Nicolás Colazo came in when no one was expecting him, for Matías Melluso, who couldn’t play the second half due to a load on an adductor, and ended up being Gimnasia’s most valuable player in the 2-0 win over Arsenal , which allowed him to establish himself at the top of the Professional League standings.
Colazo participated in the previous play of the goal transformed by the Paraguayan Ramón Sosa the first of the night in the Forest, and signed the second with a left from outside the area that made the ball travel on the figure of the goalkeeper.
“It was a tough match against a tough Arsenal. Luckily Ramón (Sosa) had a left rebound and we were able to take advantage of it. The team deserved this victory, for what it is as a group, ”said the left-back who had one of his best evenings at Lobo.
At the news of Gimnasia, the only leader of the tournament, Colazo acknowledged that “before the start of the championship I did not imagine such a thing, I honestly did not believe it. But now yes, because even if there are many guys, when they enter they adapt and this allows us to play as we are playing. The truth is that I am proud of this team ”.
As for the intern who compared the squad with the president of the club, Gabriel Pellegrino, the most important player of the evening in the 60 and 118, admitted that “things have happened that have not gone well for anyone, neither the club nor the players, but luckily it has been talked about and we can continue to enjoy this beautiful moment ”.
Brahian Alemán also intervened, underlining that “we must become strong at home, and against Arsenal we knew what chances we would have, but in the first half we went too fast. Luckily we managed to find the goal afterwards ”.
In the final part of the tournament, the Uruguayan felt that “there is a lot of missing, there are many points to be won and the championship is very close. Winning keeps you high, but a defeat can cost you a position, so we have to go game after game ”.
Regarding the candidates for the title, Alemán stressed that “the big teams are always candidates, but we have been there for many dates, like others, and we will see what happens”.
Finally, regarding the crossroads with the president, and the situation that this confrontation caused a couple of dates ago, the Montevideo-born midfielder said that “we are comfortable with the decision made in its time, and well, now the ‘man has come to apologize and that’s okay, let’s move on. “
