Come on, more than a match to win to dream of Tokyo next summer. Led 2 sets to 0, the French volleyball players overturned the semi-final of the Olympic qualification tournament to win the tie break against Slovenia (13-25, 22-25, 25-14, 25-21, 15-9 ). Overwhelmed by a stunning Slovenian team, the Blues were able to find the resources to completely turn the situation around.

LA REMONTADA DES BLEUS !!!

What a magnificent performance of the French Team which qualified for the final of the TQO after having been led 2 sets to 0! Well done ! 🇫🇷💪 # lequipeVOLLEY pic.twitter.com/8YndrOZX7u

To get the only ticket to Japan this summer at stake in Berlin, Laurent Tillie's men will have to beat Germany or Bulgaria on Friday evening. The two teams meet on Thursday evening (8:10 pm) in the second semi-final. The French will therefore have a few more hours of recovery in their paws. Ok, at that level it’s walou, but we are looking for reasons to believe it for Friday.
