In Lille for the first matches, the Blues will return to Paris for the final stages with the French team.

Victor Wembanyama wants to take advantage of it, he who counts on the support of the fans to try to surpass himself.

Fairly discreet against Germany this Friday, with a big defeat at stake, Victor Wembanyama will have to react this Tuesday for the quarter-finals with the Blues.

We do not yet know the opponent, but it is almost certain that Vincent Collet’s men will face Canada.

A talented team and one of the favorites to bring home a medal.

Victor Wembanyama honest about the public

Not easy at all for the Blues, who will try their best to beat this team or another, depending on the results to come this Saturday.

But Victor Wembanyama remains confident, he who counts on the support of the public to achieve a good result.

Present on France 3 this Saturday, here is what Wemby explains about the atmosphere present since the beginning of the competition.

Victor Wembanyama: “I did not experience the Tokyo Olympic Games obviously but from afar… I do not feel the same thing today, just with the other events.

Then the events are on French time, we realize that we are at the Olympic Games.

When we are in treatment and we watch our compatriots win medals galore, it is incredible. »

Wembanyama obviously hopes to extend the good French streak, even if it will take a hell of a run to do so, including a possible victory over Canada in the quarterfinals.

Are Les Bleus capable of it? Certainly, but it will take a collective awakening for that.

Whether we’re talking about Evan Fournier, Nicolas Batum or Vincent Collet with his coaching, everyone has to do better.

It starts this Tuesday with the quarterfinals, and an additional motivation for Les Bleus: the recent success of their compatriots.

Wemby recognizes that this atmosphere and this proximity between French people is a pleasure to see, he who hopes to bring happiness to others in a few days.

Victor Wembanyama: “I have the impression that there is a synergy that is created between sports and I dare to hope that the other athletes have the same enthusiasm when seeing us play as we do when watching them.

There is love for the flag, our compatriots and the French athletes. ”

Victor Wembanyama is happy to return to Paris, where he hopes for greater support from the French public, and, why not, from other compatriots.

Whatever happens, Vincent Collet’s team will have to show another face for this occasion.
