The French futsal team has a date with history. With its history. Qualified for the semi-finals of the World Cup after convincing victories and a controversy for having let slip their last group match against Iran (1-4), the Blues face Argentina this Thursday, in Tashkent, to reach the final. A scenario that they did not dare to dream of before the competition but which has been taking shape for a few days.
In the quarter-finals, against Paraguay, the French scared themselves. Enjoying maximum success in the second half, they were saved by the uprights in the final seconds. “This little extra thing is essential and that’s what we had today,” recognizes Raphaël Reynaud. We must cultivate it in this collective and with all the players and staff. »
The Blues will really need it against Argentina, who crushed Kazakhstan in the quarter-finals (6-1). Before that, the Argentines had been a success in the group stage, before beating Portugal in the round of 16. They are therefore undefeated.
The Futsal World Cup semi-final between France and Argentina takes place this Thursday at 5 p.m. The meeting will be broadcast on La Chaîne L’Équipe.
