No Kevin Tillie.
No Antonin Rouzier due to injury.
Setter Pierre Pujol is NOT even on the team.
Regardless, Coach Tillie’s squad looks promising.
France played a couple of friendly matches versus Italy last week to prepare for the 2013 World League which kicks off this coming weekend. Earvin Ngapeth and Team are in Pool A with Brazil, Poland, USA, Argentina and Bulgaria.
The French squad will also compete at the 2013 European Championship in September.
Coach Tillie’s 2013 Preliminary Roster:
Setters: Toniutti , Redwitz
OPP: Morea, Sidibé
OH’s: N’Gapeth, Quesque, Lyneel, Tuia
MB’s: Le Roux, Hardy-Dessources, Le Goff, Lafitte
Libero: Exiga, Grebennikov
Here are some pics of the team at practice.
“We will not approach the World League as a warm-up for the Euro 2013, but as an intense and great major competition. We’ll play any single game at 100 percent, to get as many victories as we can.” -Coach Laurent Tillie.
