Settebello, Campagna want serenityà: "Good feelings"
National water polo team coach Sandro Campagna spoke to Gazzetta dello Sport ahead of the Paris Olympics. The coach's number one goal è to calm the environment and banish thoughts of the Pro Recco case (as many as 7 players of the national team are part of the Italian champions): "The clubà has made clarity immediately, without generating false expectations. Having said that, it is obvious that the boys cannot be serene, forò I have warned them: there’è an’Olympics just around the corner, if anyone intends to look for another team do it in forty-eight’hours or wait until August 12".
On the ambitions of the Azzurri: "Feelings are good, and some statistics testify to growth. I didn’t worry about a few setbacks, considering the heavy work sessions. Now we are in the unloading phase to reach the top. In what do we need to improve most of all? Defense in numerical inferiority è has always been our strong point, but in the last few outings we have been doing poorly, just above 40 percent. I would be happy if we reached 60 percent, that".
On the main opponents: "Since the Tokyo Games, five teams have gone on to medal in the big events: Croatia, Spain, Italy, Hungary and Greece. That is why I think they are the most accredited. Then among the outsiders Serbia and the USA, then France and Montenegro".
