Speaking in the Spanish media as adapted by FIBA, multi-experienced Sergio Llull talked about the two-time defending champions USA, whom Spain last faced in the 2016 Olympic Semi-Finals in Rio.

“It’s clear that the USA are firm favorites but it’s never good to think about them beforehand,” Llull comments. “We just have to follow our path, win our games and go as far as possible and try to fight for the medals.”

As for the first three opponents in the Group phase (Iran, Puerto Rico, Tunisia), Llull said: “We’re in a good group and we have to try and win all of our games to finish first and head into the Second Round on the right foot.”
