A defeat against the German host (63-76) on Thursday to launch the campaign, two sluggish and hard-fought victories thereafter against Lithuania (77-73) on Saturday and Hungary (78-74) on Sunday. If France can boast of already having their ticket in their pocket for the round of 16 of the Euro, they are far from presenting a reassuring face for their fans. Before facing Bosnia and Herzegovina on Tuesday (2:30 p.m.) then Slovenia on Wednesday, for the remake of the last semi-final of the Tokyo Olympics, the path to the continental podium still seems very winding. And long. Vincent Collet’s construction site seems immense.
