The Montenegrin water polo players had to settle for a point in the match, which they controlled for at least 28 of the total 32 minutes.
In the end, they faltered, losing to Greece by five points (17:16, after 12:12 in the regular part) and suffered a second defeat, after Croatia was better in the opening match.
"We played a serious, exceptional game against a top team, and I congratulate the players because they brought it all out with one less player. We had chances, we could have maybe pulled away earlier and settled the match, and then we conceded two goals at the end. The game is encouraging, it was is better than against Croatia and now we continue on - nothing changes, in such a difficult group we want to reach the quarter-finals and I think we can achieve that", said the "Sharks" coach Vladimir Gojković.
The goal does not change, although such defeats can affect...
"We have played against Greece and Croatia so far, they are teams that are aiming for the gold. We have two good matches behind us, if we had won one it might not have brought much, if we had won both it probably would have. Before us now are Italy, the United States of America States and Romania and we need points in a group in which we are not favorites. Energy and approach are something I am satisfied with," Gojković pointed out.
On Thursday, the rival is Italy, which dominated the first two games.
"Italy plays superbly. It was in the final of the World Cup, it has many players - it changed between Zagreb and Doha, it has changed now, and there are still only aces. It is no coincidence that they got the Croatians and the Americans without any problems. We will get ready and do everything to fight in the right way," said Gojković.
