France is preparing to compete in the European basketball championship in Slovenia, from 4 to 22 September. The goal for the Blues is to win the first international title in their history. It is the dream of Boris Diaw, winner Euro Juniors in 2000. The Franco-Senegalese hopes to recur in the coming European championship in Slovenia.
“I always felt very proud to be called one of the best French players. Secondly, the fact of winning the European Championship in Croatia against the Croats with the France juniors’ team, with Tony Parker, Ronny Turiaf, Yacouba Diawara, Mickael Pietrus, cemented my love for the team of France. We have always been happy and proud to represent France, but this title has given us such joy then we wanted to get it each summer. Earning all together, with friends, is an amazing feeling, “he told Le Parisien relayed by The 10sport.
