Colón started the week of returning to activity, since on Sunday he will visit Defensores Unidos, in Zárate, on the first date of the second round. It will be one of the away games that they will have to play in this restart of the tournament, since after hosting Atlanta, on the second date, they will have to play two consecutive away games, against Almirante Brown and Patronato.
One of the issues to be resolved by the coach is the suspension of Javier Toledo, who reached the limit of warnings. In this regard, he has two possibilities. One is to place another forward in his place (it could be Axel Rodríguez or Leguizamón); The other is to bet on Guille as the forward man and play with Bernardi or Sabella as a hook.
By the way, against Deportivo Madryn there was a tactical touch-up, since they played for the first time with the Prediger-Vega duo and Talpone was a little higher. Surely, this will not be the case against CADU and Talpone will return to the double five position, while Delfino will decide whether to put Bernardi, Sabella or Guille as a backup to play “behind the 9”.
In the sector where there is no doubt is in the defense, since if there are no problems, with Vicentini in goal and with Herrera, Lopes, Goltz and Castet, the red and black coach recites from memory the men in charge of having the greatest responsibility in the recovery of the ball.
Another issue that Delfino will review is the case of Jourdan, who lost the title in the last game. He had a poor performance, but during several games he became one of the best players on the team, to the point of being, after Lago, one of the scorers. Nor has Delgadillo had performances that encourage any expectation of maintaining ownership.
In the match with the southerners, in Madryn, Delfino played with Delgadillo on the left and ran Lago to the right sector. In any case, and beyond the ugly match that both rivals played in Madryn, Lago’s play on the right did not have the same gravitation as playing on the left. Likewise, he was the protagonist of the clearest scoring play that Colón had, which was a one-on-one with Lago, in the first half, which ended up finishing with his left foot and into the goalkeeper’s hands.
As for the rival, with 20 points in 19 days, Zárate’s team finished the first round of the tournament in fifteenth place. “The balance is negative, we had the hope of finishing higher in the table, but this continues and we have time to reverse the situation,” said Matías Nizzo, one of the players on Zárate’s team who has gone seven games without achieving a victory.
On the other hand, Coqui referred to the idea of the game that the coaching staff headed by Darío Lema tries to promote. “He tries to instill in us that we are an offensive team, that we always look at the rival goal,” he said.
This weekend the First National championship had a stoppage, so there were no official matches in the category. “It was good for us to recover injured players, and recharge our batteries for the second round, which is going to be very difficult,” Nizzo concluded.

After five months in the institution and as a result of little participation in the Primera Nacional championship, Federico Andrada terminated his relationship with Aldosivi from Mar del Plata and in the next few hours he will emigrate to his new destination.
Despite having polls from the highest category of Argentine football and Serie B in Italy, the attacker chose to return to the club in January after a good first instance in the institution, where he had scored 12 goals and that put him among the top scorers of the Tiburón .
However, the cycle did not go as he had expected and he only played two games as a starter, without being able to score as many. That is why in the last few hours he agreed to his arrival at Diferdange in Luxembourg and this Tuesday he will travel to sign his contract with a club that has just become champion and will play in the next edition of the Champions League.

Both players were taken by Maximiliano Duarte from Santa Fe, who also established a very good relationship with the leadership of the Luxembourg club and was also important in the arrival of Andrada.
* After having finished the first round in the Reduced zone, Deportivo Maipú moves into the transfer market and has already confirmed its first reinforcement. This is Gonzalo Gómez, a midfielder who arrived from Midland.
And in search of continuing to complete the squad for what is to come, the Botellero does not stop his march and would have closed his second incorporation. According to Juan Suraci, a journalist who covers Cruzado news, goalkeeper Sebastián Sosa would have an agreement with the leadership and would join the team in the next few hours.
It is worth mentioning that the goalkeeper had a last spell in Vélez, a club from which he left because he is accused of being a secondary participant in a case of sexual abuse against a 24-year-old journalist from Tucumán.
