Ignacio Lago's brutal verdict: 'We lacked everything, I'm fuming' | OneFootball

After Colón’s tough setback at Isla Maciel, Ignacio Lago didn’t beat around the bush. The midfielder delivered a scathing analysis of the team’s performance, admitting there was a lack of “play, clarity, and creativity” and that Sabalero was never able to impose its conditions against San Telmo.

Unfiltered Self-Criticism

Lago was blunt in his assessment of the team’s collective performance: “Everything was missing,” he stated, highlighting the team’s inability to generate passing circuits and offensive connections. He also acknowledged that the opponent outmatched them physically: “In the 50-50s, they were always a step ahead of us.”

Struggles in Creation

The midfielder explained that the flow of the match prevented him from fulfilling his usual role as a playmaker. “For what I can contribute, which is composure and playmaking, the match didn’t help,” Lago noted, who only found some space in the second half, though he was unable to change the outcome of the game.

The Away Game Shortfall

One of the main concerns for the squad is the difference in performance when playing away. For the number 10, the key is to maintain the same identity on any pitch: “We have to go out and play the same way everywhere.” Visibly affected by the result, he added: “I’m leaving very upset, first because I don’t like losing and second because of the way we lost.”

Future and Contract

Beyond football matters, Lago spoke about negotiations to extend his contract with the club, confirming that talks with management are progressing well. “My relationship with them is very good; we always look for what’s best for Colón and for me,” he concluded.
