In the past, matches between the rivals from Boka Kotor decided who would go to the final four of the Champions League, but after more than a decade and many difficult moments, it is nice to see two symbols of Montenegrin water polo in the European elite again.
Jadran m:tel completed the qualification in Dubrovnik without a mistake, with four out of four, and joined Primorac in the group stage of the Champions League.
"I would emphasize that this is a great success for Montenegrin water polo in general, because I think that for over ten years we have not had two representatives in the Champions League. All water polo fans in Montenegro can be happy with the results of Primorje and Jadran", said Aleksandar Ivović, a great reinforcement This season's newspaper.
Jadran took a key step to the elite with a triumph over the giant Jug - and that in Dubrovnik.
"This is a great success for the club, for us players... When we arrived in Dubrovnik, I don't believe that anyone saw us as favorites, especially because it is known that Jug at the pool in Gruž is a completely different team. What we showed in that match can make us happy and we should build on that what awaits us in the rest of the season," added Leka.
After parting with the national team of Montenegro, Vladimir Gojković immediately started with success on the bench of Jadran.
"I congratulate the players on an exceptional tournament, we celebrated in three difficult games. It was stressful against Barcelona because we knew we couldn't lose, but the boys played maturely, responsibly and prepared. Now we want to rest a bit and get ready for the Regional League" , Gojković pointed out.
Vuk Milojević is one of the reinforcements that brought additional quality to Škver this season.
"The tournament was very tiring, we played four games in a short period, and the match against Jug was crucial. We respected the agreement as much as possible, we are satisfied going to the Champions League and turning to the Regional League," Milojević said.
Jadran will play in Group C of the Champions League against Barceloneta, Marseille and Vaša, while Primorje's rivals in Group D will be Olympiakos, Savona and most likely Sabadell as the winner of one of the qualifying groups.
