More than a week has passed, but the failure of France in the 2023 World Cup, in which they fell at the first exchange, continues to raise dust. Despite the fact that this will not influence the presence of the Gauls in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games – they have a guaranteed place for being the host – this does not prevent really harsh statements being made regarding the elimination in the World Cup event. Following this path, an institution in French basketball such as Tony Parker has not hesitated when it comes to pointing out the enormous disappointment that such a poor performance has caused.
“There we have experienced a fiasco. It is not normal for a team like this to lose in the first round. We have never seen Spain and the United States fall in the first round. And it’s a shame because our generation worked very hard to bring France back to a certain level, so that we could be respected by FIBA, the referees and the other countries. It is very difficult to get that respect… We have to improve the team before the Olympic Games in Paris, we need changes, but it will not be easy, “he comments on The Stephen Time Show in RMC Radio.

The resounding analysis of the four-ring winner (and already a member of the Hall of Fame) is not surprising. France came to the tournament as runner-up in Europe and being one of the favorite teams to fight for the medals. The blow received has been enormous, but perhaps it will help them reach the summer of 2024 with renewed strength in order to play a great role in their Olympics.
