Intro:

Serbia trained in Madrid on Thursday (11 September) ahead of the Basketball FIBA World Cup semi-final match against France.

Script:

"We don't have the arrogance to say who's better for us. We're just a team that are very honoured to play European champions, the French team. There is a reason why they're here in the semi-finals: they were better last night than the Spanish team and they have a lot, a lot of credit to be in the semi-finals. They really play the great game and they're a great team with a great organisation. Coach Collet did a great job not only this year but also the last few years, and they have the personality number one of this tournament: Boris Diaw, who's leaving his mark again after a great NBA season".

"It's a fact, we cannot change it but we can, of course, learn from that loss. And we will. It can help but, on the other hand, it has nothing to do with the game tomorrow. It's a completely new game with two new teams. Their way of playing is new, better than in the group phase".
