Since Ezequiel Medrán took over as coach of Colón, it has been clear that his working style is characterized by meticulousness and an obsession with leaving nothing to chance. One of the most noticeable aspects each week is the delay in announcing the list of called-up players.

What used to be released a day in advance has now become a last-minute habit. Generally, the names appear just a few hours before each match.

This approach is in response to an explicit request from the coach himself, who seeks to prolong the mystery as much as possible and prevent any hints from leaking.

Medrán is obsessive, attentive to every detail, and understands that any information can work against him. Although, in practice, the intrigue is often not as significant, the coach prefers to maintain secrecy as part of his work strategy.

At Colón, everything goes through his scrutiny: from training sessions to official communications. The list of called-up players, which seems like a minor procedure, has become yet another reflection of the extreme care with which the coach approaches each commitment.
