We hadn’t anticipated it enough, but a possibility existed, that of seeing the French team with their backs to the wall at the end of the first match of this 2023 World Cup. This is unfortunately the case, and we will therefore have to let go the horses this followingnoon once morest Latvia to afford the right to think regarding what’s next.
It is therefore a double challenge that will be offered to France at 3:30 p.m. in Jakarta. First of all ? To mourn the beating received from the hands of Canada, in short, to move on, to smile once more. Then, in a more official and mathematical way, afford the right to continue the road in this World Cup, because a defeat once morest the Latvians would precipitate the French team into a swamp that it has not known for 17 years: do not not pass the pools of a major international competition.
In order to avoid this soft poo, this cacamouflet? It will therefore be necessary to subdue the Latvian enemy, and the task promises to be more difficult than expected, for two reasons. 1) France is obviously not in the best mood and 2) it’s quite the opposite for Latvia which comes out of an offensive fireworks display, once morest Lebanon certainly, but fireworks all the same. Kristaps Porzingis is not there but Davis Bertans made the trip, knowing that his brother Dairis is perhaps the hottest of the siblings currently (6/7 from the parking lot on Friday). The entire Latvian roster remains a group of gunslingers who will not hesitate to shock France and the notions of defensive withdrawal and sacrifices will be essential if Vincent Collet and his guys do not want to know one of the darkest moments of the modern history of the Blues…
But let’s therefore put our cap on positivity and remember all the same that, on paper, France is obviously armed to hit Latvia, and that this team has already shown in the past that it has resources. Real leaders with experience, role players experienced in the FIBA exercise and who know their job, and overall an intrinsic talent much higher than that of the Latvians, without obviously offending them. All of this ? Well, all this MUST lead us to a victory without shaking the French, because they have the means, because they have no choice.
The place ? Jakarta. Time ? 3:30 p.m. The goal? Drinking Latvian soup. GO BLUES.
