“I always want more glory. Always.”

“I don't care what other people say. The important pressure, you put on yourself. The pressure that others put on you? I ignore it.”

“I have to look after myself. I go to the gym every day; I have physio every day, I have a couple of guys that work with my body a lot.”

“I want to finish high school, but that will be it.”

“I believe in enjoying the game. If you make it too much work, that's not good.”

“I will never be a millionaire, and I don't want to be.”

“I've always helped polo to grow.”

“Here in Argentina, it is easy to practice and play because we have the horses, the land, the players - everything.”

“I just play, that's all. When I'm in the field, I always connect with what I'm doing. I can't explain it. I can't control it. It just happens.”

“I wanted total control and leadership. I wanted to buy the horses and choose the players.”

“Without good horses, you are nothing. In polo, it's 70 per cent horse, 30 per cent rider. And I have the best horses.”

“I play the way it's most effective for the team. They used to say I hit the ball too many times.”

“I am very happy with my life, but seven or eight months a year, I am away from home. I want to go home - that's the truth.”

“In Argentina, you do what your father does. If your father plays football, you play football. If your father plays polo, you play polo.”

“In polo, you jump on a horse and you play. To play tennis, you have to train every day. It's your legs that do all the work. In polo, it's the horses' legs.”

“Intuition is what makes the best players.”

“Pressure brings out the best in me. It's the only way to keep improving: putting a bit of pressure on yourself.”

“Everybody is talking about the Triple Crown, but I want to win the Open. That is my aim.”

“I'm just happy with what I am, and I happen to be a polo player.”

“The best decisions are taken quickly and well. You can prepare yourself, have all aspects of the game thought through, but the one who shines on the pitch is the one with intuition.”
