Matković: We can confuse every team

Croatia is archived, and the Montenegrin water polo team will face Greece in the second round tomorrow (19:30) at the Olympic Games in Paris.

Today, "Ajkule" will analyze yesterday's game with the Croats, and get ready for the clash with the team that defeated Romania 1:14 yesterday, in the 7st round.

"We will try to analyze the match with Croatia as briefly as possible, to see where we made mistakes and what needs to be fixed. We have a match with Greece, an exceptional national team, waiting for us. We will do our best to prepare in the right way. I am convinced that if we are right, if we we will stick to the agreement, that we have something to hope for," said Dušan Matković.

Matković believes that there is still room for the team to improve.

"I think the desire and the energy were at the right level. I think we can improve in all segments of the game. If we manage to correct that, I think everything will be fine."

Montenegro and Greece have met several times in the Olympic cycle, they are teams that know each other well.

"Each team is special in its own way, it has its own advantages and disadvantages. We need to analyze Greece, and then we will see what we have in store. We have played a lot of matches with Greece in this Olympic cycle. I think calmness and the desire to win will decide. I don't think we are a team that can threaten. But we can mess up any team we play against. We managed to beat Croatia in the last few matches and that tells us that we have the quality to deal with the strongest teams in the world," he said. is Matković.

The matches of the first round showed that this is perhaps the strongest water polo tournament at the Olympic Games.

"Of course it is. This time both groups are evenly matched, all the teams from the group aim to go to the quarterfinals. One of the strongest Olympic tournaments. This means a lot to us, it is a great honor and privilege for Montenegro to be at the Olympic Games for the fifth time. But for us, that the data is not satisfactory, I think we can do a lot more," concluded Matković.

In the other matches of group A, Croatia - Italy and USA - Romania meet.
