Fournier’s Wrath After France’s Disastrous Loss to Canada: A Must-Win Situation Against Latvia

Aurélien Canot, Media365, published on Friday August 25, 2023 at 6:16 p.m.

Evan Fournier, the only French player to show his advantage on Friday (21 points), did not mince his words after the debacle against Canada (95-65). The Knicks player is aware, however, that the most important thing now is to raise his head against Latvia.

Evan Fournier is not one to mince words. More so when he is angry. So imagine the lightning that could strike the Knicks player after the Blues’ rout against Canada (95-65) on Friday in the first match for the France team in this World Cup in the Philippines. “We had a nice br….., there is no other word”, complained Fournier, furious, hot at the microphone of beIN Sports. “We had never really managed to put ourselves in our systems, because of their defensive pressure. They pushed us back, both on the outside lines and inside. It’s as simple as that: they push us back and we couldn’t get into it.” The former Magic, however, does not have much to blame himself for, unlike his teammates. Author of 21 points in this part, he nevertheless also died on his return from the locker room when he hoped to continue his momentum and keep his team in contact with the Canadians.

Fournier: “We have no choice”

“Let’s say that since we were getting out of our offensive patterns a bit, I was trying to bring some pep and first intention since we often had to unblock situations. It didn’t smile on us afterwards. anyway, you can’t win a match on that for forty minutes. In the second half, I had a little less success, I tried to play, but it was already done.” The exit, it is not yet emerging for Fournier and the Blues. On the other hand, a new disillusion, Sunday against Latvia, and the French and their captain Nicolas Batum will see all their illusions fly away. “Antizz” does not want to believe it and remains optimistic. “Anyway, we have no choice. With the group we have, we have the right to a defeat. Now, there is no more joker: focus on Latvia. We will still have to that we watch the video to see what happened, but anyway, now we have to look ahead”
