“This reminds me a lot of those moments at the beginning of the Vignatti era, when we met in a club in the southern zone. This situation is similar to that of that time. We colonists have to convince ourselves and think big. There are two models of club: the one that is predictable and the winner is one; and the other is the conservative club, which is not giving us good results. Of course we embody the first option,” Abraham began by saying, who also mentioned the name of Alfredo Berti as one of the technicians with whom he contacted in the event that he is elected president.
“We have to improve our relations with members, with clubs and with Afa. We have to honor human relations, which is what we lack. You cannot trample on people,” said Abraham, who also sent ” a hug to the other candidates”, when asked about the number of lists, without entering into any type of controversy.
“We are going to create a figure that is the ‘partner representative’, who will not be elected by the board of directors, but by the rest of the groups and subsidiaries. When the member has a question, he should take his complaint to that person. It would be as if he were an ombudsman. And that person is going to attend the board of directors meetings and will raise what he considers pertinent,” Abraham said.

“Colón has a terrible image, we have to recognize it and work very hard in marketing and networks,” he continued. And getting into football, he pointed out that “the players who come have to have drive and quality, as our march says. They are going to wear the shirt. That’s why we turn to the people who know how to take charge of managing the football. Rolando Carlen will work with us, a fundamental person in choosing the coach and the players, with extensive experience and international experience. The other person who will work with him will be the beloved Sergio Verdirame, who returns to give us a hand in this instance. Regarding of the squad, it will be purged, but I want to clarify that we are not a disaster, because we arrived at the last game fighting relegation, but with a chance of qualifying for the play offs. Several of us who are here, participate in the football subcommittee that was formed when we achieve the star in 2021, so we know what it is about. We have to look at it case by case and what we consider can be useful, we will try to make it stay,” said the presidential candidate.
“Inferior football will have the supervision of Rubén Rossi, who was the manager of the best process that Colón had in the generation of values that emerged from below. He is central to the evolution of the club. If I say Alario, Luque, Meli, Mugni, Conti “They are all players who came out of their work. And I can mention 25 or 30 top-level footballers who passed through their hands,” he continued.
“Our goal is to make people happy, because it broke my heart to see the people of Colón crying like I saw in Rosario when I left the field. If you didn’t lead the club to make the fans happy, it’s because you failed as a leader.” , was the thought outlined by Abraham, who was very clear when it came to generating resources: “We have to generate partners, reach 30,000, we have wasted marketing, for example, which is extremely useful for bringing in money to the club. 40 percent is from TV and the rest has to be generated and not wait for the sale of a player, as happened now with Farías,” he explained.
Regarding the economic inheritance that the new board of directors will receive, he said that “doing an audit is difficult and very expensive, there are several accountants here who can attest to what I am saying. I trust that the club is not bad, no We are going to find a devastated club, I am not one of the doomsayers who see everything black. We must not alarm people or be pessimistic, because we are a week away from looking for reinforcements and if we convey that, no one will want to come. We have to be the San Lorenzo of 1982. And we are going to try to win the fight and take our people to the visiting stadiums. They have to see us as a cuckoo and that no one wants to play against Colón,” said Abraham.
Finally, he gave his opinion on the presentation that Colón made asking for the annulment of the relegation: “From a legal point of view, I don’t see it as viable knowing how the AFA acts. They are playing against us, too. And the truth is that I like to win. the games on the field,” he concluded.
