Montaigu Futsal Cup: France U17s Win! | FFF

Winners of Croatia then Morocco this Saturday, the French U19 selection logically wins the Vendée tournament.

Winners on Friday over Croatia (6-3), the 2008-2009 generation Bleuets had the possibility of winning the 7th edition of the Montaigu Futsal Cup U19, a competition where they were already on the list, in 2021 and which this year brought together 3 teams, after the withdrawal of Hungary. On condition, for the players of Fabrice Morel, the new coach, not to lose this Saturday against Morocco.

The French did better since they won (5-2), beautifully punctuating a well-controlled tournament during which they sowed great promises for the future of French Futsal.

The list of players summoned

The Moroccans had nevertheless opened the scoring through El Yaakoubi (0-1, 5th). But Eyoube Mohamed Adam was quick to equalize (1-1, 9th). Then Zachary Chakri gave the Tricolores the advantage (2-1, 12th). An advantage that they would consolidate thanks to Snoussi and the involuntary help of a Moroccan (3-1, 18th).

With a two-goal lead at half-time, could the French see it coming? Not really since Morocco, just two minutes after returning from the locker room, came within a goal thanks to Abdenebit (3-2, 22nd). The tension rose a notch until the Blues’ fourth goal, signed by Hugo Brague (4-2, 30th). Fabio Simiand completed the French success (5-2, 36th).

THE BREEDER’S REACTION

“Great satisfaction”

Fabrice Morel: “It is obviously a great satisfaction, a great pride to conclude this tournament with a second victory in seven editions. I am very happy for the group, for the staff. This success validates the game project. It’s always easier to validate a tournament or a gathering with a victory even if in terms of content, there are still plenty of things to do. Certain targeted elements were achieved against two big Futsal nations. We are starting, in conjunction with the clubs and the Espoirs center, to have better quality players, aware of Futsal. This allows us to save time. Solidarity and group life also save time in learning. » (comments collected by JM)
