2013 Junior Men’s World Championships: Summary


Firstly, my apologies for the interruption in the coverage of this event due to technical problems that emerged unexpectedly  at the time.
 
Italian war cry

Italy was clearly the strongest team and got the championships title on merit. They won all their matches except for the draw with the hosts, Hungary, in the preliminary rounds.  The skills of Head-coach, Ferdinando Pesci’s, charges were excellent. Like at the youth world championships eight months ago – where the Italians also came first – in Szombathely they yet again demonstrated physically strong and ingenious water polo. The team had well-coordinated and sophisticated attacking and defensive patterns that could not be executed without the fine individual techniques of all its players but in particular Francesco di Fulvio, Andrea Fondelli, Alessandro Velotto and Tommaso Busilacchi.

Some of the Italian players took part in the recent youth WC as well. These results and, importantly, quality of performance confirmed yet again that organization of both junior development and senior systems in Italy is one of the best, if not the best in the world.
As usual, the teams of Croatia and Serbia were among the main contenders taking Silver and Bronze respectively. These teams’ final placings could have been different had the Serbian team not faced the Italians in the semi-final which they lost 4:5 in a tight contest. With due respect to the Croatians, to me, the Serbian team was the second best team of the tournament after the Italians.

The Serbian Head-coach, Vladimir Vujasinovic, was one of the best players in the world in the not too distant past. Under his guidance the team was well-organized and disciplined. Dusan Mandic, who is a member of the Serbian senior national team, Dimitrije Obradovic and Gavril Subotic, each demonstrated the level of shooting skills that could be subject of envy by members of any senior national team.  I was told that Obradovic and Subotic were born in 1995. If so, they would be eligible for the WC to be held 2015.

Croatian Head-coach and former national team’s player, Vjekoslav Kobescak, has done an excellent job mobilizing his crew and achieving an excellent result. Even though Croatia had a seemingly easier path to the top of the ladder due to the tournaments’ draw, this does not diminish their result. In crucial matches they displayed real quality water polo including by several players who are eligible for the next junior WC. On the way to a decisive semi-final – in which they convincingly beat Hungary 13:10 – Croatia dominated in the match with Australia 11:5.

The fourth place by Hungary might look like a poor result for the nation with great water polo history and traditions. However, Head-coach, Gyorgy Horkai, his assistants and players have made enormous progress within the last 2-3 years to emerge at this championships as highly competitive with other leading sides. In a quarter-final match for the top four position Hungary outplayed a strong Spanish team and were the only team who did not lose to Italy.

The US team improved its form and performance with every match of the tournament. Having lost their opening encounter with Spain 6:8, the Americans beat the same team, 9:7 in the last game to achieve 5th place – not a bad result given the strength of the top four teams. But before reaching this stage, the North-Americans impressed with their fighting spirit in must-win tough encounters with the Slovakian, Russian and Australian teams. In their ranks they had one of the best players at this tournament, Alexander Bowen, who must be credited for his team’s positive results in Szombathely.
The Spanish team won the preliminary group stage by demonstrating a smart and skilful brand of water polo. Perhaps, the main factor that prevented them from achieving a better result was lack of depth on the bench. Their overall very competent performance lacked sharpness when the main playmakers, Alberto Munarriz, Alberto Barroso and Marco Larumbe  had to be replaced.

Brazil was one of the revelations at this WC. In the past, this team would play very enthusiastic and passionate but not really competent water polo. That is how many people perceived them in Szombathely – to their peril as it turned out. Most of their opponents – including the top outfits – found themselves in very uncomfortable situations and had to apply all their resources to achieve a desired result – some belatedly. In the match for the seventh position Brazil beat Australia – an outcome that has not happened for a long time.
Australia had mixed results at this tournament. The team must be credited with their win in an important match with the Russians for the right to make top eight. However, in other do or die games the Ozzies did not manage to play consistently throughout entire matches. For example, Australia started very well against Serbia leading 3:0 in the middle of the second quarter only to lose 5:12 in the end. A somewhat similar scenario was in a match of principal importance with the United States in which Australia led after half-time only to lose the next two periods and the match 11:13. Inadequate fitness and conditioning levels seemed to be among the reasons for that fluctuation in Australia’s performance.  On a positive note,  Gabriel Addley became a revelation of this world championships often keeping his team in the game saving many difficult shots as well as inspiring others with his fighting spirit and encouraging positive demeanor.

