The Serbian Water polo National Team is getting ready for their quarterfinal match, against the United States. The Dolphins have won all of their prior games, and have reached this next phase of the competition as first in their group. The awaited QF match will be played tomorrow, (Tuesday) at 20:30 CET, as the last match of the evening.

One of the biggest favorites for winning this year’s World championship in Kazan has played “a very good preparation match” against Croatia, before the big day.

The team members state that they won’t be falling under pressure after the statements made by the US coach, Dejan Udovičić, as well as the fact that victories aren’t guaranteed.  “We are the favorites, but that means nothing now. There can be no underestimating of the opponent. (…) Nobody will say much to them if they lose against Serbia, while our goal is the medal.”

Tonight is the night when Europe’s tallest was replaced by Europe’s largest. The strong 2,08m tall Greek-Cameroonian center has officially become part of the B.C Red Star (in Serbian, KK Crvena zvezda). The latest member of the Red and Whites has signed a one year contract, showing the team’s strong ambitions for the upcoming season. So far, he is the first of the team’s new signings, which are meant to replace the top players of last season’s record-breaking generation, that have left the club during the past month.

Before his latest contract, Schortsanitis has played for both of the Greek giants: Olympiacos and Panathinaikos,while reaching the Euroleague title with Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2014, from which he has transferred to Red Star. He was also chosen into the Euroleague top 5 team, in 2011.

During his last season in Maccabi, he played an average 14,5 minutes per game, while scoring 6,7 points, with a Performance index rating of 5,9.

Večeras je najveći evropski igrač zamenio najvišeg. Naime, Sofoklis Skorcanidis je postao član KK Crvena zvezda. Stameni centar grčk0-kamerunskog porekla, potpisao je jednogodišnji ugovor, na taj način potvrđujući dalje pobedničke ambicije kluba sa Malog Kalemegdana. On je prvi u nizu najavljivanih pojačanja, koja bi trebalo da zamene članove prošlosezonske pobedničke generacije, koji su tokom proteklog meseca napustili klub.

Pre potpisivanja za Zvezdu, 208cm visok Skorcanidis je igrao za grčke gigante, Olimpijakos i Panatinaikos, dok je sa Makabijem iz Tel Aviva 2014. postao evropski šampion. Takođe je bio član Najbolje petorke Evrolige, tokom sezone 2010/11.

Tokom svoje poslednje, sezone u Makabiju, zabeležio je prosečnih 14,5 minuta na terenu, tokom kojih je postigao 6,7 poena, uz indeks korisnosti od 5,9.

The Serbian Water polo National team has its rival for the quarterfinals. The Dolphins will be playing against the United States, after their 7-3 victory against Brazil.  The current US coach, and former Serbian NT leader, Dejan Udovičić has pointed out the strength of the Serbian players: Serbia is the only team that we almost certainly cannot win against. This will be an important experience and an honor for us. It is just the reality, and I plan on giving the younger players a chance.

The match between Serbia and the US is to be played on Tue, at 20:30 (CET).

Meanwhile, the Serbian team will be training twice a day, to keep up their fitness before the important game. An element that team captain, Živko Gocić agrees on, while eliminating any possible result calculations: I don’t know if the others were doing it, or wanted to do it… For us, it’s a forbidden subject. We don’t talk about it.

The other QF pairs are:

Croatia vs. Montenegro; Greece vs. Australia; Hungary vs. Italy

Srpska reprezentacija konačno ima četvrtfinalnog rivala. Delfini će igrati protiv selekcije Amerike, nakon njihove pobede nad Brazilom, od 7-3.  Selektor  Sjedinjenih Država i bivši strateg srpske reprezentacije, Dejan Udovičić, istakao je snagu srpskih igrača: Srbija je jedina ekipa koju skoro sigurno ne možemo da pobedimo. Za nas će to biti veliko iskustvo, čast nam je da igramo protiv nje. Realnost je takva i posle toga planiram da razigravam mladje igrače.

Meč između Srbije i Amerike, igraće se u utorak od 20:30. U međuvremenu će izabranici Dejana Savića trenirati dva puta na dan, kako bi održali formu i ostali u neophodnom takmičarskom ritmu. Element čiju važnost ističe i kapiten Živko Gocić, eliminišući bilo kakve teorije o kalkulacijama: Ne znam da li su drugi to radili ili želeli da rade. Za nas je to zabranjena tema, o tome ne razgivaramo.

