“I don’t know how we did it”wondered Kyara Linskens who, as in 2023, proved to be in the final of which she was one of the best players. “Stress may have invaded us a little in this final. But we did not drop anything. I don’t know if it’s more beautiful than the first title, but the game scenario makes emotion very special.”
A historic rise and a second consecutive coronation: the Belgian Cats are (still) European champions!
“A crazy scenario”
For her part, Julie German was very lucid. “We were put in great difficulty. At times, we looked at each other wondering what we were doing. At the end of the match, we tried everything for all in defense and then a basket here, a loss of opposing ball by that, little by little we came back. I have no word, I don’t really realize. It is a crazy scenario and I don’t even know if we deserve it.”
The floor then returned to a press conference at Emma Meesseman, elected MVP of the tournament for the second time consecutively. “I retain the collective titles and medals first. Much less individual trophies. Mentally, it was hard on the end and I was not sure that we could come back. But everything can happen in this game. I don’t think I have already experienced such a thing in my career, especially in a final. It is very hard to defend a title because there is pressure and you have a target in the back. time to enjoy and celebrate this success. “
