The leadership that led Lomas to another metropolitan title
Maria Emilia Milli Forcherio, Martina Triñanes and Clara Barberi spoke on SportsCenter after winning Lomas’ 20th title in the 2024 Metropolitan Tournament. Las Conejas finished in first position in the regular phase, with only one game lost, and surpassed San Fernando in the final of the Playoffs on Saturday, November 30.
Clari, Martu and Mili are very important players within the team led by Lucas Vila, all three leaders in their own way, contributing to the team both on and off the field. Clari, one of the most experienced and an Olympic medalist in Paris, tends to organize her players, since from her position she has the possibility of seeing the entire court. “She is the voice of the team, nothing escapes her, and that completes her as the spectacular goalkeeper that she is.”Mili commented. Martu added that It is a voice that they constantly need, and the tranquility and experience it has is essential for the youngest members of the squad.
On Mili Forcherio’s side, the level he had this year could be seen, especially in the final. In addition to being the best player on the field, she scored the goal that not only gave Lomas the victory, but another metropolitan title. “It is the most essential pillar we have”Triñanes said. Her hunger for victory and the personality she has as a player could be seen reflected on the field, and are characteristics that the captain highlighted in her center back. In addition to having passed through Las Leonas, last year she became a mother. “I think she brought out her best version this last year, although she was always a reference, since she became a mother she reinvented herself. She did everything to always add and take the team forward.”Barberi noted.
Martina Triñanes, with the number 6 and her position in the middle of the field, is the captain of Las Conejas. Her colleagues highlighted some of her best qualities in this role, such as her born leadership and his positivity. Mili highlighted the way he instills in them a love for the colors and the club, while Clari appreciates the way he calms them down when they start to get desperate. “He also has a very good rapport with the players and the coaching staff, and is a very important link,” added the archer.
Beyond everything they achieved as a team, Super 8 and Torneo Metropolitano, and what remains, Copa Buenos Aires, they started the year with a change in the coaching staff. Lucas Vila joined as coach, making it a dream debut for the Banco Provincia player. What the girls mentioned most about him was the good management of the group. “Although we are a easy-going group, we always did it calmly”Triñanes commented. What Clari liked most about Colo It was his frankness. “He prefers to get to the point directly and always goes to the front, his ideas were to go after the game, to be protagonists, as he is on the field”.
Vila renewed his contract and will continue another season with the historic metropolitan hockey club, which on Saturday, December 7, will go for a place in the final of the Buenos Aires Cup. “I think this version suits him very well, and that he was surprised by what he is capable of doing as a coach. He assumed the role in Lomas with great responsibility and put together a great coaching staff. We grew together and we all learned, we from him and vice versa, and this is the result”Forcherio concluded.
