On one side of Adolfo Cambiaso Street, in the town of Alejandro Petión, Cañuelas district, is the club La Dolfina. At the opposite gate there is The birth of Christ. They were raised to this distance Adolfo Cambiaso (n.) and his cousins Bartolomé (h.) and Camilo Castagnola. Unaware of the differences that separated their parents for several years, they grew up on horses, with a cue in their hands, and had no better entertainment than playing polo all day long. They were barely out of puberty and together they realized their dream of winning Triple Crown.
So much Cambiaso bean as Barto and Jeta Castagnola They already knew what it meant to win Palermo. But they always dreamed of doing it together, like when they played at home. Yesterday came true as predicted when the quartet was founded at the end of 2024: with a brilliant performance from the four, including the Eternals Adolfo Cambiasoconfidently beat an Ellerstina Indios Chapaleufú team that had its moments, fought until the end and had little to blame, but could do little against this version of the dream team.
“It’s crazy! When we formed the team we said, “We’re going to do the Triple Crown, we’ve got something.”said Poroto Cambiaso THE NATION. “We’ve dreamed of this since we were very young. The connection we have on and off the pitch doesn’t come naturally and we had it in a difficult time and today people saw it in a slightly bigger stadium. The season flew by and that shows we had fun.” The boys and I joke around in hot moments. Today, before we entered the last chukker, the palenques between the three of us seemed like a joke. The truth is we had a lot of fun.”
Barto Castagnola, the eldest of the three cousins, but only 24 years old and the figure During the game he added his fourth league title in Palermo. “It’s the fourth Palermo with Jeta. If we look back a few years, I didn’t think it would come so quickly. It’s very difficult to win so much so quickly,” he said. THE NATION. “That’s why I’m happy with life, with how everything is going. There was talk about playing together. Everyone was on their team and focused on their own thing. Luckily it happened this year, and what could be better than that…”
He barely scored three goals, which doesn’t invalidate the fact that it was Camilo Castagnola the best on the team this season and probably the best of today. “This title is special because it is familiar and represents the magic that exists between us,” he said. “We’re there in Cañuelas, facing each other, living together all day and having a great time. It’s great to end it like this.”
The family nature of La Natividad-La Dolfina is not limited to the cousins, but also includes Adolfo Cambiaso 50 years. The Doubts about continuity. “The decision is his”Barto explained.
The team manufactured in Cañuelas won comfortably, but had to overcome some difficult moments. A good start from the rival in the first two chukkers and a reaction that took him to two points at the start of the final act. The figure of La Natividad-La Dolfina appeared there. “The pressure was great, but we gave extra under pressure “It was our best game of the season,” Poroto continued. “Winning the previous two tournaments and remaining unbeaten was nice, but the most important thing is Palermo.” If we lost, it was a bad season for us.“.
They marked the difference between the third and fourth chukkers as they went on an 8-0 run (9-0 at the start of the fifth). This was not so much due to brilliant moves (which there were), but rather the speed with which they had to anticipate and neutralize the actions of their rival (who had played very well).

For Barto Castagnola it was the best collective performance of the season: “I had the feeling that it was the game in which we had the most order. We played well defensively. They told us to stay the same.” His brother Camilo agreed: “We feel very good. I think we had order in defense and were error-free in the rounds. I think today was a great team game.”
The Castagnola brothers and their cousin Cambiaso played as if they were in the backyard of their home in Cañuelas. Just like they have done since childhood. How they have dreamed all their lives.
