Despite China’s man to man defence, the speed and precision of Serbia, tonight playing in white, was undeniable. It has to be mentioned that team China was showing off mostly very young players, considering their most experienced generation is on their way to a well deserved retirement. Nevertheless, we are definitely going to be hearing some of these names in the years to come. Especially as the style of the European players blends with the strong Chinese work ethics.

As we await a potentially very interesting match between China and Serbia in their last match of the Group stage at the Rio Olympics, there are a lot of stakes to be taken into consideration.

In case of a win, Serbia will get into the knockout stage of the competition, for the first time as an independent state. A truly historical success for a generation that has a lot at stake. The players of Aleksandar Đorđević, lead by captain Miloš Teodosić are on their first ever Olympics, and expectations from the team, and back home are running high.

China on the other hand is looking for international confirmation of their rising popularity in basketball. Despite the importance, the atmosphere is expected to be sports worthy.…

Delfini su savladali motivisane Japance za prolazak u četvrtfinale Olimpijskog turnira. Prva četvrtina, za zaborav. Odbrana, briljirala, Filipović najkorisniji.

Selekcija Japana odigrala je verovatno najbolju utakmicu na čitavom turniru i povela sa šokantnih 5:2. Tokom pauze, selektor Dejan Savić je uspeo da razdrma svoje igrače, što se videlo kroz golove fenomenalnog Filipa Filipovića i Miloša Ćuka. Uprkos nepreciznoj večeri iz ugla strelca, Andrija Prlainović je donekle uspeo da asistencijama nadoknadi propušteno.

Drugo poluvreme donelo je promenu golmana, ali i znatno snažniju odbranu. Briljirao je Gojko Pijetlović među stativama, odbranio peterac, ali i sprečio povratak eventualne rezultatske neizvesnosti u meč. Ekipa Japana igrala je stihijski, brzo i shodno svom nacionalnom temperamentu. Međutim, klasa srpskih vaterpolista, ponovo se pokazala kroz dalji tok meča i osigurala prolaz Delfina u okrilje najboljih osam.

Ovo je ukupno druga pobeda naše reprezentacije. Srbija se trenutno nalazi na drugoj poziciji u grupi sa 6 bodova, a najverovatnije će se susresti sa Italijom u nastavku takmičenja, koja je treća. Međutim, u slučaju pobede Brazila nad Mađarskom, čeka nas derbi protiv Hrvatske.

Za sada, Srbija ima prilike da odahne. Zatim i ozbiljno porazmisli o regrupisanju, kako bi naredne partije tekle znatno lakše po plave delfine.

Waterpolo: Serbia beats Australia

U svom do sada najvažnijem meču, reprezentacija Srbije, savladala je Australiju sa 10:8! Rezultat koji dopušta lakše disanje ekipi Dejana Savića, ali i navijačima koji uprkos vremenskoj razlici prate Igre u Riju.

Delfini su nadvladali sopstveni nedostatak koncentracije, te su se u četvrtoj četvrtini kroz peterac Andrije Prlainovića, a zatim i pogotke Nikole Jakšića, Filipa Filipovića i Slobodana Nikića konačno rezultatski odvojili od veoma motivisanog protivnika.

Deseti gol, bio je svojevrsni šlag na tortu, kojim je obeležena prva pobeda Delfina u Riju, za nadamo se povratak u dobro poznate vode dostojne evropskih i svetskih šampiona, koje su večeras sa tribina bodrili i košarkaši.
