Analytically:
On whether the team can bounce back after a terrible performance against Hungary: “The team has to bounce back and they don’t have much time. We want it very much and we want to get on the World Championship podium. We are in the top four and, unfortunately, one game did not go our way. We played pretty well and fought hard.
I am very pleased with my team and all my teammates. We did make some mistakes that cost us in the end. From there, we have to regroup and gather strength so that we look stronger in the game against Spain, which is a very good team.”
On the change in the level of the National team: “I believed for many years that this team deserves to be in the ‘elite’ of world polo. It has happened with the last events that we proved in the water what we lacked in the last years, i.e. we really believed it individually, but also as a team.
But always something happened in a crucial game we can’t get over ourselves. We have overcome this part and are showing who we are in the water. We fight every phase and every match and we will do the same in the ‘small’ final”.

For sure, it will be a completely different game. Everyone has to give 150% as we are facing a very good team.
He has proven that in recent years he is in the top four of all competitions except three if I am not mistaken. We want it very much and I believe in this team. I’m glad that we prove it in every race and we don’t just say it in words, but we show it in the water. I am very proud. We really want the medal.”
