Ellerstina is confident to retain Argentina Open Polo Championship Title
It was another fine day when Ellerstina Etiqueta Negra comfortably recorded its straight, second triumph over Indios Chapaleufu II Cardon, 21-14, in the Argentina Open Polo Championship. It is quite optimistic that it will retain the title of the tournament.
Ellerstina dominated the entire game with the ball under its control and an impressive stick-work.
The victory against Chapa II was not a big task for Ellerstina, the defending champion of the Argentina Open Polo Championship.
Ellerstina’s polo pros spoke with Livingpolo.com soon after earning the heavy-margin victory over Chapa II.
Gonzalo Pieres believes that it was the best performance of the season, where they performed well in all the positions. He informed that they will continue this positioning in the future games, as they did not lose anything.
He also praised Nachi Heguy’s game, saying that he (Ignacio Heguy) rendered a wonderful performance at the back position.
Replying to a query about the semi-final stage, Gonzalo stated, “Yes, without a doubt. Now we have to think that it's going to be a tough time against Estancia Grande, but I'm happy with the match we played today”.
Explaining the changed positions, he observed that he enjoyed the new position, as it helped him in marking goals and sending the passes to the forward men.
Ignacio Heguy, another player from Ellerstina, was of the opinion that they eased off towards the conclusion but it did not happen intentionally.
Ignacio termed the Palermo (Cathedral of Polo) experience slightly different from the other tournaments.
He felt that all of his teammates contested the game in a good manner. In his view, the typical Ellerstina’s style always helps them in securing a victory.
In reply to a query about playing a game against his brothers (Eduardo Heguy and Alberto Heguy), Ignacio stated that it was quite a difficult experience particularly when they won the game with a heavy margin.
He further expressed that the Ellerstina foursome was thinking about the next game where they will face the undefeated Estancia Grande.
He anticipated that the match against Estancia will not be an easy assignment and they will have to work hard to win the game.
Without any doubt, the match between Ellerstina and Estancia Grande will be a great source of thrill and excitement for the spectators.
