The FFT has returned its selection for the European Games which will take place this summer in Poland, and Bastien Blanqué is a big absentee from the list.

Reigning French champion, sheet metal worker for the French team for years, the Toulousain will for the first time in years miss an international campaign. However, he had finished the 2022 season with a bang, notably by forming a very solid pair with Thomas Leygue in Dubai. A Thomas Leygue who will be present in Krakow…

Blanqué and Leygue the Champions of France 2022

But now, the choices of coaches often depend on the form of the moment, and we can not say that Bastien has particularly distinguished himself in international tournaments in recent weeks. Inconclusive results that necessarily weighed in the balance when Pablo Ayma had to return his list. Indeed, the coach preferred him among left players Adrien Maigret, whose agreement with Benjamin Tison is still impeccable, and Jérémy Scatena, whose quality at the smash could make the difference this summer.

In addition, Maigret being able to play on the right and Leygue also being able to play on the left, the Spaniard offers himself the possibility of being able to offer different configurations. Reasons which certainly explain the non-selection of the quadruple Champion of France, but which should not prevent him from being disappointed.

Do you still think that because of his status, Blanqué should have been part of the team? We are waiting for your opinions!
