This is how Deportivo Morón shape up to face Colón at the Brigadier | OneFootball

Xiomara Grande, journalist from Morón, spoke with ADN GOL about the current situation of Gallito ahead of Sunday’s match against Colón here in Santa Fe at 5:00 PM.

Well, Morón is traveling on Saturday to visit Colón this weekend with two absences, as you may already know: one is the goalkeeper, and the other is Santiago Cubisin, who reached his fifth yellow card.

Yes, Morón had been repeating the same team, same eleven, for the last three matches, so now they’re forced to make changes. In place of Leandro Finochieto, Julio Salvá will step in, as he’s now recovered, and Santiago Cubicín is one of those who reached his fifth yellow card. So, looking at the substitutes OTTA has, and since he’s made that change at other times, the one who might come in is Emiliano Franco moving positions and Juan Manuel Olivares being added.

Yes, Morón still has a chance to be a finalist, but as Walter OTA said the other day, they should have won those last four matches to be in a good position to reach the final.

Unfortunately, they wasted the match—two home games ago, Morón played against Temperley and lost at the end, which I don’t think they deserved; they probably deserved more. And in the match against Estudiantes, it slipped away from them. Those were key moments, says Morón, who had been very strong at home.

Yes, absolutely, because you never know. Lately, Morón has become a tough opponent for anyone to face, especially considering Colón’s current situation. I suppose it must not be easy to prepare for a match against Morón given their present form. But I think anything can happen; we don’t know, especially playing away. You might say, well, Colón is coming off three consecutive losses, they’re lower in the standings, but sometimes those teams can surprise you and take away your chance to reach the final if you’re fighting at the top. But I think Morón now—I'm not saying they’ve lost all hope of being finalists, but they should aim to position themselves as best as possible for the playoff stage.

Well, there have been many matches where they haven’t left very happy, where Morón has been disadvantaged in several games. Obviously, that’s not an excuse, as the coach tries to point out, but they have suffered many expulsions, which is also due to their behavior. It’s a serious mistake, a major difficulty for OTTA’s team.

Even though they have the squad and have managed to solidify it, they still struggle with red cards. For example, Cubiciner, who now misses this weekend’s match after reaching his fifth yellow, has been sent off twice; Jonathan Berón as well. Morón has had 11 expulsions in this tournament—the team with the most red cards.

Yes, look, for me and from what we’ve seen, I’d say Jair González is a key player on the team. The strikers, well, in these last few games Constantino hasn’t been able to score, but Jair González is a key player.

In addition to the absences of Finocchieto and Cubisin, Mariano Bittolo—ironically a former Colón player—and Gastón González will also be out due to injury.

Julio Salvá, Juan Manuel Cabrera, Franco Lorenzón, Joaquín Libera, Franco Vázquez or Emiliano Laza, Juan Manuel Olivares, Pablo Ferreira, Jair González, Emiliano Franco, Fabrizio Zanninetti, and Ivo Constantino would be OTTA’s starting eleven.
