It’s hard to beat the French from the Spanish – ra

“If someone told us in advance that we would play a match for the bronze medal at the European Championships, we would say that it’s great, we can start now. But I felt lost. Let’s try to look in the mirror: we were lucky with the group. We played well when we had to beat the Serbs. Position The first in the group, an easier opponent in the quarterfinals – now we leave what happened against the Czechs at the end. We won that fight somewhere, it was smooth and then it didn’t happen.

“Spain came in the semi-finals, which was the biggest loss for both the Belgians and the French. We lost, but I feel we still have some leftovers in us. We couldn’t get the most out of the trio of Hatar, Kees Virag and Gouri. Torrens could easily shoot the basket “Extremely, we also had a lot of turnovers. Obviously, that was also related to the fact that we couldn’t use our three tall guys very well. Things happened that proved that if we played well, we could make it to the final. We didn’t play basketball well on Saturday, Of course we needed the Spanish national team to play hard.”

“Without the ball, you have to play more decisively, more orderly, with a killing instinct. Most people talk about the player who throws the ball out of bounds, but in eighty percent of cases it is not the person who throws the ball, but the person who goes to the wrong place without the ball.

“It is more difficult to beat the French than the Spaniards yesterday. Although the matches for bronze are always strange, and there is really no favorite because it is a meeting of frustrating teams. But the difference between bronze and fourth place is huge.”

“The Olympic qualifiers are a big goal. We will be stronger and better by the time this tournament comes around, and I think this national team belongs in the Olympics.”
