Milanović best goalkeeper at the European Championship, Radošević: Thanks to the boys and the coaching staff - I'm proud

The U16 water polo team of Montenegro defeated Croatia (12:7) in the third place match today and won the bronze medal at the European Championship in Istanbul.

The bronze medal from Istanbul is the 13th medal won by our junior teams at major competitions since 2006.

"We entered the game very motivated, especially on this day, which means a lot to us. We controlled the match from the beginning and brought it to the end as one great team. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the boys and the entire coaching staff, without whom we would not have been able to achieve this result. I am very proud. Emotions work. I wish them the best of luck in their future careers," said coach Đorđe Radošević after the match.

Captain Andrej Durutović said that Montenegro deservedly won the bronze medal.

"We are very satisfied with the result. We showed that a small country like Montenegro can reach third place. I think we deserved more, but we gave our all and deservedly won bronze," said Durutović.

The "Sharks" goalkeeper, Jakša Milanović, was named the best goalie of the tournament.
