Trofeo delle Regioni. Verso la final six

Liguria, Lombardia, Lazio, Toscana, Campania e Puglia si sono qualificati alle final six del Trofeo delle Regioni di pallanuoto maschile, riservato ai nati 2001 e seguenti, in programma ad Anzio dal 3 al 5 luglio.

Le fasi preliminari, con 17 selezioni regionali, si sono sviluppate in tre concentramenti: nord a Lodi, centro a Civitavecchia, sud a Bari. Le migliori due selezioni regionali per concentramento si sono qualificate alle finali.

"Il Trofeo delle Regioni  - spiega il tecnico federale reponsabile della Nazionale under 20 Amedeo Pomilio - fa parte del progetto Tokyo 2020, volto alla valorizzazione e ottimizzazione della crescita dei giovani talenti italiani. Mi preme sottolineare l'ottimo lavoro che stanno svolgendo i referenti regionali e i tecnici delle società, in collaborazione con lo staff tecnico federale, che tende a monitorare il territorio e individuare i campioni del futuro per non disperdere il nostro patrimonio tecnico, nell'interesse degli atleti stessi. E' fondamentale la condivisione di un linguaggio comune, cosicchè la pallanuoto italiana possa avere una scuola tecnica sorretta da basi condivise". 

I tecnici federali saranno presenti nelle diverse sedi della fase interregionale e nel concentramento finale. I coordinatori del progetto sono il CT del Settebello Alessandro Campagna e il suo vice Amedo Pomilio e i  tecnici federali Massimo Tafuro che avrà la responsabilità dei nati tra il 2000 e 2002, Nando Pesci, Alessandro Duspiva e Cosimino Di Cecca in veste di referenti per gruppi di età.

FFN: Strasbourg as a serious outsider

The (not necessarily so) surprising and convincing victory of Strasbourg against Nice (9-3) has not only greatly impressed people, but also had the dual effect to put Montpellier back in second place in the standings and install the Alsatians in the position of serious outsiders four days before the play-offs semifinals. For its part Marseille, that played in Lille without goalkeeper, preserved the essential namely the victory (14-16).

Saturday night when aficionados of French water polo knew the result of the match Strasbourg-Nice (9-3), everyone thought that this result was partly due to an extra-ordinary event in the game as for example, an exclusion for brutality that would have allowed Strasbourg to dig a crippling gap. But was this result so surprising? Marko Bratic, Nikola Sutic and Romain Blary (pictured hereunder) are each among the top scorers in Pro A (4th, 8th and 12th place respectively), Hugo Fontani, the goalkeeper, who was still playing three divisions lower two years ago, is a revelation and Romain Blary, in the center position, has returned to the level which made him the undisputed best French player last season. When the official score sheet was known the victory of Strasbourg took all its strength: nor did an extra-ordinary event happened in the game, or scandalous refereeing, nor Nice was overwhelmed with personal fouls (quite the contrary). The Alsatians’ victory suffered absolutely no discussion. Nice, deprived of Arthur Bruyère and the left-hander Michal Idzinsky, had no time to breathe since Strasbourg immediately put pressure on its opponent and took control of the match including a goal from Romain Blary four seconds from the end of the first period (3-0). A goal as a first banderille. In the second period, after eleven minutes Nice finally scored its first goal of the match (3-1), but Strasbourg immediately replied by Bratic Marko (4-1 and 5-1). In the third period, Strasbourg never released its grip on the match, and Nice could not benefit of the man up situations obtained (10 against 4 in this game). In great shape, Romain Blary opened the final period by two goals (7-2 and 8-2), and concluded the match with his fifth goal with nine seconds left. The final score (9-3) shows all the strength and determination of Strasbourg at the moment, as well as the relative fragility of Nice, which was expected to be much better in this game. One may recall that, last season, the team of the French Riviera also finished very strongly the regular phase, before cracking completely during the "Final Four" (4th place). Will history repeat itself this year? The beginning of an answer is expected next Wednesday.

