The situation was complicated at once! Beaten to everyone’s surprise on Sunday by Israel (69-82) on the 3rd day of the Euro group matches, the players of the French basketball team no longer have the right to make mistakes.
If with two successes their qualification for the rest of the competition is not yet questioned – the first four of the four groups of six drop out of their ticket for the final stages – they must react to finish the best classified as possible and avoid an 8th cador.
A reaction is therefore expected this Tuesday evening against Poland. A delicate mission for partners of Guerschon Yabusele. The Poles will play at home (the first round is played in Katowice) and they are still undefeated with three successes. A flawless one that allows them to occupy first place in the hen and to be already qualified for the round of 16.
“It is double -edged,” says coach Frédéric Faux. Either we do not recover from the disappointment of Sunday, or on the contrary we have total cohesion because we know what atmosphere will wait for us. This can unite a group to make a big game. »»
Absent during the defeat against Israel due to pain in a calf, the Alexandre Sarr pivot must still pass tests. Depending on the results, the Washington Wizards (NBA) player could return to the group.
France-Pologne, matching match for the 4th day of the Eurobasket 2025 group D of Eurobasket 2025, is to be followed live from 8:30 p.m. on TFX and beIN SPORTS 1.
