Bio
Born in a city of volleyball, Antoine Brizard has been immersed in this sport since he was 7 years old. Smuggler from the start, he is called up by the club of Toulouse in 2015, which earned him his first French selection in 2016. He was vice-champion of Russia with Saint Petersbourg as well as for the Russian Cup and the CEV Cup last season. He will play in Piacenza next year.
In the second match of the day in Pool D, France will come to the court for their second
matchup in the 2021 edition of #EuroVolleyM.
Favorites of the group, France started on the right foot, taking a 3-0 win over Slovakia in their opener.
Croatia, on the other hand, had a rocky start with a 0-3 loss to Germany, but then managed to beat Latvia 3-2 after a rollercoaster of emotions, nd are looking forward to showing some good performances against the reigning Olympic Champions in today’s match.

Match Report
Croatia cannot do much against France's grit
Article
5 September 2021
Jean Patry“Today we played our game, with seriousness but also with pleasure. Having fun is important for us, it is our characteristic. If we want to play well, we need to have fun and take pleasure in every point.”
Opposite of France
Tsimafei Zhukouski“I think we showed good Volleyball in some moments, and proved that we can play against a team like France as well. Some of our players got rest before important matches ahead, but we have many younger players and for them, it’s a great experience to play against Olympic champions.”
