Vincent Collet, coach of the France team after the record victory against Tunisia (93-36): “I told the players at half-time that the score did not matter. It would be a mistake to draw lessons from this game, that’s the obvious trap. We were serious, we knew how to work on offensive patience, the movement of the ball and we have to do the same thing against stronger adversity.
“We saw some interesting things, others less, sometimes we didn’t move enough together”
We often had first matches with a big gap, it’s not the first time, I remember Canada in 2011 (106-44, biggest victory of his term) and two days later, they were more dangerous (86-69). This evening, we saw some interesting things, others less so, sometimes we didn’t move enough together in the first half, we had a few air holes in defense without however conceding a basket. Tomorrow, we will train in full, continue to progress. It’s still the beginning of preparation, we have few (offensive) systems but when we want to move the ball, we already find solutions. Now we have to keep our feet on the ground and move forward. »
