Al-Sous: “Proud of the battle that Jordan fought”

Proud of her effort Jordan despite losing to New Zealand said the team’s coach, Wessam Al-Sous, during the extra time.

“Congratulations to New Zealand for the win, but also to my players because they fought hard, we came back in the match, we went to extra time, but we didn’t last until the end. In the end we missed several opportunities to go ahead. I told my players I was proud of them and how they fought. We are definitely improving, I know we lost two games, but we had 6-7 very good quarters and only a few bad ones, like the fourth against Greece. I want us to make the Jordanians believe that we can be competitive and believe in us“, he emphasized.

On the player side, Freddy Ibrahim, who had 22 points, said:We have faced New Zealand many times. We felt we could win, we gave everything and it’s a shame we didn’t make it in the end. Rhodey was amazing, we’re talking about an NBA level player who never imposed himself on us but earned our respect because he’s a great person. It’s a pleasure to work with you and help me with our advice. We want to be competitive in the game against the USA as well».
