But you achieved perfection in Seville. And the final outcome was that we lost the game. The most important statistic in the end, and the only one that really counts, is the final score. You place a great emphasis on the System. The System is everything.
Water polo is a team sport which requires all the players to be interdependent upon each other.
When I was a player I thought of myself as a very outstanding player who was neglected and unappreciated by the coach. I was very bitter against the coach for many years because he never recognized my talent. But as a player, I never realized the importance of the System. This coach was Mr. Vlacho Orlic, who I now regard as the most brilliant water polo mind in the world. A real genius.