Like its National senior team, the juniors of Japan displayed a very original and interesting brand of water polo. And it was not only entertaining, it was also efficient. Most of their opponents had to apply maximum effort to achieve their desired result. In the last match Japan beat Russia whose players were twice as big in size but could not adjust to their highly mobile opponents. It will be interesting to see how Japan will look after the new rules come into force in September this year as its style of play seems to  better reflect the vision of water polo that these amendments will hopefully bring.

The real disappointment of this tournament was the Russian team. In addition to lackluster performances in the crucial games against Spain, the US and Australia, the Russians lost to Japan on the last day after leading 7:1 in the middle of the match. It is not only the technique-tactical mistakes which characterized the Russian team’s performance that was upsetting. Whilst having good levels of general strength and fitness, the lack of fighting spirit and playing discipline – the qualities that used to be the strength of any Russian team –  turned out to be the core reasons for such hapless performances.
With rather limited resources the team from Uzbekistan achieved 12th placing leaving behind their archrivals, Kazakhstan. Uzbekistan’s Kirill Rustamov became the tournament’s top goal-scorer.

The 17th FINA World Men’s Junior Championships was held in the oldest Hungarian city Szombathely.The popularity of water polo in this country was on display once again with more than 2000 spectators gathering for every match of the home team. These spectators were not just watching but knew all the subtleties of the game and were reacting to displays of skills and/or referees’ decisions with competence thus creating great atmosphere.

Italy claims world junior gold - Szombathely day 7

To say Italy's men's water polo has a bright future ahead would be an understatement. After becoming 18 & under world champions in December 2012 in Perth, Australia the Italians took the gold medal at the 20 & under World Junior Championships as well beating Croatia 10-7 in the final on Sunday in Szombathely, Hungary. The opening quarter of the gold medal final looked to produce a well-balanced contest as Croatia led 2-3 going into the second period. But Italy struck right before half time taking control as they turned around the one-goal deficit in a 6-4 advantage at the main break. From that point on it was Italy who looked underway of completing their domination in men's youth and junior world water polo as Croatia was unable to break the active defence and did not take full advantage of the extra-men opportunities they gained. Meanwhile Italy consolidated in the third and decided the outcome in a dominant final term in which they scored the first three goals to lead 10-5 with 1.51 remaining before Croatia reduced the deficit by two goals in the final phase but knew they had to settle for the silver medal.

Home side Hungary was in action in the previous game for the bronze medal but could not stop Serbia of taking third place, just as they had done at the 2012 World Youth Championships. Serbia led by just a single goal after a high scoring first half (9-8), but delivered a major blow in the third period through Gavril Subotic and Dimitrije Obradovic who scored two unanswered goals for the 11-8 lead, proving to be decisive in the remainder as the Serbs went on to win 13-10, led by Obradovic and Dusan Mandic who netted four each.

United States closed out the tournament in fifth place holding off Spain 9-7. Leading 5-3 at half time the scoring was up for a striking course in the second half. The Americans scored four straight in the third period, looked sure of the win but saw Spain responded by netting four unaswered goals themselves in the final term. The two-goal lead from the first half proved decisive as Team USA held on to win 9-7 and finish fifth.

Brazil took seventh place beating Australia 8-9 thanks to a winning goal from Gustavo Guimares with 1.32 to go in the game. The contest had been a close one throughout with as the 1-3 lead for the Aussies in the second period being the only two-goal difference at any point in the game. Australia went up ahead 8-7 through a Lachlan Edwards goal with 4.27 to play before Brazil struck twice to win 8-9.

