Aggressive Serbian opponents, blood spilled in Hungarian water poloists' match

Hungary secured a 17-13 victory over Serbia in a hard-fought water polo match. Krisztián Manhercz was the top scorer for Hungary with four goals, supported by Gergő Zalánki and Vendel Vigvári, who each added three. Vince Varga contributed two goals, while Gergely Szépfalvi, Bendegúz Ekler, Gergely Burián, Péter Szalai, and Szilárd Jansik each scored one.

Vigvári Vendel commented on the Serbian team's performance, describing the younger Serbian squad as more "nervous" and "annoying" than previous iterations. He noted their high tempo from the start and acknowledged that their aggressive, "fighting" style, which he termed "Serbian play," was challenging. Despite the pressure, Vigvári expressed satisfaction with Hungary's eventual win.

The Hungarian team is using this preparatory tournament to fine-tune their skills. They will play their final match of the tournament against Georgia on Sunday morning. Following this, the team is set to travel to Sydney in mid-July for the World Cup super finals, where they are scheduled to face Croatia in the quarterfinals on July 23.

This young Serbian team was much more annoying than the bigger, older Serbs; they all want to get into the team. They started with a high tempo, perhaps we were a bit surprised, they were brutally annoying, they were on our necks the whole time, they fought a bit, played Serbian style, but I'm glad we won afterwards.
