Spain is the first of two to play for seventh place at the 2014 European Championships in Budapest. On Friday Germany was defeated 8-16, led by top scorer Albert Español who performed a shooting clinic going 7-for-8 against the Germans. Spain, obviously awair of the importance of the seventh place, as it is likely to be the final spot to qualify for the 2015 World Championships (to be confirmed after the upcoming World Cup in Almaty, Kazakhstan in August), came out sharp and prepared gaining the better of Germany in a high-scoring opening quarter which featured eight goals: 3-5. In a one-sided second term however a fitter looking Spain squad started to walk away. The Gabi Hernandez coached side remained in control after the main break and even extended their advantage by scoring four goals in final eight minutes en route to an eight-goal victory.
Romania will be Spain's opponent in the battle for 7th place on Saturday. In today's second match the Romanians defeated France 8-15 in convincing fashion. Especially the third quarter saw the Romanians comfortable in control as they ran away from a 3-6 half-time lead to decide the outcome in their favour by then already. With Tiberiu Negrean as top scorer with 5 goals, Romania gained confidence for what might be a successful outcome of this tournament if they manage to take 7th place which is likely to be the final spot for qualification for the 2015 world championships in Kazan, Russia. Regardless, their presence at the next European championships edition, in Belgrade early 2016, was confirmed by finisihing the top 8 teams who will automatically qualify.
The young Russian team took 11th place holding off Georgia 9-8 in another tense match-up. This time however both coaches seemd to have emphasized their defences after the 12-16 scoring festival between the sides in their group stage encounter. And like the previous match last week the sides were pretty levelled for three quarters on Friday as well. It was not until the second half before Russia slightly took control. That became clear in the fourth period. Artem Odintsov, from the left wing on man-up and top scorer Konstantin Stepanyuk from a counter-attack on two occasions responded to get Russia a two-goal advantage (7-5, 8-6) and when left-hander Ivan Nagaev hit a powerful free throw with 3.00 remaining the game looked decided. But Georgia wasn't done, yet. Left-hander Damir Tsrepulia shot home an extra-man goal with 1.13 remaining for the 9-7 score. Although difficult, the Georgians tried to make the most out of it. But there Russia hung on, and saw Marko Jelaca's hit with 0.17 coming too late as they played out the clock in the final seconds to secure the 9-8 win and 11th place finish.
Semi-finals
First up was the home side, cheered for by a jam packed Alfred Hajos stadium of 6,500 spectators expecting nothing but a win for the final. That did not happend easily although the home team struck first and never saw their opponent leading the score. After a nervous opening it was Denes Varga who symbolically opened the score after two minute. Symbolically because he would go on to score the winner, too. But that happend later. What striked first was the resillience of the young Italian side who surprised many by putting up more than a descent performance in front of a packed stadium driving Hungary to their maximum. And that after a 1-3 score in favour of the home team at quarter-time. Pietro Figlioli and standout Valentino Gallo were there in the second period to level the sides. Hungary again took a two-goal lead but again saw that being erased as the best response. At 3-5 and 4-6, the Magyars looked well underway to a much anticipated win but Italy came all the way back in this defensive display to tie at 6-6, after Stefano Luongo hit a beautiful bouncer from the left wing with 3.49 to play. Norbert Hosnyanszky showed his talents by doing the same on the other end twenty seconds later to put the home side up 6-7 but the Italians set up a tense final phase by levelling once again as Matteo Aicardi finished a well-executed extra-man possession with just 2 minutes remaining. A nervous finish arrived in which the first team to score looked to be virtually sure of the victory. The one who took and became the hero when he fell to his left side shooting a beaitufl shot past defender Pietro Figlioli as Hungary now led 7-8 with 0.56 to go. Italy tried desperedly in the final seconds but when an attempt from Figlioli was blocked and Hungary regained possession the home fans knew the final berth was there as Hungary will now play for the gold for the first time since 2006 when they fell to Serbia in Belgrade 9-8.