España acaba sexta en el Mundial Júnior 2013 ( RFEN )

18/08/2013 - España finalizó en sexta posición en el 17º Campeonato del Mundo FINA Szombathely 2013 que se ha venido disputando a lo largo de esta semana. Tras una primera fase excepcional con victorias ante EEUU y Eslovaquia y empate ante Rusia, única derrota en los cuartos ante la anfitriona Hungría y victoria del 5º al 8º lugar ante Brasil y derrota ante EEUU de nuevo. Buen balance en resultados y sobre todo en busca del futuro relevo generacional para ir alimentando a la selección absoluta.
En un partido sin historia donde las cosas no salieron, el 5-1 inicial de Estados Unidos -aunque fue contrarrestado hasta el 5-3- pesó como una losa ya que los americanos se fueron hasta un 9-3 que gue maquillado por un 4-0 final del equipo de Emilio Bautista, que despide el Mundial con una sexta plaza final, dejando el testigo a las chicas en Volos (Grecia).

Italy and Croatia to battle for gold - Szombathely day 6

A highly competitive and goal scoring sixth day at the World Junior Championships in Szombathely, Hungary, that included the first two games of the day decided by extra time, was concluded by two great battles in the semifinals leading to reigning 18 & under World Youth Champion Italy and Croatia playing for the gold medal on Sunday. The Italians held off Serbia 5-4 in a close game, ultimately decided by Francesco di Fulvio who scored his only goal of the game 3.26 to go in the relatively low scoring affair. Serbia got one final chance after Vincenzo Dolce got excluded with 0.26 remaining but Milos Maksimovic' attempt did not fall and the Serbs had to settle for the bronze medal match tomorrow. In which the opponent will be home side Hungary who could not keep the hope of the local fans of making it all the way alive. Croatia simply proved stronger and after taking the lead at 1-2 in the first quarter, never trailed. A nice comeback by the Magyars in the third period got the game levelled at 7-7 but Croatia regained control and walked away to 8-13 before Hungary scored the final two goals of the game for the 10-13 final score. ITaly and Croatia also met in the 2012 World Youth semi-final with the later winners Italy ending up victorious 9-10 (2-4, 2-2, 2-3, 3-1) in that game. Many of these players are present in Szombathely but both teams rely on shooters not on the team in Perth in December 2012: Italy's Francesco di Fulvio and Croatia's Ante Viskovic and Ante Vukicevic will be looking to make the difference on Sunday.

Meanwhile in the early morning ranking matches two overtime matches could be enjoyed. Uzbekistan standout Kirill Rustamov forced extra time for Uzbekistan against Canada scoring with four seconds to go in regulation for the 11-all tie but Canada ended up winning led by David Lapings who scored his team's final two goals of the game as the Canadians took eleventh place thanks to a 13-14 victory. Japan upset Russia to finish 9th, also after overtime. Atsushi Arai kept his team in the game by scoring the 10-10 goal with nine seconds remaining in regular time followed by Japan twice taking the lead in the extra time periods including the winning goal from Yuto Oono 0.33 to go. United States and Spain will play for fifth place on Sunday after winning their crossover games. The Americans defeated Australia 13-11 thanks to four goals each from Bret Bonanni and Alexander Bowen while Spain proved too strong for Brazil rolling to an 11-3 victory keeping the Brazilians scoreless in the second half.

The top four sides of the 20 & under men's World Junior Championships are known. Three of four preliminary round group winners could not be endangered with just one major exception. Home side Hungary managed to eliminate group D winners Spain from medal contention in a strong performance in front of the home crowd in the final game of day 5 in the city of Szombathely. The Mayars got up 0-2 through both centre forwards Toni Nemet and Barcelona 2013 world champion Krisztian Bedö and never looked back. Spain did manage to score the game's final two goals, the only ones of the fourth quarter, but trailing 5-9 going into that final term, a solid defensive performance by Hungary was enough to reach the semis in which Croatia will be the opponent. The Croatia, still undefeated in the tournament, were in control in their quarterfinal matchup with Brazil as Ante Vukicevic' four goals led the Croats to a 10-5 win. The other semifinal will see group A winners Italy taking on group B victors Serbia. Italy used a strong opening quarter performance (5-2) to beat United States 10-6, fueled by four goals from Francisco di Fulvio, while Serbia turned the tables after a 0-2 deficit going into the second quarter of their game against Australia. Tied at three at half time the Serbs scored three unaswered goals following the main break on their way to a 12-5 victory. Standouts and Partizan duo Gavril Subotic and Dusan Mandic netted three each for the squad of head coach Vladimir Vujasinovic, also their head coach in Belgrade.

