For its last main tour match, the French handball team challenged North Macedonia. Already qualified for the quarterfinals, the Blues had the opportunity to run, and why not know their first defeat in these world championships. But for the men of Guillaume Gille, the word “defeat” is obviously not part of their vocabulary.
The Handball World Cup takes an unpleasant turn for us
After distributing roustes on the first five games, the Blues have not changed their strategy against the Macedonians. For our greatest misfortune. As since the start of this World Cup, the rear base has left the opposing nets no chance. Dika Mem (8 goals), Elohim Prandi or Melvyn Richardson, to name a few.
What about defense are you wondering? We would have done better not to approach this subject. The duo Rémi Desbonnet – Karl Konan has once again made miseries on the ground. The goalkeeper stopped three seven -meter jets in the first period alone. But the tricolor defenders were also able to count on the dedication of Dylan Nahi. Finally not very long, just nine minutes, the time required for the French left winger to be excluded from the match because of a dangerous gesture.
-The proof of this handball lesson? The score at the break: 18-14. The second period is of the same ilk, with bruises far too concentrated for the Macedonians cannot hope for anything. For the sixth time since the start of these world championships, we finish the article in the same way; The French team won 32-25. With this sixth victory in as many meetings, the Blues tackle the quarterfinals with a jauge of trust far too excessive for our taste. With Spain, Sweden and Norway already eliminated, our future is darkened severely in these world championships. What if handball became our existential enemy become again? Answer Tuesday during the quarterfinals.
