Zubac asked about Finland?

Ivica Zubac trump is important in the Croatian national team already EuroBasket. He came full of motivation to his first competition with the national team, especially inspired and inspired, he wants to leave his mark and it shows on the field.

Dominance in the racket, spreads everything in front of the basket and is a fortress in defense. Whenever the opponents pass our first line of defense, there is a welcome board under the basket. He collected as many as eight blocks, which ranked him among the most successful blockers in EuroBasket. He is averaging 11 points and seven rebounds. If only it were a little more efficient…

Today, from 2:45 p.m., Croatia will play against Finland in the round of 16 of the EuroBasket. Ivica scored 19 points in that painful defeat two months ago, nobody can guard him against the Finns and that’s exactly why he should have been our main weapon. But the question is whether he will play at all.

He sprained his ankle at the beginning of the match against Ukraine, he was not on the court for some time, but he returned when the match was breaking. However, it left its mark on him, his ankle is sore, which is why he missed training and the question is whether he will be able to play today. It would be a big blow for us because the Finns don’t have a defensive solution for him. We have height, agility and energy under the basket, which should be a big advantage for us.

– I rarely miss games, I played with all kinds of pain, and I will try this time as well. Physiotherapists are doing everything in their power to get me back in full swing – said Zubac, reports Večernji list.

And we hope that the magical hands of our physiotherapists will train Ivica. He will try to grit his teeth, just like Karlo Matković, who had similar problems after the game against Great Britain. We believe that we will have both ‘towers’ at our disposal because we have a tough match and a trench battle against the Finns, against whom we seek revenge.
