Edon Maxhuni became the first player in front of the media. The game maker’s smile reached the ear.
– We have improved in every game. Now we showed where we could. The first goal was to get to Riga, and from now on, the right games started, Maxhuni started.
In the Latvian capital, the follow-up games of this European Championship will be played. Now the place has been confirmed there.
However, it is not enough for Susijeng.
– We want to be the first or the second in this block.
This means that Finland should win either Lithuania on Monday or Germany on Wednesday – or both.
– We watched the mistakes of the first two matches and fixed them. This is a long tournament. This is a marathon. We don’t want to be in our first game at our best, we want to be in the last one.
Of course, Lithuania is higher in fiba ranges than Finland. But Susijengi gets strong support from the Tampere home audience.
– We killed Lithuania a couple of years ago. We have every chance to do it again.
– Self -confidence is high.
Maxhuni also wants to hug fans in Riga as well. Now is the last moment to book flights and hotels.
– I have said since the beginning of the summer that tickets are worth buying. I believe there will be a lot of people there. If you haven’t got a ticket yet, do it now.
