Raoul Korner, coach of the local men’s national basketball team, remains unfazed after four defeats in as many qualifying matches for the 2022 European Championship and looks to the future. “We want to beat Hungary twice,” he announced for the remaining games in February 2021. The team is on the right track.
In the Ljubljana “bubble”, the ÖBV team only had “15 bad minutes” in two games, the 46-year-old Viennese summed up in an interview with the APA on Tuesday. It was the phase from the middle of the first quarter until halftime in the duel with European champion Slovenia. Against Ukraine, “too many single points were left behind.”
Korner was convinced that Austria would qualify “a la longue” for a European basketball championship. The coach has also announced that he wants to “gradually bring fresh blood to the team.” Erol Ersek had already done a “good job” in Ljubljana. Sebastian Käferle, Israeli legionnaire Max Heidegger, and college player Luka Brajkovic are other names.
“We have to go in the right direction step by step. The company is fun to work with, ”emphasized Korner, who returned to Bayreuth for his German team on Tuesday.