A little more than ten years ago two years in a row Strasbourg, coached by Franck Missy had pushed Marseille, coached by Nikola Stamenic to a third match in the semi-final play-off. Qualified since a long time assured of the first place for almost a month, Marseille managed its end of season very quietly. In recent weeks the coach, Olivier Chandieu, even launched several young players without the performance of the team suffering. The 18th round should have been an opportunity to continue this turnover. But Olivier Chandieu was forced to go much further than he had probably expected. Indeed deprived of Rémi Garsau (injured) and of his usual substitute (examination), Marseille came in Lille without any “real” goalkeeper! Forced to "appoint" a field player, the choice was put on the young Matthias Olivon. When adding the absences of Enzo Khasz (injury) and Sébastien Monneret, Lille hoped to achieve the feat of being the first team to beat the provencal players this season, especially as the Northeners had nearly created a huge surprise in the first leg still leading by three goals at the beginning of the last period. In fact, the audience witnessed a very offensive game in which Lille, led by the inevitable Robin Lindhout (4 goals), made life so difficult for Marseille, led by the equally inevitable Simon Thibault (4 goals). However with its experience and the good performance delivered by its “interim" goalkeeper who even blocked a penalty, Marseille kept control of the game, leading from start to the end. With this victory (14-16), the leader of the Pro A preserves its invincibility, but it is absolutely necessary to quickly recover its entire workforce to face Strasbourg next Wednesday and Saturday. For the record, one may recall that Jean-Marie Olivon, assistant coach and father of Matthias was during his career, the goalkeeper of Marseille and of the French squad. Evidence is clear that heredity is not a meaningless word, even in water polo…

Montpellier, the last semifinalist, regained some colours after three weeks a bit dull in terms of quality of play. Douai, its opponent, assured to be in Pro A next season, certainly did not show itself very tough but Montpellier had greatly facilitated the task by inflicting a stinging 1-7 in the second period. Therefore everyone was at its place and everyone was going to stay at its place. For the reigning champion, it was a quiet game failing to be completely reassuring on the shape of the team, particularly with respect to the opponent. The really good news came from Strasbourg, where Montpellier had lost its second place a week ago, and where Nice has in turn lost Saturday. Montpellier will thus have the advantage of playing at home the second leg of a semi-final promises to be particularly open and tense.

La Rochelle swimming-pool, where Saint-Jean d'Angely plays this season, hosted the duel of the Spanish "goleadors". If Oscar Carrillo (6 goals) largely surpassed his compatriot Gerard Reixach-Boix (2 goals), Aix-en-Provence however failed to beat Saint-Jean d'Angely. Yet the Provencals led the score nearly all the game, being caught with only sixteen seconds to play. If the draw (8-8) holds Saint-Jean d'Angely in last place of the table it is extremely unlikely that the club may be relegated in lower division (National 1), to the extent that because of the obligation to play in an Olympic-sized pool, none of the clubs from National 1 can or will access to Pro A next season. In this match Oscar Carrillo 'maybe' ensured its top scorer position (70 goals). "Maybe," because some of his pursuers still have four games to do better. Finally for his last game as coach of Sète, Yannick Bonniou could not enjoy the pleasure of a victory against Noisy. Yet things had started well because Sète was leading 6-3 at half-match. But in this game where simulations and technical inaccuracy and happened far too often, Sète cracked, as so often this season. Gradually the Parisians regained confidence and eventually the final period was to their full advantage (0-2). The final score (7-7) with no consequences for both clubs in the standings, can leave a bitter taste in Yannick Bonniou’s mouth, who undoubtedly deserved a more beautiful end as coach of Sète than such a match.

