Henri Drell accepted the blame after Estonia’s basketball team suffered a 67-96 defeat by Finland at a sold-out Unibet Arena.

The potential national-team leader said the qualifying window had gone badly, with Estonia also falling short against Hungary. Speaking about 45 minutes after the Finland game, Drell said he had failed to carry the team in the areas expected of a leader.

“You can crucify me, I am to blame. These two games are definitely my fault,” Drell said. He added that he had not led the team in defense, offense or outside the basketball court as he wanted to.

You can crucify me, I am to blame. These two games are definitely my fault. As a leader, as I want to be, I failed to carry the team in defense, offense or outside the basketball court.
