Kalis Loyd, who plays for the French Toulouse Métropole Basket on a daily basis, had already made the decision before the championship but chose not to go out with it because all focus would be on the European Championships.
At least now it is clear that there will be no more matches in blue and yellow.
- I just feel that I do not have the strength.
It takes a certain dedication and strength to cope with it and now I feel it's time to thank me.
I want to be good when I quit, I do not want it to go on for many years and then I think that maybe I should have quit a year earlier.
What do you say about the end that happened?
- Maybe not the end we wanted.
Of course we wanted to win.
But I'm still super proud of this team.
We are still in the top 8 in Europe, says Loyd.
The national team captain Marco Crespi also left after the championship in Valencia.
