The former Bayern coach Andrea Trinchieri misses the international recognition for the German team, which was so strong at the Basketball World Cup.
“For me, Germany is among the top 3 teams, I’m surprised that nobody talks about them. I find that a bit disrespectful,” said the Italian, who was head coach in Munich until June, on “MagentaSport”.
The DBB selection plays “very stable as a team. They have the best Dennis Schröder ever, and they are very consistent even without Franz Wagner,” said Trinchieri.
But he warns of Germany’s quarter-final opponents Latvia (Wednesday, 10:45 a.m. CEST): “They are a dangerous team. The whole nation is behind them and is pushing them. They are so enthusiastic, it’s never easy.”
