Why Colón reveal their squad just hours before kick-off | OneFootball

Ezequiel Medrán has the habit of calling his football players to gather either for home games or for travel with enough time in advance; but what's striking and at the same time curious is that the list of summoned players must be announced by the club, by express order of the coach, SIX HOURS BEFORE THE START OF EACH MATCH.

Thus, for example, ahead of the match on Sunday at 3:30 PM in Remedios de Escalada, against Talleres; the Colón delegation is summoned for this Saturday morning to train. There will be a final practice, a review of set pieces, then lunch, and immediately after, the trip (after noon) heading to Buenos Aires.

Medrán authorizes the press department of the Centenario neighborhood club to let people know who has been called up (they have already traveled and are gathered from the day before) around 10 in the morning on the same Sunday. And we are not talking about the starting lineup and substitutes. Not at all. Just the list of travelers.

This is undoubtedly a new way of innovating by the young coach. It is not very clear whether it is for superstition or a strategy to surprise opponents, which he has adopted since the day he arrived in the city of Santa Fe as the new coach. So far, in three matches under his leadership, the rojinegro has drawn with Chacarita and lost to Defensores de Belgrano and Estudiantes de Rio Cuarto.
