The three points arrived after a 69-day fast make the new coach happy. Mister Colombo: “It was the victory desired by the group as an ability to suffer.”

The three points first of all because when the ranking is crying and you find yourself, after having also been in fourth place, close to the playout zone, those count like oxygen in a submarine.

But in his analysis of the match won 1-0 at home against Trento and played for more than one half in numerical inferiority, Alberto Colombo touches above all on the character aspects of his Renate who transformed “dry” into a 3-5-2, form immediately seen in Gorgonzola and which, despite the defeat on his debut, he proposed again on Saturday evening in Meda against Tedino’s team. With the new team of the Nerazzurri who had lasted 37 minutes until Bracaglia’s expulsion. From that moment on, all tactical finesse went out the window because we had to bring home the loaf and have a nice Christmas.

And so it was for Renate who will resume training tomorrow after the break in view of the match against Fiorenzuola. But in the meantime there is time to analyze the 90 minutes with Trento which left him with some good feedback. “It was the victory desired by the group, understood as the ability to suffer, to lend a hand in the great difficulties that a match played for more than half the time with the man less can present you, in a context where victory has been missing for eleven games, Cup included.

It’s clear that in certain moments of the season it doesn’t matter how you arrive, because it’s unthinkable that you can emerge from a difficult moment with a good game” says Colombo who applauds the group and notes progress compared to seven days earlier.

“We expected answers on a character level and they were there, so I’m very happy. If we make the comparison with the race in Gorgonzola, my first in Renate, beyond the result and the performance, we were lacking in terms of character. Against Trento, however, I saw a team that sought a result at all costs. The credit goes to the boys who showed great character.” The red in Bracaglia risked ruining all the plans. In the end, but this is what we say, it gave further value to the victory. “We already have some problems doing the offensive phase. At that point we undoubtedly concentrated on the defensive one. We were organized, we didn’t concede anything except Pasquato’s post hit directly from a free kick and a header in the melee” he closes Columbus.
