The French national team has already advanced to the next round of the World Cup Qualifiers since they completed the first four Group E games with an equal number of wins
The goal, of course, is to finish the phase with an undefeated record. En route to achieving this, they will have an extra pair of hands in the Window of June-July: Orlando Magic wing Evan Fournier.
“Why wouldn’t I go play for the national team like I do every summer? I will be here, that is for sure,” Fournier said in an interview for FIBA. “In my opinion, there are no reasons for players to miss and not play in the June-July window. You can count me in; I will play with the national team this summer, like I always do every single year. People have to stop asking me this question because I am, and will always be available for the national team during the summer.”
Fournier also explained why it’s so big of him to wear the jersey of the “Les Bleus”
“It’s very important. I have always been very proud to represent my country and I love to wear the jersey. Like, who doesn’t like to represent his country? It’s one of the best feelings ever for an athlete. I have worn the national team jersey for a long time and it is always the same love and passion to represent my country every time I do so. I am always available to play for the national team; I love to play for the national team.”
