Victor Wembanyama of France in action during the International Friendly match between France and Canada on July 19, 2024 in Orleans, France. Victor Wembanyama ’s French national team has faced some challenges in their exhibition games leading up to the 2024 Paris Olympics . There is some concern among fans that the team has dropped four consecutive games, including matches against Germany , Serbia: , Canada , and Australia .
Despite these losses, the tight-knit squad is gearing up for their opening game against Brazil on July 27 and Spurs star Wembanyama told LeParisien that he’s not too worried.“We learned good lessons during this preparation in the sense that it is better to put yourself in difficulty before to be ready afterward. I really think we are on the right track because the energy of the staff and the group is incredible. The desire to do well, personally, I have never seen that in any other team.
No matter what happens, Wembanyama will be getting a lot of attention this month, especially because he embodies the host nation and because he is a television ratings magnet. Playing in front of the home crowd will no doubt lift the French national team but Wembanyama himself will get a lot of love from sports fans and casual French citizens alike.
“I tend to underestimate the fan enthusiasm for me. I don’t pay more attention to it,” Wembanyama said recently. “But when I returned to France a few weeks ago for the first time, I felt the enthusiasm of the public that was different from before.” “Tactically, I want to say it’s like any other sports experience, but mentally it’s with a lot of excitement. It’s also really hard for me to grasp that it’s really the Olympics. Of course, I’ll experience it differently than any other year I’ve watched the Olympics.”
