The picture taken by Pasi Liesima gets to the right home.

The most read thing about Iltalehti’s European decoration tournament does not apply to any match.

It does not directly apply to any of the players.

The story tells Iltalehti Pasi Liesima taken from the picture. There Miikka Muurinen connect in its own heights towards the basket.

The spectacular sample also reached the wall of the wall.

– sweet picture. It could be made a poster and sent to my mother, Muurinen said.

The story, in turn Jukka Peltonen interest.

– I’m a printing entrepreneur, and we can make that poster Miikka asked, Peltonen wrote in an email.

– I don’t need any compensation for this.

“A stunning picture”

From words to deeds. Peltonen quickly completed 20 posters.

– I looked at that match and read the story where the player said he wanted a painting for his mother, Peltonen later explained.

– I watch a lot of all sports. Now, in particular, these European Championships have been followed.

Jukka Peltonen got the idea of ​​commissioning the poster from Iltalehti’s story. Maarit Pohjanpalo

Peltonen has been an entrepreneur in the printing industry for over 15 years. Sometimes sometimes there is a particularly thrilling image on the desktop.

– This is a really wonderful picture. Well done. At the very moment, Peltonen admired the picture of the flame.

Iltalehti was responsible for delivering the package to Muurinen’s mother. Jenni Laaksonen received the gift in the lobby of the hotel near the Nokia Arena.

He is wearing a firstborn jersey.

– After all, it’s pretty two. He always hopes that too much will not be milled because he is still young. But on the other hand, it is great that he has earned that milling, Laaksonen told Iltalehti.

Muurinen only turned 18 this spring. Laaksonen worked as his coach during the junior years.

– Then I gave more instructions. Now I have consciously tried to move to the audience and enjoy the game. He has really good coaches on the national team and elsewhere.

“Own space”

Laaksonen played 68 times on the national team. He watches matches in the eyes of both the former top player and the mother.

– Miikka needs her own space. And needs it especially in the midst of this kind of grin.

Muurinen often comes first to warm up the Susijeng players. He has supportive headphones that exclude noise.

– Sure, he has always been very independent. It also tells us that he went abroad at the age of 15, Laaksonen continues.

– I was somehow mentally prepared for it. After all, it is exciting to let the world.

Laaksonen says that both in Madrid (Muurinen’s first basket of a basket abroad) and now in the United States there are people around the player to resort to.

– I had no chance to move with Miika because the little brother is still at home.

“To grow up yet”

Laaksonen himself played from the College basket in North Carolina. Still, he would have liked his son to continue in Europe for longer.

– Miikka himself felt a bet on going to the US. That culture is better for him as a person. He’s outwardly oriented. Wherever he goes, he can do there. In addition, Miikka likes a little show-meining.

After all, it is a passport topic, because just about the dazzling Donk of Muurinen, this thing started.

– As a child, he didn’t want to practice anything else.

The Susijeng tournament will continue from now on in Riga. Saturday’s quarterfinals determine whether it can be talked about as an athletic success or as a disappointment.

– It’s hard to predict. There will be a pretty tough resistance on Saturday. Hope the road will not break it yet.

Then the question of the whole basketball world: should Miikka Muurinen give more time to play?

Laaksonen rips laughter.

– As a coach, I can say that every player will get what they deserve. He is young and he is still growing. Miikka will surely get it when it’s ready for it.