España cae con todos los honores ante Hungría ( RFEN )

16/08/2013 - No jugaremos por las medallas pero la Selección española júnior ha demostrado que el futuro relevo generacional está más que garantizado. Partidazo por todo lo alto este España—Hungría de cuartos de final del 17th Campeonato del Mundo Júnior FINA 2013. Al final, 7—9 (2—3, 2—4, 1—2 y 2—0) para los magiares, espoleados por su público y también por su enorme calidad técnica, fieles herederos de los actuales campeones del mundo absolutos. Pese a todo, bravo España.
Hungría salió en tromba espoleada por su público y aprovechó muy bien sus superioridades para colocar un rápido 2-0 en el marcador. España, a base de oficio y mucha circulación arriba en busca del hueco, fue capaz de reducir distancias hasta poner un esperanzador 2-3 al final del primer cuarto.
En la reanudación Hungría se vuelve a marchar con un 2-0 que hace mucho daño a España (2-5), que además no se encuentra cómoda en ataque porque la defensa magiar defiende muy lejos de su portería y con eficacia. Pero los hombres de Emilio Bautista no han llegado hasta aquí para despedirse a mitad de partido y fuerzan la máquina (4-6) ante un grandísimo anfitrión. Un nuevo gol en superioridad de los locales coloca finalmente un 4-7 a su favor al descanso.
España tenía que jugarse el todo por el todo en los dos últimos cuartos. Pero Hungría no cedía en su defensa y España encontraba un muro sin resolver en el hombre de más pese al tiempo pedido para reorganizar la estrategia. Los magiares abrieron su máxima diferencia en el partido de cuatro goles, que mantuvieron hasta el final del tercer cuarto (5-9).
El waterpolo control de Hungría le bastó en el último cuarto para alcanzar las semifinales pese al 2-0 de furia y entrega de los nuestros. España tendrá que jugar del 5º al 8º puesto aunque su nivel demostrado le hacía merecedor de, al menos, jugar por las medallas. No ha podido ser esta vez, pero hay madera en esta generación.

Matthew Perrott shoots Australia into quarterfinals - Szombathely day 4

WaterpoloWorld| Thursday 15 August 2013, 21:22 | Tim Hartog
  
On Thursday in Szombathely, Hungary the four remaining quarterfinal spots were up for grabs as the second and third seeded teams of the respective groups met for the qualification round following the crossover ranking matches for the twelfth through sixteenth place. In the only close encounter of the day, the second to last one, Australia edged Russia to win 9-10 and reach the quarters thanks to a buzzer-beating goal by Matthew Perrott who shot the Aussies with the final eight of the World Junior Championships. It finished off a second straight comeback by the Russians who trailed most of the game and were even down 3-6 in the second period before fighting back in the second half. Barcelona 2013 participant Nathan Power put Australia up ahead 8-9 with 2.46 to go before Ivan Nagaev netted his second of the night to level the game again after Russia had come back to 8-8 previously. It wasn't until the final seconds of regulation before the encounter was decided with Perrott as game winner for the Aussie juniors who will now face Serbia in the quarterfinals on Friday. In other results South Africa kicked off day 4 of action in Hungary by securing a battle for the thirteenth spot after holding off Colombia 9-11 now facing Slovakia who convincgly got past Kazakhstan 17-6. The first of four quarterfinal qualification games saw Brazil grabbing the fifth spot by beating Canada 2-5, followed by United States securing their place with the final eight teams letting Japan no chance: 19-6. After the Australian win over Russia home side Hungary was up for a one sided affair with Uzbekistan eventually finishing with a 26-4 rout of the Asia representatives. Hungary will now face Spain for a spot in the semis in the final meeting on Friday.

After day 3 of action at the FINA men's World Junior Championships in Szombathely, Hungary the group stage was concluded and the group winners and quarterfinalists were determined. Only in group A, featuring hosts Hungary and Italy, the score between the two favorites was tied after three matches. But as the Italians just trashed Colombia 32-1 in the final preliminary phase game and Hungary defeated Canada 18-5 the 2012 World Youth champs finished on top and will have the day off tomorrow. In group B Serbia rolled past Uzbekistan 19-6 on Wednesday to finish at least three points ahead of the rest while Spain ended up as winner of group C. Thanks to the United States, who recorded a nice 9-11 win over Russia to finish second, the Spaniards, who held off Slovakia 11-9, clinched the group win with seven points. Croatia rolled on to win group D undefeated, with Serbia being the only other team to do so, as Japan could not endanger the Croats falling 11-8. Australia's rout past Kazakhstan 18-3 got them in second place as they will now face Russia for a spot in the quarters where Serbia awaits.

