Medrán on Colón: Focused on rhythm and teamwork before Madryn | OneFootball

The head coach spoke at a press conference after practice and addressed several topics, focusing on building the squad and what's coming up ahead of the debut in Primera Nacional.

We continue to deepen the team's functioning; this week we’re going to focus on that. Last week, we used our time in Uruguay to play four friendlies where we wanted to gain more football volume, get to know each other better, and the work in these next three weeks ahead is focused on the fluidity of the game, on those partnerships that are forming, on giving them continuity, and preparing in the best way possible for the match against Madryn.

Yes, ultimately the situation was strange. He came, showed up, worked with us separately because in the afternoon he was going to have his medical examination. During that process, there was a call and the player decided to go another way. Well, sometimes things happen for a reason. Here, every time we’ve called someone to wear the Colón shirt, they came with conviction, with determination, which we see as key. And well, if the player felt differently, that’s his individual situation.

Yes, we’re working very well. I feel that in the week we've been working on getting physically ready, which we really emphasized in previous weeks, it went well. This week, as I said, we’re gaining good match practice, I think we came away with good feelings from the tour in Uruguay, and now we’re going deeper, also keeping an eye on the transfer market because we’re seeing if we can close deals in specific areas where we want to keep strengthening.

Look, ultimately what’s clear is that, with Talpón leaving, we’re looking for a box-to-box midfielder, an attacking midfielder in the middle, we’re looking for a left-sided center back, preferably left-footed, and well, Diego Colotto is working in the market.

No, ultimately no, as we’ve already seen, until they sign, there’s no need for Rasmussen to come here. Until they sign, he’s one of the options, the reality is he’s an option, just as there are three names the board is working on, and one of those is Rasmussen.

Look, tomorrow we’re going to play two 70-minute matches, so we’ll get a good amount of football, and then we’ll coordinate with the coaches, talking to Darío Forestelo, with whom I have a very good relationship, to see if we can arrange to go to Paraná to play.

Yes, yes, obviously you always want something more that maybe the market didn’t allow us. The management, together with Diego Colotto, have done their utmost within the economic possibilities and what the market offers, but yes, we’re satisfied with the way we’re working and, as I said, adjusting in specific positions that remain to finish shaping the squad.
