Slovenian representative Vlatko Cancar was visibly depressed after losing to Poland in the EuroBasket quarterfinals, but he also said that it was clear that there were no easy opponents.
Slovenia fought, fought but did not win. Cancar, who was one of the better individuals in the ranks of Slovenia, points out that despite everything, he is proud of his teammates.
- That is the charm of sport. Now we realized that everyone plays basketball and that there is no longer a bad opponent. I can only congratulate Poland and say that I am proud of my boys – said Cancar.
Slovenia’s basketball players had a deficit of 23 points, but in the third quarter they completely caught up with their opponents with an incredible streak.
- I think that deconcentration cost us the victory. We tried to go back, at one point we succeeded, but it was very difficult. You are behind the whole game, and the Poles, as an experienced team, did not allow us to make a breakthrough – said Cancar.
In the end, the representative of Slovenia emphasized the great fighting spirit of the Poles.
- Surely, it is something that adorns the Polish national team. But everything we gave them is because of us, because we made a lot of mistakes – Cancar concluded.
