Four days before Colón’s debut against Deportivo Madryn, the Sabalero squad trained on Tuesday morning at the June 4th complex, and coach Ezequiel Medrán gave concrete hints regarding the starting lineup for the debut.

After the practice, one of the players who spoke to the press was midfielder Ignacio Antonio, who discussed and praised the squad that has been assembled to face the competition.

Ignacio Antonio’s Expectations

“There’s just a little time left until the debut, we had an intense preseason and I’m really eager for the tournament to start. Ezequiel hasn’t confirmed the team yet, but I hope I get to be in it,” he began by saying.

When asked about his partnership with Matías Muñoz, he said: “Mati and I played together all last tournament, with just a look we already know what the other is thinking, and that’s great. But we have to wait for Ezequiel to confirm the team.”

Regarding the coach’s intentions, he shared: “He really looks for intensity, high pressing to be protagonists, and we are working on that style of play.”

“Colón has a very balanced squad in every position and that boosts individual performance. A great squad has been put together to fight at the top, and the only goal is promotion,” the midfielder stated.

At another point in the conversation, Antonio commented: “The fans’ anxiety is understandable, but the reality is that there could be long matches, and we have to work through them, because all the opponents are very evenly matched.”

Finally, the player affirmed: “Colón has to get promoted, I came here with that in mind and I reaffirmed it. Colón is a huge club in Argentina and the people make you feel it. That pressure is good for daily motivation.”
