Dejan Savić, the coach of the Montenegrin water polo team, said that they could have decided the match with France earlier.

Our team won 15:11 and qualified for the World Cup finals, which will be played in Sydney this summer.

"We didn't manage to find our way into their zone in the end, we took too many risks. We could have solved it earlier, but then the game went downhill again. We survived the third quarter, but we had a bad game in the fourth," Savić told RTCG.

There's no time to rest, the final is tomorrow. Montenegro awaits the winner of the Germany-Georgia duel.

"I think we've done enough so far, but we'll definitely give it our all to come first in this tournament," said our coach.

Sharks goalkeeper Petar Tešanović noted that the conditions for the game were difficult.

"We played a great game, France is a serious team. We had a drop in the finish, we couldn't find our way to the zone, and the conditions were bad, because there was a strong wind. But we managed to bring the match to an end," said the "Sharks" goalkeeper.

Vjekoslav Kobešćak, France's coach, said that the difference between the two teams is huge.

"The difference in quality is still too big, that's how they beat us at the European Championship. They dominated especially in the first two quarters. I'm satisfied with how we reacted and reduced the deficit, but it was hard to expect us to turn things around. I think Savić put the pieces together, they're playing better than in Belgrade," said Kobešćak.
