After their convincing victory against Germany, Les Bleus will continue this Wednesday afternoon with a duel that is already crucial in the 2025 European Championship. Facing the Netherlands, France has a lot at stake: a victory would propel them to the semi-finals, while a defeat would seriously complicate the rest of the competition.
Only one change in the composition
Pablo Ayma almost the same team as against Germany. The only change: Timo Fonteny replaces Maxime Joris to support Benjamin Tison on the central courtThe two men will face Sten Richters et Thijs Roper, the top-ranked Dutch pair and regulars at the FIP circuit.
Behind, the “BB” Johan Bergeron et Bastien Blanqué will be aligned again facing Youp de Kroon et Julian Prins, While Dylan Guichard et Manuel Vives, French champions in title, will close the match against Bart Van Opstal et Menno Nolten.
An opposition not to be underestimated
If France is the favorite on paper, the néerlandais proved yesterday against Italy that they could make the best nations doubt, only losing 2/1 after some close matches. The Dutch team has several regular players on the FIP Touras an Roper (143rd), De Kroon (147th), Prins (147th) or, Nolten (179th).
Objective: the semi-finals
With a first victory in the bag, the blue have the opportunity to strike hard. A qualification in semi final reaches out to them, but it will be necessary to address this France – Netherlands with seriousness and concentration.
I discovered padel directly during a tournament, and frankly, I didn't really like it at first. But the second time, it was love at first sight, and since then, I haven't missed a single match. I'm even ready to stay up until 3am to watch a final of Premier Padel !
