If all eyes are now on EuroBasket 2022, we should not forget that the Women’s World Cup will also take place very soon, from September 22 to be exact. So it’s preparation time for the French team, which takes us behind the scenes through a very nice video just published on the Fed’s YouTube channel.
We had an 18-minute All-Access for the boys, honor to the ladies now. Less than two weeks from the 2022 World Cup in Australia, we have to start getting into the mood, and this first episode allows us to see immediately that Jean-Aimé Toupane’s group is coming well, as they say. Between Marine Johannès – arrival from New York – who receives a “super cute” welcome from her teammates, Marine Fauthoux who is always there to make her friends dance, or even shooting competitions at 5€ at the training, the smiles are numerous and the accolades follow one another. But who says preparation also says serious and we can always count on Sarah Michel to tighten the bolts when necessary. Opposed to Belgium twice, once in Pau under the eyes of the newly retired Diandra Tchatchouang and once on the side of Kortrijk, the Blues manage to take two victories, always good for confidence. “Everything is not perfect, but we must continue to have this state of mind”, said Jean-Aimé Toupane following the second match. A good way to sum up the beginning of the preparation.
A very good first episode, we can’t wait to watch the second one. And the second, it will happen in Australia since our Blues are making the big trip this Friday, September 9th.
