“In terms of the composition, I don’t see that it is obvious that we have sunk. Therefore, we must play good basketball as usual. We have not lost, because we have no pressure on the result. We do not underestimate or overestimate the National team of Netherlands. We will show good basketball. is considered an outsider, but we do not have a changeable mood – there is a plan, developments that we will implement.
Of course, we have a small chance to get to the World Cup, not everything depends on us, but as long as we have at least 1%, we will try to use it at any cost. No one will give up. My opinion is that we should be in the World Cup. Let’s try to make the most of this situation.
In any case, during this window we must take revenge on Iceland. If we talk about the chances of getting into the World Cup, then the game in Iceland will be decisive. Therefore, we will go to the game with the Netherlands more calmly, and in the next game we will tear our ass to the maximum,” said Kravtsov.
