Les deux intérieurs de l'équipe de France, Vincent Poirier du Real Madrid et Victor Wembanyama des Spurs

Absent from these Paris Olympic Games due to injury, Vincent Poirier remains nonetheless a keen observer of the French Team.

The Real Madrid pivot has also made things clear after the victory of the Blues against Germany.

However, there are many gaps within this roster of the French Team.

No real starting point guard or big strike force on the back lines, a Victor Wembanyama-Rudy Gobert pairing that looks like a failure at the moment… and yet, Vincent Collet’s men have indeed made it to the final of the 2024 Olympic Games where they will face Team USA, as in Tokyo three years ago.

At that time, Vincent Poirier was part of the tricolor squad and that was to be the case once again in Paris.

Except that an injury to the big man forced him to stay on the sidelines and become the number 1 fan of the Blues.

His absence is not too much of a problem thanks to the monstrous work done by Guerschon Yabusele and Mathias Lessort, who are among the great men of this Olympic epic.

Heavily criticized for days, the French players knew how to keep a cool head and the success against the Mannschaft pushed Poirier to a brutal clarification after the end of the match:

But fortunately, they proved all their detractors wrong and Vincent Poirier obviously relishes this reversal of the trend.

This is also the case for those who have never stopped believing in the 2021 Olympic vice-champions.

While not perfect in the game, this French Team has a huge heart and this was seen during the qualifying stages of the Paris Olympic Games.

All that remains is to give everything against Team USA in the final, in order to have no regrets.
