Victory against Lithuania (9/14/09)

Hello!

Today I write with a big smile because we have recovered a good feeling. This team is great and you can never lose confidence in it.

We started the game a little nervous, but knowing that we had to win yes or yes. From a great defense and counter attacks we got a sizable income on the scoreboard, and most importantly, we were having a good time. All of us scored, shared the game and defended. Like that, we won to a powerful Lithuania, despite their absences, and were left eliminated.

With the victory of Slovenia against Poland, we face the 4 games to life or death, if we lose we go home and if we win we keep going (my grandmother told me that I must make a piggy bank to pay for the medication for her heart). It's like playing 1/8 of the final against Poland. They are playing very well and in addition they’re playing at home, but if we are ourselves, who defend till death and have fun, it will be very difficult to stop us.

Yesterday, we counted on a special audience in the stands, namely that some parents have come here to Poland to cheer for us. Will they be the talisman that we play well? I hope this continues and we can celebrate something big.

By the way, did you see the block that Felipe hit on Javtokas? When he did the block, he did a yell that all of us on the bench had us laughing, and then in the locker room we couldn’t stop talking about that block (well, and that dunk in the face of Jorge too, ahem...)

A hug for everyone and I hope you have not lost confidence in this team, because the objective is still in our hands. LET’S GO!
