The chances for the quarter-finals of the Eurocup were not great even when the balls in the draw sent Jadran to Savona, and they became even less after the first match.
Tomorrow (Saturday) from 18:XNUMX in Trebinje, the Montenegrin water polo champion will play the return match of the round of XNUMX, the second highest quality competition on the Old Continent, against the Italian team.
After minus six (16:10) from Liguria, the continuation of the European dream will be much more difficult.
"If we are at the right level, I think we can achieve victory, and if we get into the right rhythm, take advantage of our rivals' mistakes and our defense is at a higher level, I hope we will have the opportunity to nullify the advantage from Italy," said Petar Radanović, coach of the Adriatic.
The strategist of the club from Herceg Novi knows where his boys made mistakes during the first duel.
"In the end, it didn't go as we imagined, the goal difference was big, but two weeks have passed since it. We prepared, analyzed and saw what mistakes we had. There was less aggressiveness, and we have to raise our swimming and one-on-one duels to higher level and fight for the positions we need," added Radanović.
For a miracle in Trebinje, the boys from Škver will need a new big party from Vasilij Radović.
"We saw the mistakes and I believe that we will be able to fix everything and that the victory will come - I don't know if it will be six points, but we will certainly go for the victory"
