On the paper, Turkey is a better team than Sweden, but despite that they led the blue-yellow throughout the match.
- If you come in and underestimate, you lose. The basket is even in Europe and you come in and not focused, you lose here, says Alexander Lindqvist to SVT Sport.
Before the game, Egnell saw that there was a risk that the fierce framing would negatively affect the players, but it was the opposite.
- It's a huge profit. There is absolutely nothing you can count on before. What is so impressive is that you take on the task in such a professional way. The risk was that they would be ignited, but they were on from the first second. I'm super impressed, ”she says.
The big hero was Ludvig Håkanson, everyday in the Polish Stelmet Enea BC, who accounted for a total of 23 points and seven points.
- "Loud" was great and was the one who set the tone. He made sure they kept the match through all 40 minutes really, says Egnell.
Turkey have not yet won in the group, Sweden and the Netherlands have each won and Croatia has won their two preliminary matches. The top three go to the European Championship 2021.
- It is completely open now and then you have not played against the Netherlands yet which is the weakest team in the group, says the expert.
