Turkish national basketball team reached the final of the European Championship and proved to be a contender for the championship

The Turkish national basketball team has shown that it can win the European Championship held in Latvia. Sport24.az reports that Erhan Toker, the head coach of the "Absheron Lions" club, made a statement to the club's press service about this.

The Turkish specialist spoke about his country's team qualifying for the final in the tournament:

"I am very proud. They played well in the semi-final match against Greece. I also congratulate the coaching staff. I have worked with some of the players there. I have worked the most with Kenan Sipahi and Cedi Osman for a long time in the national teams for lower age groups. My path also crossed 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 a lot of place 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 has shown that it can be the champion. Germany is also a very good team in attack. They played well in the defense plan in the semi-final. I hope that Turkey will win in the end. I support the national team with all my heart".

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