Total Player 2018 by VLV

November 21, 2018

Today, our friends from Hungary joined in to pick their Top 5 in both Female and Male categories!

VLV is the Hungarian water polo portal with a long-lasting tradition and a rich base of knowledge on both the game and the players. See their Top 5 picks!

As for the time being, vlv deals only with men’s water polo, but the editors asked László Tóth, the assistant head coach of the Hungarian women’s national water polo team, to vote on behalf of vlv for the best female player. See the result below:

 

VLV’s Top 5 Female of 2018
