After visiting in the first round, it's time for the first home matches in the Champions League - or for one of the Montenegrin teams a nominal home...
The strongest club water polo competition returns to Kotor after almost 14 years, Primorac will host Savona in the 20nd round from 2:XNUMX.
On the other hand, just like last season, Jadran will play their home games in another country, in Trebinje, where they will attack Barceloneta today from 18.15:XNUMX.
An opportunity for full stands
In 2009, Primorac won the Champions League, a year later they played in the final, and two years later, they appeared in the elite for the last time - it was on January 19, 2011, when they were defeated by Vaša (9:8).
- The Champions League has returned to Kotor after 14 years - it will be a good opportunity to fill the stands and play a real game, which we lacked in the last two matches, where we were not satisfied with the defense - he said Drasko Brguljan.
Kotorani will chase a triumph against Savona after two consecutive defeats, but also games in which they did not disappoint against strong teams such as Olympiakos and Jadran from Split.
- Until the game, we will try to fix the defense as much as it can be fixed. In principle, it's not a tactical thing, it's up to us. We just lacked a bit of aggression. I hope that we will improve the defense already from Savona - Brguljan added.
The coach is also expecting full stands Vjekoslav Pasković.
- We have a busy week behind us, we had two strong games and played good games for this part of the season. We have enough time until Wednesday to rest and prepare well for Savona. I think this is a unique opportunity for the audience to come in as many as possible and support these young guys. I think they deserve it - believes Pasković.
Excellent conditions in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Jadran was also defeated in the first round, but did not disappoint at the pool in Marseille - now they will look for the first points against the powerful Barceloneta. In contrast to Primorje, there is no spectacle in Herceg Novi, since the problems of the team from Škver with the swimming pool are known, and the leading people of the club chose Trebinje before Kotor, Budva or Podgorica...
- We have excellent conditions here, I came with the national team and I was always welcomed and supported - he stressed Vladimir Gojkovic, coach of Jadran.
He had a similar message Aleksandar Ivović, a great reinforcement from Novljan.
- I'm playing in Trebinje for the first time, but I've only heard good things from the team and I'm convinced of the good conditions - says Ivović.
In the first round, Barceloneta was convincing against Vaša (18:7).
- I am sure that we will do our best to have a good game and achieve a good result - emphasized Gojković.
