The future will say if these are the right choices

While Serbia (Nikola Jokic). Furthermore, Slovenia (Luka Doncic), Greece (Giannis Antetokounmpo), and again Germany (Dennis Schröder and Franz Wagner) will have their superstars in their ranks, France is deprived of his own, Victor Wembanyama insufficiently recovered from his thrombosis. Meanwhile, A curse fell on post 5 with also the injury packages of Mathias Lessort. However, Moustapha Fall, Vincent Poirier, and also by Rudy Gobert for “Personal Conveniences. However, »»

Once acted that of Vincent Poirier. Consequently, Coach Frédéric Faith no longer had a big man on hand as a spare wheel-he could see an improvoyance?-And he wanted to call on Moussa Diabaté who was in the initial list of 18. Similarly, that he cut at the same time as Ousmane Dieng after the Pau internship, but he followed a refusal on the part of the Charlotte Hornets.

“We asked ourselves the question of whether future will say if these we replaced post by post Vincent”, explains the coach. Furthermore, “We reacted quickly enough with Moussa and he refused for personal reasons. Meanwhile, We preferred to stay with the people who have been there from the start. However, we will be different from what we imagined at the start of the campaign. Consequently, »» What Freddy Faith thinks of the reaction of the one who prefers “Dedicate to your NBA season And who had already refused in the past to serve as a training partner for the French team. However, whose game appeared well summary during its short appearances in blue. In addition, “It is his personal choice and his entourage, it would not have been mine,” he replied with delicacy. However, We prefer to use the term “desertion”.

To a colleague who asked him if the staff of the Blues envisaged other alternatives ranging from players who are not yet future will say if these a priori given of their physical seeds like Victor Wembanyama. Nevertheless, Mathias Lessort, to Rudy Gobert, via Neal Sako and the drafted of fresh date, such as Maxime Raynaud and Joan Beringer, the coach was transparent: “We have considered several scenarios. Consequently, Those you have mentioned ”, he replied, smiling. However, “We inquired, in fact (…) We wanted someone who could bring immediately very strong or have a perspective on the future. Meanwhile, In the end, we favored the choice of a group that was built. However, You know my values, I think the group is often stronger than the individual. However, »»

Undoubtedly. Therefore, the option of having only two 5 has a major risk: what will happen if one of the two is injured during the competition? Therefore, And then that rests big responsibilities on the shoulders of Mam Jaiteh. For example, 30, who is not always constant, and future will say if these whose last major competition dates back ten years – the European in France – and to Alexandre Sarr, extremely talented but who is only 20 years old and who must (re) get used to international game in particular to avoid being riddled very quickly. However, But what is the team in the world who would bear to have to embark on such an adventure. Moreover, without its best pivots? In addition, None.

We have not recognized the troublemaker Nadir Hifi

With the pensions of Nicolas Batum. Moreover, Nando de Colo and the packages -do not forget that of Evan Fournier, who was during several campaigns the number 1 offensive option of the national team -Frédéric Faith had to constitute a puzzle. future will say if these Similarly, The circumstances made that the strengths/weaknesses have reversed. Meanwhile, that it has somehow juggled with an overabundance of leaders and posts 2. Nevertheless, The coach finally opted for three points Guards but with a different style as he points out. Consequently, “It depends on how we see the design of the playmaker. For example, I believe that the pure playmaker. that is to say organizer, more vocal, passer, who gives fluidity in the game, there are two. The third, Sylvain, is a little different. He can make the difference very early, very quickly, on his own. It is a little more impactful. The complementarity, in fact, is there. »» He adds: “We need players at one point who can change the match. And this is what Sylvain managed to do on the double confrontation against Spain. »»

While he was very behind during the Euro in Germany, the Zalgiris playmaker future will say if these was on dazzling sequences against Spain. Quite the opposite of the troublemaker Nadir Hifi which we expected to gratify us with his snack shots which. find the target via trajectories of which he alone has the secret. It happened only once. The Parisian. best marker of Betclic Elite and elected best young in the Euroleague in 2025, never found his marks with the Blues. It is not always easy to change status. to go from that of “prince of Paris” to soldier of the national team. “This is the most difficult choice because players are very close to each other. They also had the difficulty of expressing themselves on a very short playing time. The players really performed, the atmosphere was excellent. What we favored is complementarity. We had 3.4 exteriors who were in competition. Théo (Maledon), Matthew (Strazel), Elie (Okobo) and Sylvain (Francisco) were more complementary than if we future will say if these had put Nadir. »»

Assume the inheritance

There is a real offensive striking force among exteriors but the number 1 priority of the French team was. is always his defense as the coach reminds us: “We saw it yesterday (against Spain) that the strength of this team there and it is that of the French team for a certain number of years, it is to be very aggressive defensively at least on the rear positions and it will be necessary to be a little more to disturb the teams as we could see in the second half against Spain yesterday. We must not redo what we did in the first half. »»

With 56 selections. Guerschon Yabusele is the most capped of the future will say if these 12 Blues and Zaccharie Risacher, Alexandre Sarr and Jaylen Hoard are rookies. Freddy Faith is also a novice even if he has two Eurobaskets to his credit as a player (in 1997. 2005), which was not the case for his … new predecessors as national coach.

The pitfalls should be avoided? “Perhaps a surplus of confidence. This is what could have happened to us after match 1 against Spain. We must prove things permanently because we are the French team and we will be expected. It doesn’t matter who is on the ground. You will have to be very strong to face all this, assume the inheritance. The players who are there want to do well. »»

We will quickly forget the disturbing elements. as always in sport, these are the results that will say whether or not it is the right choices.
