E. Fournier match against Lithuania: we are in the mood for revenge
“This is the European Championship, and we are playing two matches in a row,” said the Frenchman. “Several games in a row is very difficult and it’s different things in the NBA and the European Championship.”
“Although there are fewer matches, the intensity is higher here (at the European Championship),” added Fournier. – When you play matches from 8:30 p.m., you go to bed around 3 a.m. morning This is a big challenge. Actually, it’s like that for everyone. It would be nice if FIBA changed the schedule and gave more rest days between matches.”
On Saturday, in the match against Hungary, the defender spent 23 minutes on the floor, and on Sunday, he played 32 minutes in the match against Lithuania.
“Every game is very important here,” Fournier said of the upcoming game. – From the first to the last minute. It is physically difficult. Four games in five days.”
The Frenchman mentioned that the team wants to achieve revenge against their future rivals Bosnia.
“We’re in the mood for a rematch,” Evan said. – But the most important thing is how we will play. We will try to improve our game to be ready for the round of 16.
No one wants to experience two losses in a row. But our goal will not be to kill them. We need to improve the message and positive habits. To be disciplined.”