In a course rarely seen the second semi-final of the 2014 European Championships in Budapest had emotions going from top to bottom in a match that had everything and featured a simplay amazing finish. In what was anticipated for as a close clash of the titans who know each other so well and even battled Hungary together in the memorable 2004 Olympic final, Friday's match turned out to be rather different. Although it was not the first time that Montenegro came out firing and simply outplayed Serbia especially in the first period already gaining an incredible 1-5 lead. Just one team seemed to be up for a win and started in unsual high pace with Drasko Brguljan and captain and absolute standout Nikola Janovic (2) quickly scoring their goals in the first minutes of the game. Serbia head coach Dejan Savic called a time-out but to no avail as Montenegro powered on and it was not until after Drasko Brguljan's 1-5 goal that Serbia did something back as Filip Filipovic and Stefan Mitrovic set the quarter-time score at 3-5. By then however things still looked very much in favour of Montenegro who were on a roll and just continued their display of finesse, speed and shooting talents in the second period where Drasko Brguljan and Aleksandar Ivovic shot their team to a seemingly comfortable 3-7 lead. Milos Cuk's hit on extra man with 2.16 remaining in the first half just seemed to change the half-time score to 4-7. While Serbia was struggling to find their rythm, they were slowly and surely were fighting their way into the match. No signs of a turnaround but now both teams were playing. After the main break Mladjan Janovic struck first for Montenegro giving them a 4-8 lead early third quarter before the first signs of a change of the Serbian involvement in the clash were to be seen. Stefan Mitrovic cold-bloodely finished a counter-attack goal after a Montenegro turnover and saw Milan Aleksic finishing an extra-man possession two minutes later as the Serbs were crawling back to 6-8. It became even closer when Filip Filipovic, once again stepping up when it counts the most, scored the 7-8 goal wuith 1.21 to go in the third period. But it wasn't that far though. Montenegro's captain Nikola Janovic had a brilliant display of greatness when he back-handed a goal in the buzzer of the third session from over six meters out in what could have been a change of momentum. Could...
Instead things went different in the final eight minutes where Serbia now grabbed the match by the horns and did not let go. Serbia standout Stefan Mitrovic rose to the sky on the post-position on man-up scoring above Montenegro's goalie Zdravko Radic' head as the World League winners now just trailed 8-9 and when Milos Cuk netted his second of the night, much to the delight of himself and the whole Serbian team, everything was back levelled with just 3 minutes remaining in the match. Still enough time to let it go either way but the momentum now clearly was in Serbian hands. It took them 1 minute to score the liberating goal to lead for the first time in the match. The hero was centre-forward Slobodan Nikic who finished a man-up play in its final seconds. Still plenty was to happen in the final minutes but now Serbia could rely on its defence, led by subsituted goalie Branislav Mitrovic who was brought in by head coach Dejan Savic at the start of the final period and turned out to be one the game-changers. Mitrovic was right there making crucial saves on attempts from Nikola Janovic and with 1 minute to go Aleksandar Ivovic. It fueled the defence who blocked a Nikola Janovic shot from the left wing on man-up trying to survive the final surges by Montenegro. On the other end Andrija Prlainovic, quiet on offence but once again a big presence on defence, got a free throw and tried his luck from 5 meter, only to see his attempt being saved by Radic although the rebound fell into Serbian hands and when it happened again from a Stefan Mitrovic shot, the final seconds were played out by Serbia who emotionally celebrated the come-back victory. They will now meet Hungary in a much anticipated gold medal final on Sunday.

España, a un triunfo del billete mundialista
25/07/2014 - España está a una sola victoria del último billete disponible en Budapest para los Campeonatos del Mundo Kazan 2015 tras ganar este viernes a Alemania —a la qué ya batió en la primera fase— por 8—16 (3—5, 1—4, 2—3 y 2—4). Liderados en ataque por Albert Español, autor de siete dianas, y con una defensa muy intensa del primero al último minuto, el conjunto de Gabi Hernández se medirá mañana a las 12:00h a Rumanía, que ha batido a Francia en la otra semifinal por 8—15.
