Fournier: The Iranian basketball team will have a good future

According to IRNA, Ivan Fournier French national team player regarding the game with Iran in the Tokyo Olympics; He stated: It is not possible to judge the Iranian team with one game. Iran had a tough game against the Czech Republic and may have been somewhat tired. We always focus on ourselves in games, not on the opposing team. We have a history of playing against the Iranian team in 2014 in Spain, a competition that was very close and we could have lost. Iran is a respectable team.

He added: “Iran has good players who, if allowed, will shoot well and play physically and under pressure.” The Iranian team will have a good lineup and a good future.

“Currently our focus is on the quarter-finals and we are moving forward game by game,” Fournier said of France’s most important gold medal rival. Playing with any team in the quarter-finals of the Olympics is definitely a good team, and of course all teams have their own strengths and weaknesses.

In a message to his fans in Iran, he said: “I am grateful to my fans in Iran and I hope one day I can see them up close.”
