This is not the final we hoped for. But it is the one that is imposed on the Blue after their defeat Friday in the semi-finals of the Euro against Spain (65-64).
Against Italy in the small final, the team of Jean-Aimé Toupane sets out to conquer a consecutive 8th medal in a European championship. As in 2023, it will not be better than bronze. And for the gold that has been leaking them since 2009, it will take two more years.
Faced with the Italians who almost created the feat against the holding Belgians of the title in a half (64-66), the French must above all re-mobilize, forget the cruel disappointment of a failed half. There is a charm to take so that this euro in Greece is not even greater.
“We will re -mobilize even if we will not have the medal that we hoped for. The most important thing is to finish the tournament well, ”promises coach Jean-Aimé Toupane.
The small final of the Women’s Basketball EURO France-Italie is broadcast live this Sunday, June 29 from 4:30 p.m. on TMC.
