Like more and more athletes after counter-performances, Evan Fournier chose social networks to speak about the fiasco of the French team at the World Cup. Offensive leader of the Blues for several campaigns, the rear of the Knicks assumes this failure, but he also regrets that some are delighted.
” Since 2019, this group has been fighting to bring French basketball to the world level. With success. This year, we failed in our mission. This is a huge disappointment for us players, and a huge disappointment for you fans. We’re sorry” writes Fournier. “For several days we have all been looking for explanations. It is essential to find solutions and bounce back next year.
Some talk about arrogance or smugness, the reality is that we just didn’t measure up. This is sometimes the harsh reality of high level sport, and you have to accept it. »
” We love this French team and we will continue to fight for it.”
For the best scorer of the French team, ” it is a collective failure, a failure in which none of us seeks to shirk its share of responsibility. Me first. »
“Neither disrespect nor finger pointing will help us get up” he continues. “Even though certain media or certain personalities seem strangely to be delighted with our failure, nothing should separate us. We love this French team and we will continue to fight for it. We have done you proud in the past three campaigns, and I remain convinced that this group still has some magic to give. Go France “.
