Now eve of the first meeting of the French men's team, Pablo Ayma, as Robin Haziza, gives us his impressions of the draw.

For the men's coach, France has already started its competition well by arriving on site on Wednesday: “We are one of the first selections to have arrived there. From Thursday we were able to train here and acclimatize to the heat of Dubai.”

Like his female coach counterpart, he is wary of this group D, which includes Paraguay, a team that gave the Blues a hard time last year: “Already we're in a group of 5 instead of 4. It's something that hurts us a little bit since we'll have more games to play. Especially since apart from against Paraguay and Mexico, which are very good teams, the other matches will not necessarily be of a very high level. We will therefore have to give everything to try to finish in first place, and thus face a second group in the quarter-finals.

Whatever happens, according to the coach, the competition promises to be of high quality: “The organization is exceptional, between the hotel, the site, the quality of the slopes… It should be a superb tournament!” A tournament that starts tomorrow at noon French time for the tricolors against Mexico!
