Jadran is going to compete with the giant that has conquered Europe 11 times, Primorac sees a chance in Romania

Jadran M:tel and Primorac continue their competition in the Water Polo Champions League and face complicated away games.

Especially the team from Novi Sad, who are going to face one of the favorites for the European title - they are facing a clash with Pro Reka, a giant that has been the champion of the Old Continent 11 times, but also went through a period when it was practically on the verge of extinction.

Reko, however, "floated" out of all the problems, winning the Eurocup trophy last season, and this season he has a clear goal of returning to the throne.

Vladimir Gojković's team knows who the favorite is, they leave that role to the opponent, but the games and results from the season so far give them the right to believe that they can compete with the famous Italian club on Tuesday at 8:30 PM.

"We are aware that this is a difficult away game and that Reko is one of the best teams in Europe, a candidate for winning the Champions League," said young Montenegrin national team player Strahinja Gojković.

Our champion is relieved.

"We want to do our best and try to get points," Gojković emphasized.

Jadran is undefeated this season. They have won four times in the Premier Regional League (two of them on penalties against Radnički and Novi Beograd), and they opened their Champions League campaign on the right note by beating Jadran Split in Trebinje.

And Primorac is going to Romania and believes that against Oradea (Tuesday at 7:30 PM) they can "undo" the defeat from the premiere when Brescia rejoiced in Kotor.

"We are playing against the home team that we have been preparing for for days. I expect a complicated match, Oradea has quality, but I believe that we also have trump cards. We are going for a triumph because the goal is to stay in the game for second place," said goalkeeper Dimitrije Rističević.

Oradea is led by Petar Kovačević, a native of Kotor, and our national team player Filip Gardašević wears the Romanian team's cap.

"There is also goalkeeper Lazar Dobožanov, a few other very good players. However, I believe that we are a better team and that we will show it," said Primorac center Savo Ćetković.