LEN Champions League: Eger savladao šampiona i plasirao se na fajnal-siks

Vaterpolisti mađarskog Egera u 10. kolu Lige šampiona pobedili su aktuelnog šampiona Evrope, Barselonetu, sa 11:6 i tako obezbedili mesto na završnom turniru najelitnijeg evropskog takmičenja. U drugom meču, Olimpijakos je slavio protiv Breše sa 8:6, ali nije uspeo da se plasira na fajnal-siks, pošto na kraju regularnog dela Lige šampiona ima tri boda manje u odnosu na Eger. Hrvatski predstavnici, Jug i Primorje, upisali su nove pobede u poslednjem kolu. Dubrovčani su lako savladali Špandau sa 12:6, dok je tim iz Rijeke u derbiju kola pobedio Solnok rezultatom 9:7 i tako preuzeo prvu poziciju. Partizan se pobedom nad Galatasarajem u Turskoj oprostio od učešća u Ligi šampiona, a Radnički je pretrpeo ubedljiv poraz u Italiji.

U odlučujućoj utakmici za plasman na završni turnir, šampion Mađarske počeo je nešto lošije, pa je aktuleni prvak Evrope poveo sa 1:0. Eger je preokrenuo, da bi Barseloneta uzvratila i ponovo došla do gola prednosti (3:2). U poslednja dva minuta prve deonice, domaćin je golovima Vapenskog, Erdeljija i Sivoša poveo sa 5:3. U drugoj deonici opao je ritam igre, pa je viđen samo jedan pogodak, a gosti su prišli na gol zaostatka pred odlazak na odmor (5:4). Mađarski sastav je u nastavku otišao na „+3″ i do kraja susreta je kontrolisao igru i uvećavao prednost. Najzaslužniji za trijumf bio je Marton Sivoš, sa četiri pogotka, dok je jedan manje postigao Norbert Hošnjanski. Isti učinak kod gostiju imao je Albert Espanjol.

Eger će se u borbi sa polufinale Lige šampiona sastati sa Jugom, koji je bez problema savladao Špandau sa 12:6. Puleni Vjekoslava Kobešćaka su tokom većeg dela meča imali tri gola prednosti, da bi u poslednjim minutima utakmice došli do još ubedljivije pobede. Prednjačio je Miho Bošković sa tri gola, koliko je postigao i Marin Restović za Špandau.

Olimpijakos je pobedio Brešu sa 8:6, ali mu taj trijumf, ipak, nije doneo plasman na završni turnir, pošto je slavio i Eger. Posle prve četvrtine, u kojoj se vodila izjednačena borba, šampion Grčke je u naredne dve deonice stekao tri gola prednosti i došao do nova tri boda. Crveno-beli su takmičenje završili na trećoj poziciji, ali će na fajnal-siks četvrtoplasirana Barseloneta, koja je domaćin završnog turnira.

U derbiju kola, koji je direktno odlučio o prvoj poziciji na tabeli grupe B, Primorje je u Rijeci, bez povređenog Sandra Sukna, trijumfovalo protiv Solnoka sa 9:7. Mađari su odlično otvorili meč, poveli sa 3:0, a tek u završnici prvog perioda Damir Burić je postigao prvi gol za domaće. Ipak, u nastavku je Primorje stiglo do izjednačenja, pa se na poluvreme otišlo sa nerešenih 3:3. Do sredine četvrte četvrtine igralo se gol za gol, a gol prednosti su uglavnom imali gosti. U poslednja četiri minuta domaći vaterpolisti su postigli tri gola i stigli do važne pobede i prvog mesta. Najraspoloženiji je bio Kozmin Radu sa tri gola, a kod gostiju su po jedan pogodak postigli naši reprezentativci, Živko Gocić, Milan Aleksić i Stefan Mitrović.

Poznato je da će se 28. maja u Barseloni u četvrtfinalu sastati Eger i Jug, odnosno Barseloneta i Solnok. Bolji iz prvog duela u polufinalu će igrati protiv Primorja, dok će se pobednik drugog četvrtfinalnog para za finale boriti sa Pro Rekom.
