Medrán: "The end of the season was an uphill struggle" | OneFootball

After the goalless draw against Deportivo Morón at Brigadier López, Colón's coach, Ezequiel Medrán, spoke at a press conference and shared several reflections on the present and immediate future of the team.

The coach began by stating: “We had the chances, not the clarity to allow us to win, but I highlight the team's work. It was important to finish this stage, from now on we have to look inward, a deep analysis of what the whole year was and have clarity on the construction of Colón for the next year, we will see how we approach these remaining two matches. Today was a very important game, we are looking for the best to compete, we are in that search. Today the team was organized and neutralized its opponent, we aim for much more”.

Regarding the period he has been in charge, he added: “In my mind, the reality is the seven matches I came to work on. Everything has been uphill at the end of this championship, we are developing an intention, but we can't have that marked DNA, we need more time to work, we are aware that time is scarce. There are two matches ahead and we want to finish them well, then we will analyze everything to see how we move forward. To be a competitive team, we need to correct some issues”.

He also highlighted the commitment of his players in a complex moment: “The moment is not easy, it is not easy to compete right now, but I highlight the team's character, with commitment and will”.

When asked about some absences, he clarified: “Gigliotti's absence was a tactical, technical decision. With Pulga, I have direct contact, he was called up beforehand, but yesterday he felt discomfort, so we decided he wouldn't be present”.

Finally, he described how he found the group after the match: “I found the locker room silent, hurt. It's the silence of a locker room that has gone through a difficult year, it's a true and real pain. Everyone feels it, both young and old, at this moment it's not about finding blame, but supporting each other”
