points.

The frustration over the streak and the team’s mood

The midfielder admitted the annoyance caused by a run of four matches without a win and the loss of ground in the standings: “It creates discomfort, it creates frustration because we want to be higher up, because we believe and feel that we’ve done many things to deserve that.” Despite this situation, the player firmly ruled out any psychological issue within the group: “We’re not in a bad place mentally either. The team is doing well, working well, putting in a huge effort, and we just haven’t been able to score. The team is hurting, it’s fired up, we’re upset because we haven’t been able to win at home.”

How the match unfolded and the lack of goals

Regarding the tactical flow of the match, Lértora explained how the game changed as the minutes went by: “We had some great stretches, especially in the first half, and we couldn’t score. In the second half, the opponent dropped back, and that’s when it became harder for us to create clear chances.” He also blamed the current lack of finishing on a rough spell: “Unfortunately, we’re having a hard time scoring. We create a lot, they hit the crossbar, they clear them off the goalkeeper, they clear them off the line, and well, sometimes these things come in streaks. We have to keep pushing.”

The challenge of the upcoming away matches

Looking ahead, the midfielder is already focused on preparing to turn things around away from home in the next match: “Starting tomorrow, we have to get our minds set and begin working for Saturday’s match against Defensores, where we’ll have the chance to win, to win away from home.” The player concluded on an upbeat note about the run of matches coming up in Buenos Aires, describing it as “a challenge and a great opportunity to end this winless drought.”
