“In any game, if you don’t have the right leader on the court and you don’t start the game well, then it will cause anxiety, and if you don’t have enough experience, it will lead to unnecessary difficult moments.

“There is not much room for fault tolerance. We handled the Warsaw and Budapest games very well, and this may be the key to the qualifying round.
“In the past year, we have responded well to every obstacle we encountered. In these obstacles, we have formed a sharp contrast with the quality of our opponents.
