He represented Argentina from 2011 to 2018 before switching his allegiance to Germany in 2022, with whom he won a silver medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, shared his thoughts on the Indian team's rise.
"Yeah, as you say, I think the Indians in the last years, they were training a lot together. They were doing a lot of camps in Europe. We saw now the Indians, they were in Amsterdam in the time we were playing also there and this change, maybe also the mentality or the structure for India, having more international coaches, different points of view, more European style hockey. I think this is also a big step for them and this is something that at the end of the day, you can see the progression from India. There's no more this ping pong game that used to be. Now it's a little bit more control, more power play situations. And this is in big tournaments what you need," Peillat told a news agency.
