Medero and Agoglia on ADN Gol: “Colón must regain its identity and pride” | OneFootball

The candidates for sports directors from the Sangre de Campeones group visited the ADN GOL studios and this is what they said about the future.

Look, when we talk to him, we do so because we found his profile very interesting and the data he brought in terms of results were very, very good. So, well, we started chatting. First, we talked to him, then we talked to Carlos Mayor.

In Buenos Aires, I also met with Carlos Mayor because I find him a very interesting coach. And it turns out that the gesture Ezequiel had towards us, after the meeting he had with the current management, he called me to tell me he was going to take over at Colón. So, nothing, but we are constantly, I am talking to him, messaging, so we have been working since he took over the future Colón.

It's not like, on December first, what are you going to do? No, we have been working with him for a while now.

We have always been attentive, and above all always thinking about the team. We always look at the team, we always message with Nelson, talk about the sports aspect. He would go to Buenos Aires to see it, I here in Santa Fe.

We have always been expectant about that. With this project of technical direction, the Sports Secretariat, what concerns us. So always working towards… In the last election, Colón was still in the first division, and it was a project for the club to stay, to make it grow, to qualify for a cup each year, which gives you a plus.

How? Well, putting together a competitive team, an intense, running, fighting team, which is the category, you know? With current names, not bringing players who come without continuity. And we are working on that, planning with Ezequiel for some time. But our only goal, in our minds, is promotion.

So, well, nothing. Also recovering a bit of the identity, for Colón to regain its identity, that sense of belonging. That the fan feels identified with the team.

I think that's the most important thing. And then, starting from what base. Today I didn't start from any base.

Because sometimes you say, well, we tweak a little. Not today, today we have to build a completely new squad.

No, no. All the talks are about achieving the goal. All the talks are about that. It's Colón.

It's Colón. He told us, yes, that when he was hired by Colón, he was in negotiations with another club, a Chilean club. But this in the end, no.

And we also know that it might come from Leskovich's side, who manages many players. Yes, yes, yes. He also manages the club.

So we know how the matter is. Good people. This is football.

Anyway, this is football. So we have to be prepared for everything. Look, we were just talking about that a little while ago.

Everyone tells you promotion. The goal is promotion. To ascend, to ascend.

It's the catchphrase you will hear today, that everyone will promise. (6:50) The issue is what you do on day one. Let's get to the more earthly.

Because promotion, let's say, is more than a year away and it's something that's far, let's say, on the horizon. But what you do on day one is the question. And we already have day one won because we have been working for two months with the same coach, with the one who is there, with the one who will continue.

And we have already won day one. Yes, we are already prepared. He beats Ricardo on Sunday the 30th and we already make official all the talks we had on Monday because we are talking, but until we are in government, you can't make any decisions.
