After commenting on the Asvel – Paris Basket match last April, Jean-Denys Choulet will again be on duty for two preparation matches for the French team with the L’Équipe channel.
From the sidelines to the microphone. As he did on April 21, Jean-Denys Choulet will offer his basketball expertise to viewers. The ex-coach will be on commentary during two preparation matches for the France team. First on July 8 against Germany. Then on July 12 against Serbia. ” At the house of The Team they were very happy with what happened for Asvel – Paris Basket,” assures the technician.
In Paris then at the LDLC Arena
For the moment, the double French champion does not know with whom he will be associated for these two meetings. A situation which does not change anything in its preparation. “I like to do my files. Getting my stuff ready. It allows me to stay in touch with the high level. » JDC could be associated with Frédéric Weis. The former France team player was also recruited as a consultant for the television channel. The two men have already rubbed shoulders in the past. “I worked with him when he set up his company specializing in equipment. »
On July 8, Jean-Denys Choulet will be stationed in Paris, in the premises of The Team . Four days later, he will commentate from the LDLC Arena, in the Lyon suburbs. “They’re going to retire Tony Parker’s jersey. »
For the moment, the 65-year-old will only be on the microphone for these two meetings. Nothing is currently planned for the Olympic Games. But discussions with the channel are planned to address this subject soon. “I could continue, but for the moment, nothing is defined. »
A new club in the next 15 days?
In the commentary world, Jean-Denys Choulet admits to having a “mentor”. This one is none other than Jacques Monclar. “We have a bit of the same big voice,” he jokes. “We know each other well. He is a man who has had a great career. I like his way of doing things. He chose to fully turn to this path. I don’t think I’m ready to do it. »
The technician told us a few weeks ago, during his “tune-ups” with the Chorale de Roanne, that he wanted to stay in the coaching business. Today he is making the same speech and announcing “advanced contacts” with several structures. He should also meet them soon. “I think there could be a decision within 15 days. A great challenge awaits me,” he announces.
