The French press celebrates the victory of its national basketball team over Tunisia
The Tunisian basketball team was led to a broad defeat by France, on Monday, in a friendly match, as the French, who are preparing to participate in the World Cup finals, succeeded in overcoming their opponent after defeating them with a score of 93-36.
The match took place in the city of Pau in France, where the Tunisian national team was armed with its Portuguese coach, Mario Palma, who renewed the covenant with the Tunisian national team again after a previous experience, with the aim of making up for the disappointments that the team had known in recent tournaments.
The French press celebrated the victory of her country, as the newspaper “L’Equipe” described the historic victory and said, “a record victory for the French team.” The French newspaper reviewed the numbers achieved by the French team in this confrontation, as it accepted the lowest number of points in a match since 1967, and it also achieved Second largest spread since 2009.
L’Equipe also indicated that the Tunisian national team passed by the event, after scoring two points in the third quarter of the confrontation, a number that is not in line with the Tunisian basketball record, after the team succeeded in winning titles in recent years.
And the “R.M.C” website considered that the confrontation was not at all equal. Against a “weak” opponent, the French team achieved its first victory in the preparations, as it succeeded in “sweeping the Tunisian team.” France scored 21 points in the first 5 minutes of the second quarter, while a Tunisian failed to score any points.
The defeat had a significant negative impact on the Tunisian fans, who expressed through communication platforms their great disappointment at this shocking result, calling on the federation to take action to save the Tunisian national team.
France will face an Arab team during the Basketball World Cup that starts this month, and it is Lebanon, in the group that also includes Canada and Latvia.
