The Sharks, Montenegro’s water polo team, face Canada today in the round of 16 at the World Championship. After solid performances in the group stage, including a win against Greece and a strong fight against Croatia, but a surprising drop against China, Montenegro is the big favorite in this match. However, the warning from the game against China clearly shows they must not underestimate weaker opponents and need full concentration. If they live up to their favorite status, Spain awaits them in the quarterfinals, having been better last year at the World Championship in Doha. Đuro Radović points out that the match against China might have been a wake-up slap for the team, and now they must take it game by game, with discipline and full commitment. Canada, although better than China, should not pose a serious threat if the Sharks play properly. This match is a crucial step toward the semifinals, and fans eagerly await to see if Montenegro can handle the pressure and continue their climb to the top.
