The Dragons' coach Adis Bećiragić and national team player Adin Vrabac addressed the media, writes Sportsport.ba.

- We are happy about the victory, we are happy that France also beat Croatia, which ultimately pushed us to Eurobasket. Thank you to everyone for being with us on this wonderful night.

It is nice to play anywhere in Bosnia and Herzegovina, we always have phenomenal support from the Fanaticos and other spectators. The players played well, so they returned the emotions to the audience.

As for Castaneda, he has only been with us for three days, and I think he is a player who will give us a lot.

He has good ball control, of course, he needs more games with this team. I wish him to be with us for another eight years, as I envisioned - said Bećiragić.

Next match against France - are we going for a win?

- I will ask the players that question: if we want to go as tourists, so I don't worry, if we want to go for a win, then let's go fight. We will try to beat France - Bećiragić stated.

Waiting for the result from Zadar?
- I tried to escape the hall, but I couldn't, I had to come back, you know what you've been through and you wait for those two minutes - he said.

Wishes for Eurobasket?

- I don't think about opponents, I don't have any specific wishes. After the war, we have problems in all aspects of society, but basketball has produced the greatest champions in this country.

We carry the champion DNA in our blood, and we need to awaken it. We should be among the best teams in Europe. Emotion is our greatest advantage - added Bećiragić.

Adin Vrabac then spoke.

- A great game, a great night, we knew we had to be serious. After everything, I can say that we have been together for three years, and with the coach, we are playing better and better and becoming recognizable in Europe.

We have great players, professionals, and we deserved this. We still have something to say, and we believe we will do it.

My gut feeling told me there would be no problems in Croatia and that France would win, and I hoped it would happen. In the end, we were all happy, both us and the fans - said Vrabac.
