The coach of the young water polo national team, Veljko Uskoković, did not hide his satisfaction after the great victory over Hungary, which is worthy of a place in the quarter-finals of the World Championship.
Our water polo players celebrated 15:14, and the opponent in the battle for the semi-finals is Serbia.
"We are deservedly among the top eight teams. From the first to the last minute, we had a rhythm and were leading. Although the Hungarians were getting the result, we showed character and confirmed that we are raising the level of play as the tournament progresses. I am satisfied with absolutely every segment of the game, although the defense can and must better. We played against a great team, but we were better," said Uskoković.
He also referred to the next rival.
"Serbia had a rest day, that's not a small thing. It will be interesting, they are two similar water polo schools. Serbia is playing excellent defense, we are a bit better in attack and we will see what will happen," Uskoković pointed out.
Goalkeeper Darko Đurović congratulated the team on their placement.
"We showed great heart and deserved to go through. We played hard from the very beginning," said Đurović.
