It is an obvious marker of progress at the same time as a small event: the French futsal team beat Slovenia (2-1), a great nation in the discipline, on Monday evening at the Toulon sports hall. in a friendly tournament (broadcast on the L’Équipe channel) which also includes Brazil. The Blues had never beaten the Slovenians in ten confrontations for 25 years (2 draws, 8 defeats) and this is therefore a very important step in their progress.
Nelson Lutin in the first period and captain Kévin Ramirez a few minutes from the siren, on a powerplay phase, scored the two French goals. Coach Raphaël Reynaud’s men will face Brazil on Wednesday, still in Toulon (to be followed later on La Chaîne L’Équipe on Monday April 11 at 9 p.m.).
