Alexis Salles, the captain of the Team France team Padel, gives us his point on the previous meetings, the + and the - and of course the small point Italy for 3rd place.

Yesterday, the France team faced Spain's best team of the world with Argentina with its armada of players of very high level. It was a gala match for our players who had little illusions about the outcome of the game but who were eager to give everything to defend our colors.

Bastien Blanqué and Johan Bergeron had the honor of facing 2 5 best players in the world Juan Martin DIAZ and Paquito NAVARRO who totally "spray" our 2 players in a beautiful state of mind.

Johan and Bastien, a little tense, did not start well the meeting making some direct mistakes. It must be said that their opponents are so strong.

The slightest mistake is paid "cash" Johan and Bastien then managed to have fun by achieving great points!

It was then the turn of Jeremy Scatena and Jeremy Ritz who faced Aday Santana and Alvaro Sepero.

They make a very good game despite the defeat 6 / 2 6 / 4. They were patient and did not try to overplay! In front at the 1er set Alvaro Santana has managed to achieve at least 10 wall returns winners! So the "Jeremy" stopped lobing and tried to play much more in the feet of the Spaniards. They really resisted in the second set by achieving magnificent points.

The third match between Maxime Moreau and Robin Haziza Willy Lahoz and Alexandre Ruiz for a match without stake.

They came back better and better in the match by playing mainly Willy Lajoz who made some unusual mistakes! Max was very aggressive on his vollées and smash relying on a very concentrated Robin who put the team in a good tactical scheme.

We will remember that they even led 2 / 0 and 3 / 0 ball in the 2nd set!

Just now at 13h30 France will face Italy for a third place! It would be a small feat for us to win this game because Italy has recruited 2 Argentine naturalized professional players Italians with Britos and Capitani!

Our players are over-motivated to bring us a medal of Estoril! I hope to announce a good news tomorrow!
