Sergio Llull, a Spanish player, highlighted the virtues of Argentina, his rival this Thursday at the Tokyo Olympics, of which he highlighted his aggressiveness and defense.
We know Argentina very well. It is a team that plays very aggressive, that puts a lot of pressure on defense, sets you up a lot of traps, and plays at a very high rate in attack. It has players like Campazzo, Deck and Scola, who are a bit of the trio to take into account the most, its most important players , he explained in a statement provided by the Spanish Basketball Federation.
The Balearic escort recalled that the Argentines are the current runners-up in the world, after losing the final of the 2019 World Cup in China against Spain, and they will surely be hurt by having lost the first game the way they lost it (against Slovenia) , and that is going to make them doubly dangerous.
We are going to have to be very focused from the first second, play a very serious and very complete game, being clear about what we have to do, how we can harm them and control those weapons to have options to get that second victory which is very important for us too, Llull continued.
In his opinion, the Spanish team is eager, although they are aware that the Olympic Games are a very difficult competition and this year, with this new format that does not allow you to miss out.
We are happy for the victory over Japan but we are aware that we have not done anything yet, that there is a lot of championship left and we are very focused on tomorrow’s game, concluded the Real Madrid player.
