We now know that France will face Germany, Japan and the winner of the TQO in Latvia in the group stage of the Paris Olympic Games this summer. After Vincent Collet, rather satisfied to have avoided Nikola Jokic's Serbia, it's Victor Wembanyama who was thus questioned about this draw.
“We have a potentially trap group, even if it seems interesting and affordable for us”reacts the Frenchman from Spurs to our colleagues from L’Équipe.
Is he not disappointed not to meet the United States, as the Blues did in 2021 in Japan?
“Playing a team in groups or in the semi-finals is the same,” responds to the first choice of the 2023 Draft. “The fact that they come in full strength is the best thing for me. I prefer to play the best selection of each country, rather than facing only two or three of them. »
Except that if Team USA comes with the announced team, the chances of winning the competition will be slim for the competition. Not for Victor Wembanyama, who believes that not winning gold would be a big disappointment.
“I will see it as a failure if I think we could have done better. And at the same time, I think that the gold medal is very achievable if you play in such a way that you don't have any regrets.”he announces.
