Jordi Fernandez wants another form of Canadian identity

World Basketball News: Canadian national team head coach Jordi Fernandez wants to create a distinct identity for his team. He does not want to assimilate Canada’s style of play to that of teams from the American or European continents.

Geographically, Canada is located on the American continent, next to the United States. However, Jordi Fernandez does not want to adopt the same style of play as in Uncle Sam’s country. He said his team had unique abilities and that made it difficult for Canada to stop them. Yesterday in the FIBA ​​World Cup 2023 tournament, Canada managed to place third after defeating the United States. Canada is one of the teams whose performance exceeded many people’s expectations.

“We have a different style of play, because of our physical abilities and our qualities. We are not a European team, nor an American team, we have our own identity,” said coach Jordi when interviewed by local media.

“It’s true that we have players who can run down the court after stealing the ball, and few can play offensively with that kind of speed. We make good shots, I think we are ranked 1st or 2nd in offensive efficiency in this tournament (FIBA World Cup 2023). People can say whatever they want about the game system or play 20 seconds to produce a shot. In the end, we created a lot opportunities,” said the bald coach.
