The team's start

Of course, we would like to have more points, especially because of the match with Ferro that we couldn’t win.”, he analyzed.

He emphasized that the team must be strong when playing in Santa Fe. “At home, we have to make the three points count. On Saturday, we have a good opportunity to return to victory.”.

How the category is played

Lértora also spoke about the category and the demands of competing in the national first division. “It is a tough and long category. The team must have character, perseverance, and intelligence to adapt to the moments of the match.” He stated that Colón must take on a leading role without losing sight of the championship's particularities. “Just because we are Colón doesn’t mean we will win every match 3-0. Hopefully. But we do have to be protagonists, understand the moments, and know when to play, when to fight, and when to endure.”.
