FRANCE-ITALY KICK-OFF 5:15 PM

THE ESSENTIAL

  • Finding the Blues, this Wednesday (5:15 p.m.) on television, looks like a small miracle.

    OK, we were convinced that they would be in the Top 8 at the start of this Eurobasket, but the round of 16 against Turkey on Saturday (87-86 after extra time) proved brilliantly that this team was capable of anything.

    Namely to pick up a 19-0 as to recover from a hopeless situation in the last seconds.

  • On the way to Vincent Collet's band, in the quarter-finals of the Eurobasket, stands the Italian selection.

    Yet deprived of their major player Danilo Gallinari, seriously injured in the knee just before the competition, Italy managed the feat of taking out Serbia's Nikola Jokic in the previous round (94-86).

  • For this quarter-final, broadcast at 5:15 p.m. this Wednesday on Canal +, we should find in the starting five: Albicy, Tarpey, Fournier, Yabusele, Gobert.

7:45 am

: To increase the pressure around the floors this Wednesday morning, we will quickly send you a subject on the offensive evolution of our national Ruuuuuuuuuudy Gobert, hero of “money time” in 8th Saturday.

And here is also a video of the stars of probably the most successful Eurobasket in history, even if some like Giannis and Jokic have already gone to the trappinette.

Come on, see you at 5 p.m. with your best "Pitch" jersey.



7:45 a.m

.: Here, for those who missed the comical scene following the thunderclap of the Italian victory against Serbia, here is the video of the transalpine coach Gianmarco Pozzecco below.

The latter throws himself like a madman into the arms of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was passing by by chance and who was bumping a lot then from the Serbian elimination.

How do you say "furious madness" in Italian?

🤪 Italy coach is going crazy!


👐 After his team's victory over Jokic's Serbia on Sunday, in a burst of happiness, Gianmarco Pozzecco threw himself into the arms of... Giannis Antetokounmpo!


😅 The Greek Freak didn't seem more destabilized than that!

7:45 am

: Friends of the "stepback" and the "teardrop", we will savor every moment of this live as it should be, we prefer to warn you.

Because during our meal, Saturday noon, we admit having crossed out in our diary this meeting of the quarter-finals of the Eurobasket which was refused to our Blues.

We had officially hit rock bottom against Turkey, resulting in a cataclysmic 19-0 suffered without flinching.

And then abracadabra, Turkish throws mysteriously released en route, a tap dunk for the story of Rudy Gobert and here we are finally in place for this France-Italy poster.

We clearly expected to find reigning NBA double MVP Nikola Jokic and his Serbian team on our way.

But Italy created a sensation by winning (94-86), despite the absence of their star winger Danilo Gallinari (Boston Celtics),

seriously injured knee just before the start of the tournament.

It would be a question of finally delivering 40 constant minutes to rush towards the semi-finals, where we would undoubtedly be stuck with this dear Luka Doncic (Slovenia-Poland is disputed this Wednesday evening).

Go, go from 5 p.m. the 20 Minutes to experience this quarter-final, with a kick-off at 5:15 p.m.