Ostali četvrtfinalni parovi su:

Hrvatska – Crna Gora (16:30)
Grčka – Australija (17:50)
Mađarska – Italija (19:10)

Doskorašnji košarkaš Crvene zvezde i reprezentativac Srbije, Nikola Kalinić, definitivno će karijeru nastaviti u turskom Fenerbahčeu. Transfer je zvanično potvrđen juče, u iznosu od rekordnih milion evra.

Klub su do sada napustili Boban Marjanović, Čarls Dženkins, Markus Vilijams, dok je više mladih igrača kluba otišlo na domaće pozajmice.

Očekuje se da će najtalentovaniji igrači Zvezdine omladinske škole dobiti zasluženu šansu u prvom timu. Korak koji bi bio veoma važan u daljem uspostavljanju klupske strukture i razvoj mladih igrača kroz različite kategorije kluba.

Now former player of Crvena zvezda and an important member of the Serbian National basketball Team, Nikola Kalinić will definitely be continuing his career in Fenerbahçe. The Turkish team has decided to pay a record 1 million euros for the Serb.  One of the most expensive European transfers of the year, so far.

It is also expected for the most talented players of  Crvena Zvezda’s  youth academy to get a well deserved chance in the first team. A step which would be very important in the further establishment of the team’s structure and the development of young players through playing in diverse categories.

Na novoj funkciji.

Nekadašnji trener U20 reprezentacije srbije, vođa mladih svetskih prvaka u fudbalu, Veljko Paunović, ostaće deo Fudbalskog saveza Srbije. Ipak, ne kao trener već kao svojevrsni koordinator između Mlade i A-selekcije srpske reprezentacije. Reč je o poziciji kreiranoj u želji da se mladi i uspešni stručnjak zadrži u Savezu, nakon odlaska sa klupe, te iskazane želje da ne preuzme i Mladu reprezentaciju.

Za novog trenera mladih igrača do 21 godine, imenovan je Tomislav Sivić, nekadašnji trener Hajduka iz Kule i Voždovca. Sivić je izabran tokom vanrednog glasanja, i to većinom glasova. U Savezu ističu da novi strateg Mlade selekcije poseduje: “ogromnu energiju i motiv, a u smeru stvaranja nove ekipe i željenih vrhunskih rezultata”. Sivićev prvi test na trenerskoj poziciji biće osmog septembra (8.9.) u Gornjem Milanovcu, protiv selekcije Litvanije.

Veljko Paunović, the former coach of the U20 Serbian National Team, and the current World Champion will be staying as part of the Serbian Football Association. Not as a coach, but as a coordinator between the U21 team, and the A-team. This position was created in order to maintain the young and successful football strategist within the Association, after him refusing to take over the U21, or stay with the next U20 generation.

The new coach of the U21 players was named today, and after an emergency vote, Tomislav Sivić was chosen with a majority of votes. According to the press release by the Football Association, the new coach possesses: “a vast energy and motives to create a new team and the desired excellent results”.

His first test comes on September 8th, as the U21 start their new qualifying cycle, against Lithuania.

Još jedna izuzetna pobeda Delfina! Srbija je u četvrtfinalu Svetskog prvenstva u vaterpolu! Rezultat koji, s obzirom na izuzetnu reputaciju srpske reprezentacije, ni najmanje ne iznenađuje, ali svakako ih približava željenim ciljevima.

Izabranici Dejana Savića su obezbedili sebi prvo mesto u grupi, i samim tim više odmora, dok čekaju svog narednog protivnika u nokaut fazi turnira. Duel između Italije i SAD.  Tri dana pauze mogu da budu mač sa dve oštrice za srpsku ekipu, zbog mogućeg remećenja takmičarskog ritma, ali jasan je stav da nema opuštanja.

Ovo je bila rezultatski najzahtevnija srpska pobeda, ali i još jedan dokaz klase Reprezentacije. Nakon početnih kolebanja, Delfini su uspeli da se u poslednjoj četvrtini izdignu i obezbede sebi trijumf nad snažnim rivalom.

Najkorisniji igrači Srbije u današnjoj utakmici bili su: Filip Filipović, Stefan Mitrović i Milan Aleksić, sa po dva pogođena gola.

The Serbian National team is now in the quarterfinals of the Waterpolo World Championship, after beating Australia 10-9. A victory that doesn’t come as a surprise, considering the reputation of the Serbs, but also represents a step closer to the desired goals. The players of coach Dejan Savić have reached the first place in their group B, and three days more of rest, as they wait for their next opponent. The winner in the match between Italy and the US. The extra days of rest might be a double-edged sword, considering that they can disturb the winning rhythm of the team. It is clear that there will be no time for relaxation, but for regrouping, and making sure not to repeat the same mistakes in the further stages of the competition.