España, invicta, bate a una dura Eslovaquia ( RFEN )

España, invicta, bate a una dura Eslovaquia

14/08/2013 - España ha finalizado la primera fase de grupos con una victoria en el C ante Eslovaquia por 11—9, con lo que finaliza invicta con dos victorias frente a Estados Unidos (8—6) y Eslovaquia, y un empate frente a Rusia (11—11). En espera del USA—Rusia, España ha cumplido con creces en su grupo en este arranque del Mundial Júnior de Szombathely (HUN) y se posiciona ante una apasionante fase final.
En un partido duro, con lluvia incluida, España salió concentrada en busca de marcar distancias en el marcador aprovechando la gran eficacia ofensiva que está teniendo Alberto Barroso en este Campeonato. Eslovaquia, aunque siempre por detrás en el marcador, no se arrugó e intentó siempre meterse en el partido.
Pero España abrió un boquete en la defensa rival a mitad de partido (8-3) que iba a ser toda una losa para Eslovaquia y la mantuvo hasta un 11-6 que solo hizo que espolear al rival para salvar el honor con un 0-3 que maquillaba un resultado final de 11-9 pero victoria al fin y al cabo de los de Bautista, que pasan invictos con dos triunfos y un empate en una excelente primera fase con tres rivales de entidad.

Hungary draws level in final seconds - Szombathely day 2

WaterpoloWorld| Tuesday 13 August 2013, 22:25 | Tim Hartog

A shot in the final seconds on man-up from Miklos Csapo saved the day for Hungary on day 2 of the World Junior Championships at home in Szombathely on Tuesday. In the matchup with reigning 18 & under world champs Italy the home side trailed 11-9 with 1.20 to go after Francesco di Fulvio had given the Italians a seemingly comfortable two-goal advantage in the final phase of the game. But Hungary responded well with Szilard Jansik scoring with 0.45 remaining followed by teammate Csapo completing the comeback by scoring in the final second as Hungary and Italy finished with an 11-all tied game after both teams had won their opening match on Monday. The exciting game served as thrilling conclusion to the second day of action in the western Hungarian city that saw Uzbekistan, led by scoring machine Kirill Rustamovic with five goals, taking their first win of the tournament in the opening game holding off South Africa 9-8. The South Africans looked for a little comeback scoring twice in thirty seconds in the fourth quarter to cut the deficit to just one (9-8) but Uzbekistan held on to now tie Brazil with three points in group B. However clear leader of the group is Serbia who rolled past Brazil 11-5 thanks to a strong second half and especially final quarter performance scoring six unaswered goals. Partizan's Gavril Subotic scored a game-high three goals for the Serbs. United States also gained their first points of the tournament beating Slovakia 10-12. The close contest was decided in the final term as USA, led by Barcelona 2013 paricipant Alexander Bowen, scored two unanswered goals in the final three minutes including the dagger by Bowen (10-12) with 2.15 left. Either Spain or Russia could not claim the lead in that group C as they finished their exciting matchup tied 11-11. Spain could thank their senior World Championships start Albert Munarriz who levelled the game 11-11 with 2.01 to go in a second respond to a Russian lead in the final term. Munarriz' teammate Albert Barroso was on fire netting six goals for the Iberians who are now tied with Russia for the top spot in group C with four points while USA is close behind with three. In the following match Australia could not endanger Croatia who used an early 5-0 lead to record an 11-5 victory to take the lead in group D with six points out of two matches. In group A Canada benifited from the tie in the final encouter by beating Colombia 8-9. Nikola Mitrovic looked to put the game away netting his third of the evening with 1.33 for the 7-9 lead but Colombia responded through Andres Hinestroza scoring his fourth goal with 0.37 remaining. That time proved too little to force someting more than the one-goal loss as Canada now trails just one point to group A favorites Italy and Hungary. A matchup with home side Hungary is up next for the Canadians on Wednesday.

