The French Basketball Federation is at the center of a heated debate. Even though the EuroBasket will be held in Israel and Slovenia from 15-25 June, the French women’s squad would choose not to visit Marine Johannès, who was part of the Bleues, with which, as recently reported, they played 108 games. Set. Reason ? The management of the election criticizes the player for wanting to join the American franchise of New York Liberty in the WNBA. As a result, Marine Johannès would miss the start of the preparation, which did not suit the EDF leaders. The coach of the latter, Jean-Aimé Toupane, expressed his desire to get his entire team before the competition: “The European Championship is an important goal for us. Seeing the players come out of preparation to come back… We have only twelve training sessions scheduled before the Euro. We need a common experience. I understand everyone’s concerns but compared to a very high, very important goal for us, I would like to have everybody.“
On Monday, May 22, Marine Johannès spoke with Asvel in the women’s league about this case after her coronation. The 28-year-old reiterated her love for the France team through tears. Sports in France : “It was never out of the question for me to miss a match for the French team. I haven’t missed anything since 2015. I will stop there. I’ll contact you this Wednesday or Thursday.The Lisieux native was able to count on the support of its president, Tony Parker, who regretted the federation’s behavior in 2011. Set : “I find what is going on around him very unfair. She is an amazing girl, she wants to play for France team. He hasn’t missed a post since 2015. We boys let us sign our Fed contracts, let them do the same to girls. He is perhaps the best player in France at the moment. That does not make sense ! Nicolas Batumi with the children missed the official matches, joined us in the 2016 Olympic Games qualifying tournament, and we accepted him. We’re talking about five days and friendly matches for Marine…“
Nicolas Batum also spoke about the subject in the program. first team After Asvel’s victory: “The ultimatum placed on his head, I find extremely disgustingThe Los Angeles Clippers player, who wanted to support Marine Johannès while criticizing his federation, spoke angrily: “Call me if you want, I don’t care. I am defending someone very dear to me, especially him. (…) We don’t have many people at that level.“ The 34-year-old therefore hopes the Federation will reconsider its decision:Damn it. This girl is passionate, she has blue blood in her veins for life for the France team. He doesn’t want to miss, he wants to do anything! Let it screw up, it will come back! She was crying on TV. This girl lives for this sport, she didn’t miss anything… I know I’ll get scolded but I don’t care!“
