España no estará en el Mundial de Kazan 2015
NOTA RFEN.- Nos hacemos eco de la información oficial de la Web FINA en la que informa, respecto a la Copa del Mundo Masculina de Waterpolo que se está celebrando en Almaty (Kazakhstan), que la derrota de la favorita Montenegro ante los anfitriones de Kazakhstan por 8-9 a 2.7 segundos del final provocó el delirio local y que la séptima plaza de España obtenida en los Europeos de Budapest 2014 sea estéril.
A falta de confirmación definitiva de la FINA sobre los países que finalmente han ganado su plaza para estar en los próximos Campeonatos del Mundo FINA Kazan 2015, la única vía para estar en el Mundial sería acceder al mismo por la renuncia de algún país y posterior invitación.
Conviene recordar que España -uno de los históricos en Campeonatos del Mundo desde siempre- jugó en el denominado "grupo de la muerte" del Europeo de Budapest 2014 frente a las campeonas olímpica, mundial y europea (Hungría, Croacia y Serbia) en julio, y que la clasificación directa era harto complicada, mientras que la indirecta dependía aún de lo que ocurriese en la actual Copa del Mundo en Almaty (Kazakhstan), donde Montenegro, que ha perdido el partido clave para nuestros intereses con una inferior Kazakhstan, ha jugado con un equipo B con solo dos titulares respecto al Campeonato de Europa de Budapest 2014 donde obtuvieron su plaza mundialista.
Una España en creciente renovación, no obstante, continúa su ruta de viaje para intentar llegar a los Juegos Olímpicos de Río 2016, en gran objetivo del actual ciclo, y se preparará para la Liga Mundial 2014-15 antes de los Campeonatos de Europa de Belgrado 2016 (enero) paso previo para alcanzar el billete para la gran cita olímpica.
Esta la Ficha técnica y el comentario en la Web oficial de la FINA sobre lo ocurrido en el partido que ha dejado fuera a España del Mundial de Kazan 2015:
Match 18: 15:50, 5-8 Semifinal, MONTENEGRO 8 KAZAKHSTAN 9
Quarters: 2-3, 4-1, 1-1, 1-4
Referees: Georgios Stavridis (GRE), Gabor Vogel (HUN).
Extra Man: MNE: 4/9. KAZ: 2/11.
Pens: KAZ: 1/1.
Teams:
MONTENEGRO: Dejan Lazovic, Marko Vukmirovic, Nikola Markovic, Stefan Vidovic (1), Darko Brguljan (6), Bogdan Durdic, Dorde Bulatovic, Jovan Saric, Radovan Latinovic, Nikola Murisic, Filip Klikovac (1), Uros Cuckovic, Slaven Kandic. Head Coach: Ranko Perovic.
KAZAKHSTAN: Makhmetov Madikhen, Sergey Gubarev (2), Yevgeniy Medvedev, Roman Pilipenko (1), Vladimir Ushakov (3), Alexey Shmider, Murat Shakenov (2), Anton Koliadenko, Rustam Ukumanov (1), Mikhail Ruday, Ravil Manafov, Branko Pekovich, Valeriy Shlemov., Head Coach: Sergey Drozdov.
Kazakhstan really wanted to beat Montenegro and qualify for the 2015 FINA World Championships in Kazan, Russia. It needed to win the final quarter by three goals. It needed to score a goal in the dying seconds. This it did. Even thought it was semifinal for the 5-8 positions, because of the make-up of the tournament and the fact that four qualifiers would come from the top six positions, Kazakhstan needed to gain a spot as of right and not to have to go to next month’s Asian Games in Korea and win the title for the spot. Now it has the luxury of competing knowing that it has already booked a plane trip to Kazan. Rustam Ukumanov was the go-to man for the winner. He obliged off a superb pass from Vladimir Ushakov from the top left. Ukumanov was on the far post and he took the catch with ease, turned dlowly and planted the ball down in the bottom right while the goalkeeper was on the other side of the cage. The goal came at 0:02.7 seconds and the crowd was ecstatic. Montenegro, now not bringing a better team to Almaty, will be looking elsewhere to gain a spot in Kazan. Montenegro always struggled and without Darko Brguljan, it would have been toast. He scored six of Montenegro’s eight goals and when Kazakhstan twigged to his potency he was pushed out of the way in the final five minutes after he had just gained his sixth. Montenegro took the lead at 4-3 early in the second quarter and was 6-4 ahead at halftime. This became 7-4 late in the third before Ushakov converted a penalty goal five seconds from the final break. Murat Shakenov scored either side of Brguljan’s sixth goal and when Sergey Gubarev went on counter to score at 2:02, the pool was set alight and at 8-8 there was a good chance for Kazakhstan to win. It came after a timeout at 0:42 and an earned extra-man attack. Kazakhstan was patient and sought out the right man for victory. Montenegro, shocked early, did not know how to finish and looked hesitant. Kazakhstan, however, had a reputation and a home crowd to protect. An assistant coach for Montenegro gained a red card after the final goal.
