The Cerúndolo brothers be united
“Brothers be united, because that is the first law; have true union at any time, because if they fight among themselves, those outside will devour them.”El Gaucho Martin Fierro alleges in one of his passages and in Cerúndolo’s house it is no exception. Juan Manuel, Francisco and Constanza are not only united by blood and love for sport, but also by unconditionally accompanying each other in their challenges.
The union is not negotiated, and after his match against the world number, the oldest of the brothers arrived directly to follow his sister: “It’s always good to come. The truth is that we are almost never here in Argentina, I landed at night and I’m already here. I knew that it was an important match for them, for the club (Belgrano), that if they won or tied they would be promoted. So we came to support her, to support her and sometimes we have to reverse roles“Francisco began by mentioning.
And he continued: “Hockey has very good values, different from tennis, each sport has its own good and it brings everything that hockey brings, which is more of a team sport that is different from tennis, which is very individualistic.. She is also very fun, positive, she is always pushing forward and she does it very well.”
Juan, the youngest of the three, also spoke about unconditionality with his sister: “coni Whenever she can she comes to see us, she runs away, she travels with us, she also plays tennis, she likes it, the truth is that she is great for us, we have fun with her and sometimes she also has to bank it. This year he has been putting in a lot and the truth is that he really wanted to move up.”
Beyond their love for tennis, the men in the family slowly began to enter the world of stick and bocce to understand the sport that Constanza is passionate about: “The truth is that at the beginning we knew very little. Our family is almost entirely tennis, she also plays tennis, that’s also why she knows and because she sees the two of us and because at home we also breathe and see a lot of tennis, So he learned a lot very quickly. We only learned hockey from her, because we didn’t come from any hockey family, my aunt played a bit the same, but yes, we had no idea. Nowadays we understand almost all the rules, but, well, we can miss some,” Fran stated.
Beyond her aptitudes in the discipline she practices, Francisco highlighted the human side of Constanza: “She is a great sister, without a doubt, she is always there for us, to help us in anything, whether in tennis, personally, professionally, in anything we need.“, to support, to give us a hand, a message, advice, I think he is a very good person, also a fan of hockey, of training, of improving and that is also why we are here,” said the older brother.
