collage FR vs.- GA
Like it or not, come next Saturday, the French team of COPA NYC will defiantly play against some of the World’s best athletes. Team Captain Frederick Lesort better be vigilant. As he led the team during Sunday’s friendly against Kojo Annan’s Team Ghana ( son of Kofi Annan ), Frederick demonstrated their competitive edge. “Fred” seemed measured as he thought out his practice match against Ghana. And, although it was just a fun match, France’s strength carried them to tie the game.
Kojo, on the other hand, gave an initial pep talk to his team then allowed them to play as hard as if they planned to win every single friendly. Ghana perpetuated a considerable amount of confidence that subsequently tied the game. Confidence and great athleticism on their behalf seems evident for next weeks’ tournaments. And, while tactics may change next week at the Flushing Meadows fields sixteen round robins on behalf of all teams, we can be sure that only strongest teams will advance on this coming Sunday towards the semi finals.
On hand to capture the afternoons France vs. Ghana friendly, was Yann Feron.
