Twenty-five names - that's how many there are on the list of water polo national team selector Dejan Savić for the World Cup Super Finals, which will be held in Podgorica from April 11th to 13th.
This tournament is also a qualifier for the World Championship (in Singapore this summer).
Savić will have goalkeepers Petar Tešanović, Darko Đurović and Lazar Andrić at his disposal at the beginning of the preparations, and the list also includes: Đuro Radović, Vasilije Radović, Danilo Radović, Marko Mršić, Strahinja Gojković, Miroslav Perković, Srđan Janović, Vladan Spaić, Dušan Matković, Matija Sladović, Aljoša Macić, Jovan Vujović, Danilo Stupar, Petar Vujošević, Uroš Vučurović, Đorđije Stanojević, Balša Vučković, Dimitrije Obradović, Nikola Moskov, Filip Gardašević, Savo Ćetković and Dušan Banićević.
A new name for Savić is Pro Reka defender Petar Vujošević, a former youth national team player and former Primorac player, who has made a name for himself in the cap of the legendary Italian club this season.
Dimitrije Obradović is back in the national team, and unlike the first action - the World Cup qualifiers in Romania - this time, the trump card of the Hungarian Vašaš team, Bogdan Đurđić, is not among the invited players, nor is Vlado Popadić, a member of the French Strasbourg team.
Montenegro plays against Croatia in the quarterfinals at the start of the tournament (April 11).
The semi-final pairings will be announced that day, and our team will face the winner of the Spain-Germany duel in the next round, with the "red fury" being the big favorite. Hungary and the Netherlands, as well as Greece and Japan, will also meet.
The top three teams from the Superfinal in the capital of Montenegro, which have not yet qualified for the World Cup, will advance to the championship, which runs from July 11 to August 3. Croatia, Spain and Hungary have previously secured their place in the World Cup.
Savić made his debut on the "Sharks" bench at the beginning of this year at a tournament in Romania where Montenegro finished fourth, behind the Spaniards, Greeks and Hungarians.
In its first appearance under the command of the legendary Serbian coach, our national team lost twice to Greece, once to Spain, and defeated Serbia, France, and the United States.
