Victor Wembanyama on why the French national team jersey carries more weight than others, including the Spurs jersey
“It carries more weight because it’s worn over much shorter periods; the intensity of an Olympic Games campaign plays out over a matter of weeks, so it’s all about the here and now. There are very few matches in an international career, so every single one really counts.”
On reconnecting with the French fans:
“I’m very happy; I can’t wait for the match at Bercy (on August 27 against Slovenia) and the one on Sunday in Orléans (against Serbia), and to see how the crowd has evolved. We know the sport is growing in France, and it’s been a long time since I wore this jersey in front of a French audience.”