This was the most demanding game for the Serbian Dolphins so far, but another proof of their class. After various difficulties, especially in the initial phases, they have managed to rise in the last quarter, and reach victory against a strong rival.

The most useful players of the Serbian team were: Filip Filipović, Stefan Mitrović and Milan Aleksić, scoring two goals each.

Nakon prvog dela dvomeča u Ligi Evrope između Sampdorije i Vojvodine, rezultat je 4-0 u korist srpskog kluba!

Tim Zlatomira Zagorčića ostvario je jednu od najznačajnijih pobeda u novijoj klupskoj istoriji, ostvarivši izuzetno ubedljivu pobedu protiv favorizovanog protivnika. Njihova složna igra u napadu i snažna odbrana, omogućili su ovaj izuzetni rezultat. Nakon 94 minuta igre, “Lale” su ubeležile četiri pogotka, i to:

Mirko Ivanić u 4. minutu, Aleksandar Stanisavljević u 49. minutu, i briljantni Ognjen Ožegović u 58., i 91. minutu, u okviru sudijske nadoknade. Poslednjim, zaista veoma lepim golom, samo je “zacementirao” prednost svoje ekipe, ostavljajući neznatne šanse italijanima za prolazak dalje.

Revanš meč se očekuje naredne subote, na stadionu “Karađorđe”, a publiku svakako očekuje nezapamćeni spektakl.

After the first leg of the Europa League match between Sampdoria, as the host, and Vojvodina, the result is 0-4 in favor of the Serbian team!

The players of Zlatomir Zagorčić have managed to write in one of the most important victories in the recent club history, against the Italians, that were considered as strong favorites. After 94 minutes of play, the goal scorers were Mirko Ivanić (4′), Aleksandar Stanisavljević (49′), and the brilliant Ognjen Ožegović, (58′, 91′).

The rematch is expected to be played next weekend, most likely on Saturday, at the “Karađorđe” stadium. The crowd is in its full right to expect a show to remember.

Dear all,

This is my first week of trying to do a “serious” blog. As some of you may already know, my social media experiences have been extensive, but the topics have always managed to vary. With this blog, I have decided to try and do it in another way. As you have undoubtedly noticed, this is in fact a sports blog. And it’s something I’m very passionate about. So, the goal is to continue the road of having only one main topic, and develop from there. Develop this story, as all of the other news and stories around me do. And to any of you that might still be reading this… Thank you. Because without someone actually reading, and reacting to what I write, there is not much point for me doing this in the first place. So I’m grateful to everyone helping me to build onto my dream.

As we go from here, and as I develop as much as possible on this platform, there will definitely be some interesting additions, new pages and features, and hopefully more reasons for you to bear with me, and maybe get interested in another new field, or two.

So, let’s just continue, and see what happens next.

Dragi svi,

Ovo je moja prva nedelja pokušavanja da vodim “ozbiljan” blog. Kao što neki od vas možda i znaju, moje iskustvo na društvenim mrežama je veliko, ali uvek je na njima uspelo da se potkrade brdo tema i odvrati me od glavne poente. Sa ovim blogom sam odlučila da pokušam da uradim nešto drugačije. Kao što ste bez sumnje mogli da primetite, ova je stranica posvećena sportu. Elementu koji mi je veoma drag. Stoga je cilj da nastavim putem ove glavne teme, i dalje se razvijam odatle. Razvijajući svoju priču, kroz sve ostale vesti oko sebe. U slučaju da ste nastavili da čitate, hvala vam. Jer bez onih koji čitaju ono što pišem, i na to reaguju, nema previše svrhe mog rada. Zato sam zahvalna svima koji mi pomažu da dalje izgradim svoj san.

Kako se budemo kretali napred, i ja se razvijala na ovoj platformi, bez sumnje će biti novih zanimljivih sadržaja, u vidu stvaranja novih stranica na blogu, specijala, i nadam se još razloga da ostanete uz mene i ove tekstove… A možda se zainteresujete za još neku novu oblast.

Tako da, hajde da nastavimo istim tempom i vidimo šta nas to dalje lepo čeka.

It’s not sports related, but everyone loves a good palm tree. 🙂

Nema veze sa sportom, ali lepo je videti palme…

Siempre vale ver una linda palmera.
