THE OPINIONS OF THE NATIONAL TEAM COACH
(M. Alain WEISZ): "It's a great honor to succeed Jean-Pierre de Vincenzy at the head of the French basketball men team, vice olympic champion in Sydney. Indeed that this European Championship will be very tough. All the teams are waiting for us, and we know that it's even more harder to stay at the top than to reach it. Play against Turkey is never easy. Furthemore we remember that we were in Sydney thanks to a very short victory in the final quarter of the last European Championship in France. I'm sure that the national Turkish team will do it's best to prepare itself and honnour it's country. We also keep in mind that playing vs Turkey is difficult, the crowd is always behind the team, and our international players know by experience that all the spectators will always be the sixth men on the court."
