Spain seeks the final against a host and devastating Hungary
BARCELONA, Jan. 22 (SportsFinding) –
The Spanish women's water polo team is measured this Thursday to Hungary in the semifinals of the European Championship, in a Duna Arena in Budapest that will obviously swim next to their players in search of a final to which they aspire, and with arguments to make it A possible reality.
After beating Greece 9-12 in the quarterfinals, and taking the rematch of the last 'semis' of Barcelona 2018, Spain is already thinking of a possible new final although it is necessary to end an undefeated magic selection until the moment.
Hungary was crowned European champion in 2016, and had previously been bronze in Eindhoven and Zagreb. But, in Barcelona 2018, he did not take a podium and it is the place he wants to return to before his fans. At the moment, he is doing a '10' tournament with five wins of five duels in the group stage and a comfortable 16-3 against France in the quarterfinals.
That is why Spain must work to the fullest and touch that perfection to have arguments to throw down the magic wall. He already knows what it is to win over Hungary, he did it in the Gwangju World Cup (South Korea) in the semifinals (16-10), and he wants to repeat.
Before Greece, the Miki Oca team gave signs of power but also of a certain offensive traffic jam. The good work of the buoys, with Maica García Godoy and Paula Leitón in front, of the sisters Anni and Clara Espar and, above all, finding the goal again via Roser Tarragó will be key to surprising the Hungary of Szilagyi, Keszthelyi-Nagy and company .
