Montenegro and Italy are great opponents from the biggest competitions, the rivalry continues in Zagreb in the quarter-finals of the European Championship.
"Setebel" coach Alessandro Kampanja is very cautious before the duel with "Sharks", especially after the performance of our selection in the group stage against France, Spain and Croatia.
"Montenegro came close to what Italy plays. In Dubrovnik, they showed a dynamic game, with a lot of counterattacks, speed in exchanging the ball, a lot of mobility... We will have to pay special attention to use our strengths. The defense must be a better part of the team, because when we are good in front of our goal, then we are more calm in attack," said Kampanja and added:
DON'T MISS IT
"We should forget what happened in the group, the duels with the Greeks and Hungarians are behind us. The most important games in the tournament are ahead of us, and we came here to play to the end. To fulfill that, we have to be better than what was the case until now," added Campaign.
Hungary outclassed Italy (10:5) and took over the first place in the group.
"That match must be forgotten. It was a wrong step, a slap that immediately brought us back to reality, because it showed that we can play below any level. Montenegro is at a serious level at the moment, they will want a match with a lot of swimming and rhythm and we have to be ready for that," said Italy goalkeeper Marco del Lungo.
