The Blues are on a walk of happiness. They will face Spain in the Euro basketball final on Sunday, September 18. “You mustn’t miss it, but the players are ready“, assures Boris Diaw, general manager and former captain of the French basketball team, to RTL. “They are hot as embers.”
He recognizes the ups and downs during this competition, a “fairly difficult course so far” and a complicated group stage with “cleaver matches” in the eighth and quarter-finals. “We have a team that has been able to manage the end of the match, to make stops when necessary”, admits the European champion in 2013 who highlights the “maturity” of the Blues.
The group, for several years, has had a string of medals and results; and wants to continue this momentum. This will require defeating its best enemy, Spain. “We are on a great rivalry that has existed for a few years. Spain have a very good level and we often find them on our way.”
