The battle for the quarterfinals

  • Published:

Latvia are hoping their best player Lomasz will come back, otherwise, they'll have plenty of problems against the awoken French team

After three consecutive wins, Latvia finally lost a game yesterday. But considering that the defeat came against Croatia, one of the favorites to win this competition, and considering that Latvia were without Lomasz, one of their top players, no one will be too upset over that defeat. After all, everything will come down to this game which will decide which team will go into the quarterfinals.

One could see against Croatia yesterday that the Latvia coach is making tactical arrangements and resting his team for today's game so Malmanis, Grinbergs, Cim didn't play as much as they usually do, while Lomasz didn't play at all. Vecavagars had a simple explanation for that:

- I had no intention of resting my team, but as we went into the game with poor concentration after the huge win against Lithuania, Croatia soon got a huge lead. At -28 at half time, it would be crazy to expect us to come back and I decided to limit my players' playing time as we had a game against France the following day - said the Latvian coach after the game.

It's clear that the biggest question is whether they will have their best player Lomasz in that game:

- We're all hoping he'll be able to play but you never know with that kind of ankle injury. But I would like to point out that it's not just about him, but that the whole team has to be on a right level if we want to reach the quarterfinals. 

However, it will be much more difficult to achieve without Lomasz, especially against France who are getting into good rhythm and played their best game on this tournament yesterday. We have already said that they should not be written off too early and they showed that very well against Poland. The result of 73-37 says i all, and the Frenchmen used their full arsenal in that game. They completely outjumped Poland, who are a very fine athletic team, and their defense got them plenty of counter-attacks, which is their forte.

They'll have a much tougher job against Latvia as the Latvians are technically more gifted than Poland and they have very solid centers who could match France in terms of rebounds. A lot will depend on Lomasz as it will be very difficult to attack the best defense of this tournament without him. This is a game in which every outcome is possible, and it will define the importance of the last game between Poland and Lithuania.
