Spain coach on Finland: “The toughest opponent”
The 61-year-old Italian expert, who heads the Spanish team, admitted that he has serious concerns about the outcome of the upcoming match against the Scandinavians. Scariolo is afraid of the match they will play against the leader of the Finnish team, Lauri Markkanen.
“It’s the toughest opponent I’ve ever had to prepare for because of his playing style. It’s very difficult to prepare tactically for an opponent like this who plays unique, unconventional, very effective. He’s got five shooters, he’s a top star, he’s hitting threes more often and better on fast attacks than he’s running.
This is a team that will drive you crazy if you let it play. “It’s a tough team and we’ll see if we can mentally handle the stress of the EuroBasket quarterfinals.”
EuroBasket 1/4 final match Spain – Finland will start today, Tuesday, September 13 at 18:00 Kyiv time.
