Just when you think Montenegrin volleyball is down and out, here comes Vukašin Cimbaljević, a 22-year-old service receiver who just bounced back from injury and is ready to lift the entire national team! Yes, you read that right — the guy who missed all the crucial matches due to a freak gym accident and a finger injury is now the main bearer of new hope for Montenegrin volleyball. While Montenegro struggles with a generational shift and is decimated by injuries, this young man and coach Ivica Jevtić refuse to give up. They’re not just chasing results; they’re building a team for the future. Even though qualifying for the European Championship is just a theoretical chance, the team vibe is “great,” and the goal is clear — progress and character.
Imagine this — three consecutive European Championship qualifications were the peak, and now a new generation is knocking on the door. Vukašin has already played for serious clubs like Vojvodina and Kaštela, and now he’s returning to Budva, Montenegro’s most decorated club, to continue the fight for trophies together. Despite a serious injury, he’s training with bandages and ready to give his all. This isn’t just a sports story; it’s a tale of struggle, persistence, and belief in the future. If you think Montenegrin volleyball is done for, think again! So, what do you think — can this young team pick up where their predecessors left off? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s optimistic and who’s skeptical!
