The Sharks, Montenegro’s water polo team, are back in the fierce fight for a spot among the top eight at the World Championship in Singapore. After a convincing win against Canada, where they played with maximum focus and aggression, their biggest challenge awaits – the quarterfinal against Spain, famously known as The Fury. But can Montenegro finally break their 12-year curse of no wins against the Spaniards?
Reaching the quarterfinals is nothing new for the Sharks, but it’s often where their medal dreams stall. Spain has shown their strength this year, topping their group ahead of Hungary, Japan, and Australia, and are considered one of the main medal contenders. Montenegro, though not favorites, have their own tricks up their sleeve and are ready to give it their all. Captain Petar Tešanović stresses the key is to slow down The Fury and control the game, while the goalkeeper admits the task is tough but the team is determined.
Balša Vučković, one of the key players, says the Sharks have their own assets and will give everything with maximum aggressive play. Their goal is clear – to end the losing streak and finally fight for a medal. The match is scheduled for Sunday at 11:35 and will be broadcast live on TVCG 2 and the RTCG portal.
Will Montenegro manage to topple The Fury and finally break into the semifinals? Or will history repeat itself, leaving the Sharks stuck at this familiar crossroads? One thing’s for sure – a true water polo drama awaits, and we’ll be here to watch and comment. Got a prediction or think the Sharks can pull off an upset?