2013 Junior Men’s World Championships: Day 1 

http://erkinshagaev.com/2013/08/13/2013-junior-mens-world-championships-day-1/




The first day of the championships did not produce any unexpected surprises. Most of the teams that were considered as the main contenders met with much weaker opponents, with the exception of Spain V USA match.  But even in that game the final score does not reflect the strength difference in favour of the winners. The Spaniards led from the very beginning reaching 8:3 score-line by the beginning of the last quarter before allowing the Americans to reduce the deficit towards the end of the last period for a final score 8:6.
The Mediterraneans displayed a skillful dominating performance using the elements of the tactical trend that many teams employ nowadays – including the US - which is based upon the style of play originated in the Balkan countries, namely, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro. In a nutshell, it is mainly ‘pressing’ in defense with some ‘zonining’ but only when necessary.
With four minutes to go in the match the Americans had a chance to come back by scoring 2 quick goals to reduce the deficit to 5:8. But silly actions of Patrick Fellner who was excluded twice in a row for ill-disciplined actions stopped the momentum that US started to gain.

Australia opened its campaign by convincingly beating Japan, 15:7. This team’s best player was Paul Sindone who scored five goals and was instrumental in several other successful attacking combinations. Most other Australians contributed well to the final result, in particular Matthew Perrott, Tyler Sinclair and Lachlan Edward. Gabriel Addley was reliable in the goals by deflecting most of the shots that he was supposed to save.
The Japanese juniors tried to emulate their senior team’s original style of play which was demonstrated at the Super-final of the World League this year.  Some instances were impressive but overall Japan could not match their opponents physically today.
Japan V Australia
Japan V Australia
Russia had a convincing win by scoring 16 goals versus Slovakia’s 5. The preliminary group in which these two teams are seeded is one of the strongest with the other two being Spain and the USA.
The other results of the first day are: Italy 17:3 Canada, Serbia 21:3 South Africa, Brazil 19:8 Uzbekistan, Croatia 12:4 Kazakhstan and Hungary 21:3 Columbia.
The second day of the preliminary round will be much more interesting with the following exciting matches coming up: Slovakia–USA, Spain-Russia, Japan-Kazakhstan, Croatia-Australia and Italy-Hungary. These games’ results are likely to determine the opponents for the decisive play-off matches on 15 August.

Except for the Spain-United States encounter the smalles difference was eight goals as Australia started off well by beating Japan 15-7. In the fifth match of the day 2011 silver medallists Spain held off a fourth quarter United States surge to win 8-6 and collect the first points in a strong group C which also features Russia and Slovakia.

Francesco di Fulvio and Luca Cupido combined for eight goals. Devon Thumwood netted two of the team's three for Canada. After Australia's win over Japan it was defending champion Serbia who also managed to conceed no goals in the intire first half of their matchup with South Africa on their way to a 21-3 triumph. London 2012 bronze medallist Dusan Mandic was on a roll and scored five goals for the Vladimir Vujasinovic coached side. Brazil was the following team to gain their first points of the tournament. 2012 World Youth top shooter Kirill Rustamov and Uzbekistan suffered a 19-8 opening day loss to the 2016 Olympic Games hosts mainly thanks to a 10-3 score at half time. Title contenders Croatia and Hungary were on display in the final two games. Croatia led Kazakhstan no chance: 12-3. Ante Vukicevic led the way netting a triple while Barcelona World Championships bronze medal winner Luka Bukic was one of three players to score two goals. The local favorites closed out the first of action in the western Hungarian city as they took on Colombia in another one sided match. Leading 7-1 at quarter time and 11-1 at the main break it was clear that the home side could work on a favourable goal difference and as Krisztian Manhercz scored a game high five goals for Hungary they just did so and enjoyed a nice way of starting the tournament before the big meeting with Italy, a replay of the 18 & under 2012 World Youth Championships final, on Tuesday.

