The French men’s volleyball team conceded its second defeat in two preparation matches for the Euro (August 28-September 16), beaten on Saturday by Poland in Krakow (3-1) after their loss the day before against Italy (3-0).

The Blues, after snatching the first set (29-27) saving three set points including two thanks to Yacine Louati, then suffered the law of the Poles (25-16, 25-21, 25-20) from Wilfredo Leon , superior in counter, more precise in attack and service.

Like Friday, Earvin Ngapeth, who missed the entire Nations League in June and July to recover from a knee injury, was on the scoresheet but did not come on.

The Blues will conclude the Memorial Wagner, a friendly tournament organized each year by Poland, on Sunday against Slovenia (2 p.m.) who won their first two meetings.
