Toupane: “We have to acculturate everyone to the top level”

Jean-Aimé Toupane, coach of the France team, victorious over Belgium on Friday in a preparation match for the 2022 World Cup (74-55) : “I am satisfied with the performance, but we are still in the preparation phase, there is still a lot of work. The kids give their all, they try, that’s the most important thing. It is the guiding idea to bring young players to a very high level and for that you have to give them experience. On the lack of consistency, let’s not forget that we are in the preparation phase. We try to get everyone to play, young and old. We could have had a larger gap if we had closed the bench. We must acculturate everyone to the high level. The fluctuation seems normal to me. I prefer to have it. The score is not important, it is above all how we do things that counts. »

Marine Fauthoux, leader of the France team: “I am very happy with the collective effort that we produced. We didn’t give up until the end, we stuck together. On a personal level, playing in this Palais des sports de Pau is done. I’m happy, we can move on. On the content, I could have done better, I prefer to retain the collective match. There were too many emotions for me, the week was long, I was often told about this match.

Alexia Chartereau, interior of the France team “We are satisfied but we want to do even more. We must not leave too many moments when nothing happens in attack or defense. Against the big teams, we will pay dearly.
