Germany, Franz Wagner’s words after the loss to France at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Germany was defeated by France in the semi-finals of the Paris 2024 Olympics, and Franz Wagner was one of the players who struggled most to make an impact in the match, failing to make his usual contribution. These are his words after the match.
Franz Wagner’s words: “After the first quarter they took away our rhythm. We have to give credit to their defense, they played great defense today. They out-rebounded us the whole game, they have long and physical players at the guards and wings. We didn’t play our best game, I think it’s both our fault and their fault. I don’t think we played our best game. Obviously they changed a lot from the group game: how they play, how they substitute, things like that. You have to give them credit for that. They made good adjustments and had a better day today”.
