Greece has long since been ticked off for the German basketball players, but it is still very present in their minds before the semi-final classic against Spain.
Greece has long since been ticked off for the German basketball players, but it is still very present in their minds before the semi-final classic against Spain.
“We have to go out like we did against the Greeks,” demanded vice-captain Johannes Voigtmann before the game against the world champion on Friday (8.30 p.m. / RTL and Magentasport). The German team started the game against Greece in the quarter-finals with impressive energy and accuracy, winning the crowd over to their side early on.
“We have a very good quality”
This is how the final entry at the European Championship against Spain should succeed. “We have a very good quality. If we bring that to the floor, we have a very good chance,” said Voigtmann. “If we go there with 10 percent less, then not.”
Unlike the Greeks with superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Spaniards don’t have a real superstar in their ranks. Nevertheless, Voigtmann is not surprised by the semi-finals of the three-time European champion. “The Spaniards have never been named before, but they still finished top of the group and knocked out Lithuania,” said the 29-year-old. “No matter who plays for the Spaniards, they are always there. They have a very good coach so I’m not really surprised.”
