After their successful start against Serbia (3-2), the French team gave Canada any chance, Tuesday July 30 at the Arena Paris Sud with a clear victory three sets to zero. (25-20, 25-21, 25-17). Against the weakest opponent in the group, on paper, Andrea Giani’s men had fun, waiting for more trouble on the final day, with Slovenia.
The first successful success. The Blues took time to find their bearings against Serbia, in a very loud room, with “pressure and tension”, according to Earvin Ngapeth, but they eventually gained momentum until they easily won the final tie break (15-6). A satisfactory entry into the running, from an accounting point of view at least, and the first step towards the quarter-finals.
The attack is underway. The French team won in the first series against the Serbians, with an attack at half mast (8/38). If the rest of the meeting was positive, there were 23 points for Trévor Clévenot and 22 for Jean Patry, the Blues mainly benefited from the inaccuracy of contrasts (31 errors). Against Canada, Earvin Ngapeth and his team will definitely have to clear doubts.
A more modest opponent. Before facing Slovenia, who were in the last Nations League semi-final, the Blues are interested in taking a big step towards the seemingly affordable Canadian selection qualifications, who have never been on a major competition podium. Canada is already playing great as they were beaten by the Slovenians for their entry into the tournament (1-3).