España debuta con un triunfo ante EEUU (8—6) ( RFEN )

12/08/2013 - La selección española júnior (sub 20) ha debutado con victoria en los 17th Campeonatos del Mundo FINA que hoy han comenzado en Szombathely (Hungría). Y lo ha hecho con un triunfo por 8—6 (4—2, 1—1, 2—0 y 1—3) ante Estados Unidos, un rival nunca fácil.
España salió muy vigorosa en ataque y los americanos no pudieron frenarles. Ajustaron su defensa en la segunda parte y el marcador llegó a reflejar un ajustado pero engañoso 4-3. A partir de ahí, España encadenó un score de 4-0 que, con 8-3 dejaba casi sentenciado el choque en los primeros minutos del último cuarto.
Una reacción al final provocó un 0-3 a favor de los estadounidenses en un arranque de rabia pero el encuentro estaba encarrilado y ganado (8-6) para los de Emilio Bautista en este primer choque del Mundial, siempre importante cara a los encuentros que quedan de la primera fase ante Rusia (martes) y Eslovaquia (miércoles).

Mondiali Under 20: l' Italia è pronta alla battaglia www.waterpolo24.com

Geppi Gambardillo - 11 agosto 2013 12:33

U20_1
I ragazzi della Nazionale Under 20 durante un momento di svago, necessario per "cementare" il grupo
Da domani la nazionale under 20 di pallanuoto comincia la sfida mondiale: un unico obiettivo la finale del 18 agosto. La squadra composta da ragazzi talentuosissimi, come Fondelli, Di Fulvio e Velotto, deve dimostrare che il futuro del Settebello non è poi così nero, come ci è apparso dopo i Mondiali di Barcellona.
I mister Pesci e Mino Di Cecca hanno plasmato in questi mesi un gruppo omogeneo e pieno di qualità, che ha ben figurato nei vari tornei di preparazione. Tra le favorite oltre agli azzurri, ci sono la Serbia e l'Ungheria del campione del mondo Bedo che gioca in casa, ma come visto agli ultimi Mondiali le sorprese sono dietro l'angolo. FORZA AZZURRINI!!!

COMUNICATO F.I.N.
La meglio gioventù nella patria della pallanuoto. Il tecnico federale Ferdinando Pesci, responsabile della nazionale nati ’93, già campione d’Europa nel 2010 a Stoccarda e nel 2012 a Canet Roussillon, ha convocato la nazionale per mondiali di categoria (12/18 agosto, Szombathely, Ungheria):
Lorenzo Vespa (Roma Vis Nova Pallanuoto)
Luca Cupido, Lorenzo Bruni (RN Camogli)
Nicholas Presciutti (SS Lazio Nuoto)
Vincenzo Dolce, Gabriele Vassallo (RN Salerno)
Vincenzo Iodice Renzuto (CN Posillipo)
Andrea Fondelli (Ferla Pro Recco)
Francesco Di Fulvio (RN Florentia)
Alessandro Velotto (CC Napoli)
Tommaso Vergano (RN Bogliasco)
Tommaso Busilacchi (Como Nuoto)
Jacopo Alesiani (Blu Shelf Carisa Savona).
Staff: Gianfranco De Ferrari Team Leader, Ferdinando Pesci Tecnico Federale, Cosimino Di Cecca Assistente Tecnico, Riccardo Assorgi Medico, Luca Mamprin Fisioterapista, Francesco Scannicchio Video Analisi, Attilio Paoletti Arbitro.
“Sono soddisfatto delle condizioni psico-fisiche della squadra, anche perchè questo gruppo, come ha dimostrato in passato, è abituato a disputare incontri di grande livello – dichiara il tecnico romano. Sarà difficile ripetersi soprattutto nel doversi giocare il titolo in casa dei tradizionali avversari dell’Ungheria, che davanti al proprio pubblico molplicheranno le loro energie. Un terzo incomodo potrebbe essere rappresentato dalla Serbia, una formazione tradizionalmente ostica e ben preparata. Con qualche chances in meno ma sempre da rispettare la Croazia. Questo è un gruppo allargato e mi dispiace aver escluso alcuni elementi che fanno parte di questa squadra cui sono molto legato, sia umanamente che professionalmente”. Azzurrini nel gruppo A con Colombia, Ungheria e Canada contro cui esordiranno lunedì 12 agosto alle 9.30. Partenza da Fiumicino il 10 agosto, rientro il 19 agosto.