La piscina de la Isla Margarita no lucía hoy su mejor entrada, pero España tenía mucho en juego. Gabi Hernández había planteado el encuentro a sus jugadores como un preludio a la temporada 2015; un premundial a dos partidos en menos de 24 horas. Dos victorias imprescindibles.
En el primer cuarto, Alemania ha logrado su objetivo inicial de mantener el choque igualado. Aprovechando la falta de ritmo inicial de los nuestros, el conjunto de Nebosja Novoselac ha franqueado dos mínimas ventajas españolas hasta llegar al 3-3, momento en que su defensa ha iniciado su capitulación. Un parcial final de 2-0, con dianas de Marc Minguell y Albert Español, protagonista indiscutible de nuestro ataque hoy, ha dado a los nuestros la máxima diferencia (5-3).
Del segundo cuarto en adelante, España ha cogido el mando del encuentro en todos los sentidos. A partir de una defensa muy intensa, los de Gabi Hernández han edificado una cómoda manga de 1-4 que ha situado a los nuestros con 5-9 al descanso. La sequía goleadora alemana ha durado siete minutos más, pero cuando ha llegado el sexto tanto de los germanos, el marcador rival ya señalaba el doble dígito (11). Tras el 6-12 del último receso, el seleccionador español ha dado entrada al meta Edu Lorrio, último jugador que restaba por estrenarse en Budapest 2014, y ha repartido minutos entre sus efectivos restantes pensando en el decisivo choque de mañana. Javi Bustos, que tan sólo había jugado un minuto contra Serbia, ha participado en 4´07" hoy, firmando un gran gol poco antes de caer eliminado por faltas. Al final de los cuatro períodos, un contundente 8-16 y la anotación liderada por los siete goles de Albert Español (que eleva su cuenta particular en el campeonato a 22 dianas, situándose como máximo realizador), y que ha repartido los restantes nueve tantos entre Marc Minguell, Guillermo Molina y Blai Mallarach (dos cada uno) y la diana única de Alberto Munarriz, Bustos y Balasz Sziranyi.
España se medirá mañana a las 12:00 a Rumanía, cuarto clasificado del grupo A en la fase regular, y que hoy ha goleado a Francia (8-15)

25/07/2014 - La Selección Masculina disputa mañana a las 14:30h (directo www.len.eu y a las 18:00h, en diferido, por Teledeporte), las semifinales por el 7º lugar ante la rocosa Alemania, conjunto al que los nuestros ya derrotaron en la fase de grupos. Sólo vale la victoria para los nuestros si desean seguir aspirando a estar en el Mundial 2015.
Semana de largo parón pero trabajo sin cesar para la Selección masculina en Budapest. Tras un martes de receso para recuperar la mente y el cuerpo del esfuerzo de la primera fase, los nuestros ya están a punto para hacer frente a los dos duelos decisivos de este Europeo, el primero de ellos mañana ante Alemania.
De nuevo, los nuestros se han preparado para un partido igualado y rocoso, tal y como ya lo fue el de la fase de grupos. La mayor dificultad estribará en recuperar el ritmo competitivo tras el largo parón competitivo de tres días completos, 72 horas que Gabi Hernández ha repartido en numerosas dobles sesiones de trabajo. El técnico advertía: "A partir de ahora inicia un nuevo campeonato para nosotros en el que los partidos (dos) que quedan van a ser a vida o muerte. Vamos a tener que estar muy concentrados".
Alemania accede a esta ronda como sexto clasificado de la fase de grupos y tras derrotar in extremis a Rusia en los cuartos de final. Completarán la jornada el duelo por la 11ª posición entre Rusia y Georgia, y el Francia-Rumanía, del que saldrá rival del vencedor del Alemania-España. Por la tarde, turno para las esperadas semifinales entre Italia y Hungría (19:00h) y Serbia y Montenegro (20:30h).
El Alemania-España arrancará a las 14:30h y podrá seguirse en directo por www.len.eu y en diferido por Teledeporte (18:00h)
