Three weeks before the Olympics, a four-team men’s water polo preparatory tournament will be held on Margaret Island from Friday; Hungarians, Croats, Spaniards and Russians fight each other in front of spectators – after the frame was announced.
“Obviously it wasn’t a surprise to others, it was a relief to others, but whatever it is, we now have to take the team in the direction that we have a target now, and someone who was a little more nervous due to the duress to prove it, you can now rest assured. Everyone should help the team,” European champion Krisztián Manhercz expressed his thoughts after the tire was announced on InfoRádio.
The team came home from Croatia the other day, with the results in the training camp “speaking for themselves”, but the player said the most important thing was that they could match, as only the Bennu Cup was available, and after a long journey. – And before the Olympics – training against Spain and Japan.
He did not “evade” the defeat of the Croats, not even after the first two-goal training after a long time, and the opponent was also qualitative, he even surpassed Russia only on penalties in the Olympic qualifications
The Olympics scenario is already known, four teams from each of the two groups of six will advance, which means that there will only be real pressure from the quarter-finals on the national teams.
- Scope members: Japan, Spain, Serbia, Italy, United States, Australia, South Africa, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Montenegro, Greece, Croatia.
“Getting into the top four is the psychological point, once we get there we have to focus on that, but in the meantime we still need to clear a lot of things, both tactically and physically.”
Note.
He does not regret postponing the Olympics for a year, but is happy to keep them, because the epidemic “still defines human life.”
