Lértora: I want to help Colón return to the top flight | OneFootball

The midfielder spoke about his return to the club, his bond with the fans, and the team’s current situation at the start of the tournament.

One of the most notable returns to the squad was that of Federico Lértora, who came back to the club where he was captain and champion, and he assured that his decision was shaped by the bond he maintains with the institution and the fans.

“I am where I want to be. The context is not the same as during my previous spell, but I am eager to help achieve the goal we all share: to return to Primera.”

He explained that his decision to return to the club was not only about sports or financial reasons, but also about what Colón represents in his career. “Beyond the division or the economic aspect, there are other things at stake. I am very grateful to the club, and I have a lot of respect and affection for it.”

He also pointed out that the current challenge is different from what he experienced in his previous stint, but emphasized that the goal is to build a new story. “What was achieved was something very beautiful, but this is a new stage. We have to work to write a new story,” he stated.

The team’s start

Regarding the first few matches, the midfielder considered that the team has been showing positive signs, although he acknowledged that some points were left along the way. “I think the start is good. Of course, we would like to have more points, especially because of the match against Ferro, which we couldn’t win,” he analyzed.

He stressed that the team must become strong when playing in Santa Fe. “At home, we have to make the three points count. On Saturday, we have a good opportunity to get back to winning,” he said.

How the division is played

Lértora also spoke about the division and the demands of competing in the Primera Nacional. “It’s a tough and long division. The team needs to have character, perseverance, and intelligence to adapt to the moments of the match.” He maintained that Colón must take the lead without losing sight of the particularities of the championship. “Just because we are Colón doesn’t mean we’re going to win every match 3-0. I wish. But we do have to be protagonists, understand the moments, and know when to play, when to fight, and when to suffer.”
