Medrán previews the clash with Acassuso and discusses the team's progress | OneFootball

Ezequiel Medrán discussed the team's current state, the upcoming Saturday's opponent, and the search for attacking partnerships. He also confirmed absences and the physical condition of some players.

The Sabalero coach acknowledged that the squad is still in the process of building, although he emphasized that the team is finding its rhythm as the matches progress. “We are in that phase of continuing to grow. There is a new squad and a daily commitment to what we are working on,” he explained.

The search for attacking partnerships

One of the points Medrán highlighted was the search for offensive options to support Bonansea in attack. During the week, the coaching staff tested different alternatives. “We have tried with Godoy, with Lucas Cano. We are looking for alternatives to find the best partnership in offense and for the team to connect better in attack.” According to him, the goal is for these connections to appear as the matches and playing minutes progress.

Analysis of Acassuso

Regarding the next opponent, he highlighted Acassuso's strong start in the tournament and the performance they have maintained since their promotion. “They have been working very well at the start of the tournament, winning all three matches they played with authority and are a solid team.” Medrán explained that Colón must be attentive to the spaces and moments of the match. “We have to defend well, occupy the spaces, and then, when we have the ball, seek that fluidity and the partnerships we have been working on.”

The team's current moment

He evaluated the start of the tournament and the team's first three matches. He recalled the victory against Madryn in the debut, the draw in Salta, and the last match against Ferro. “Against Madryn, we won with authority. In Salta, we showed a solid defensive team, and against Ferro, we were superior, although we couldn't reflect it in the result.”

In this regard, he stated that the team still has room for growth. “We are in that search to adjust. The margin for improvement is there, and we want to be a reliable and competitive team.”

Absences and doubts for the match

Regarding the lineup for Saturday, he confirmed some absences and left open the situation of another player. He assured that Marcioni and Godoy will not be available, while the presence of Allende is still in doubt.

“Allende had a discomfort during the week, and we are evaluating him. Tomorrow we will surely have more clarity,” he explained.

Colón will host Acassuso next Saturday, a team that remains undefeated and with a perfect score.
