The first half of France against Lebanon was catastrophic for a long time to the point of being led by 10 points (35-25). During a time-out, Vincent Collet did not mince his words against his players. He criticized them for not defending against the will-o’-the-wisp Wael Arakji (21 points at halftime), and he openly tackled the attitude of Elie Okobo!
“On the 20th, he’s not going to score 40 points for us guys. I want him to be a good little player… Something has to be done” he warns, before addressing Sylvain Francisco: “Sylvain, relax. Don’t listen to Elie, he doesn’t want to play, please don’t do like him. »
A sequence that will leave traces.
