Our next juror is one of the true legends of water polo – Alessandro Campagna. Few in the sport can boast his incredible achievements, having won Olympic medals both as a player and as a coach.
This past season, Campagna’s Italy narrowly missed out on the World Championship title after a dramatic penalty shootout against Croatia in the final. However, the team bounced back to secure a bronze medal at the European Championships in Zagreb, further showcasing their consistency at the highest level.
Here is his Total 7:
Goalkeeper: Marko Bijac (Croatia)
Central defender: Nikola Jaksic (Serbia)
Centre forward: Ben Hallock (USA)
Right side 1: Dusan Mandic (Serbia) – MVP
Right side 2: Aaron Younger (Australia)
Left side 1: Alvaro Granados (Spain)
Left side 2: Loren Fatovic (Croatia)
