The celebration of Argentina: “An epic final won by a great team, with heart and two young warriors”

He arrived at the press conference with a smile, the trophy in hand, and without shoes over his socks, still seeking some relief after an epic match ending with severe cramps. Leo Augsburger has become the symbol of this two-time world champion Argentina and of a NextGen that is now ready to explode: “When I realized we had won, it was total happiness”, he commented, still emotional. “The first thing I did was look at my teammates and share this incredible joy with everyone; it was exactly what I dreamed of”.

Fede Chingotto and Martin Di Nenno, leaders of the team, also shared their enthusiasm for an unforgettable night: “It’s like being in a movie. We have to thank the whole team for giving their all until the end and for being united. I think we won today with heart; it was truly an epic final, and on top of that”, he said, referring to Libaak and Augsburger sitting next to him. “We have these two young warriors with us. During the week, we talked about many possible scenarios; Spain also has a great team, and we want to congratulate them on how they played. I have no doubt that this final will be played again, with all these guys who are only 19-20 years old and are already here. They have a great future ahead of them”. Now, however, it’s time to think about the present and enjoy a night that may have little sleep but immense happiness.
