Head coach of "Absheron Lions" club: "The Turkish national team has shown that it can become the European champion"

The Turkish national basketball team has shown that it can win the European Championship held in Latvia.

"Report" reports that Erhan Toker, the head coach of the "Absheron Lions" club, made a statement to the club's press service.

The Turkish expert spoke about his country's team qualifying for the final of the tournament:

"I was very proud. They played well in the semi-final match against Greece. I also congratulate the coaching staff. I have worked with some players there. I have worked with Kenan Sipahi and Cedi Osman for a long time in the national teams in the lower age groups. I also crossed paths with Alperen Şengün when he was 15, but it was very short. There is a very important issue. 4 players of this team grew up in "Banvit". 3 of them take up a lot of space in the main team. I am very sorry that we lost such a club."

E.Toker also spoke about the chances of the Turkish national team in the final:

"Turkey showed that it can be a champion. Germany is also a very good team in attack. They played well in the defensive plan in the semi-final. I hope Turkey will win in the end. I support the national team with all my heart."

It should be noted that the "ay-ulduzlular" will face Germany in the final of the continental championship on September 14. The match will start at 22:00 Baku time.
