The battle for a (much) easier rival in the round of XNUMX of the World Water Polo Championship in Fukuoka is scheduled for tomorrow morning (Friday) at five o'clock our time.

In the match with Serbia, Montenegro "chooses" Japan or Croatia on the way to the quarter-finals - the winner should go to the host, the loser to one of the strongest teams in the world.

"Neither Serbia, nor we, want to play against the current European champion in the round of XNUMX, but to have an easier path to the tough goal, which is the quarter-finals," said one of the younger members of our national team, Aljoša Mačić.

He believes that the match will be very demanding - both physically and mentally.

"It will be a direct fight for second place and I hope that we will succeed in stopping their transition and that we will reverse the course of the games in our favor," added Mačić.

What could decide?

"Certainly a more player, who didn't go well against Spain. But we prepared, we know each other and I hope we will be as efficient as possible and celebrate the victory in the end," concluded Mačić.
