Ezequiel Medrán: Building a competitive Colón on solid foundations | OneFootball

Ezequiel Medrán, whose continuation as Colón’s coach depends on the outcome of the November 30 elections, outlined what the future of Sabalero should look like in order to become a competitive team from a sporting perspective.

In a conversation with journalist Adriel Driussi, Colón’s head coach began by speaking about his brief tenure. “We had to take over in the final stretch of the tournament, with a team that was down, with no chance of fighting for the playoffs. Even so, we believed we could end the year differently. It was all very much an uphill battle.”

Regarding the group, he recalled that “a lot of things were being said, but I didn’t find anything strange. The players were down, lacking confidence, and it showed. Emotions weigh heavily in football and Colón suffered because of it.”

On the other hand, Medrán assured that “at Colón you need to have personality. The fans are passionate, they live this with intensity. During the week the atmosphere was good, but on match day you could feel the tension. It’s part of what it means to coach here.”

Finally, with the elections just around the corner, the coach conveyed that “having good players is not enough. You need a solid structure, a shared project between the coaching staff, management, and all areas of the club.”
