Before the water polo national team of Montenegro is a match of truth - the "sharks" will play the fourth match at the Olympic Games in Paris tomorrow (16:35) against the USA.

The "Sharks" played well in three matches, losing to Greece and Italy after penalty kicks, so they came to a situation where the match against the USA was to be or not to be.

"We played the three best matches, unfortunately we didn't manage to pay for them. But that's the path and approach we should follow, where you can see that we can play with all national teams. We can't forget that we played three good matches. That must to remain in our subconscious, to continue like this, it will be a different story against the Americans. We have a chance, the finals for us. That should encourage us, to go that way as before," said Vlado Popadić.

The Americans defeated Romania in the tournament, and lost to Italy and Greece.

"The USA is an attacking team, physically dominant. They have the most dominant center in the world. They will remain consistent in that, above all, they respect him. And then, if they see that it is not going well, they have other qualities to compensate in attack," said Popadić.

"Sharks" are aware that this match is to be or not to be.

"Last winter, we played several matches under pressure - against France, where we had to win, and after that against the USA in Doha, where it was to be or not to be. Then we came out as winners, I believe it will be the same this time." , concluded Popadić.
