Medrán after heavy defeat: "I'm trying to build defensive solidity" | OneFootball

Colón suffered another blow, this time at the Juan Pasquale Stadium with a 1-0 defeat against Defensores de Belgrano. This loss means that the Sabalero can forget about the Reducido as they have no mathematical chances, and now they must focus on not losing the category since they are 9 points behind CADU.

After the match, Ezequiel Medrán spoke to the press and expressed his concern: «We come from a home draw, with merits to win. But today was different, they took advantage of the set piece. We tried to create a goal, but there weren't many clear chances. The way the match was going, it was a goal-wins game«.

Then, he stated: «I'm trying to find defensive solidity, we are trying to achieve that. During the week, we felt we worked well, but today they scored on us with a set piece, we expected much more«.

Later, he said: «When I was called to be here, the objective was clear, to maintain the category. I have the conviction with the players I have, I have to prepare them in the best way physically. We have to win, but for that, we have to prepare the matches better«.

Finally, he pointed out: «We have to accept the situation we are in, stay alert. Not to fall into desperation as it can affect us, but we must accept the situation. In the immediate future, we want to have the functioning we desire. We have a big challenge ahead«.
