Tahir Bakshiyev: "The whole championship was interesting, there were surprises too"

In the final match of the European Championship between the German and Turkish national basketball teams, the German team was luckier.

Idman.biz reports that this was stated to "Report" by the head coach of the Azerbaijani national team, Tahir Bakshiyev.

He evaluated the final match between Turkey and Germany: "The decisive match was very interesting. The game between Germany and Turkey was almost at the same level. In the end, the German team made the shots more accurately. This is a very important factor. There is fatigue and stress in the last minutes. The Germans were luckier. They were well prepared for the game. Of course, we were rooting for Turkey and wanted them to be champions. Despite being young, Alperen Şenğün was playing very well. I can also mention Cedi Osman. In general, I haven't watched such an interesting championship for a long time."

He called the failure of the Serbian and French national teams to reach the top eight a sensation: "Not only the final, but the whole championship was interesting. There were surprises too. The biggest surprise for me, of course, was the Finnish team's advance to the top four. Teams like Serbia and France, on the other hand, failed to even make the top eight, let alone the top four. This can also be called a big sensation."

It should be noted that the Turkish national team lost to Germany 83:88 in the final and won the silver medals of the European Championship.
