Reigning European champions, the French finish the preliminary round of this World Handball Championship with a confidence gauge that is far too large for our taste.
We don't really like this World Handball Championship at the moment.
After the two inaugural victories in these World Championships, against Qatar and Kuwëit, the French handball team faced Austria, a tougher opponent. But as in their previous meetings, Guillaume Gille's men did not leave the slightest chance for suspense. The Austrian destruction first began in attack, with Dika Mem and Thibaud Briet absolutely untenable at the back, scoring twelve goals between them. But Austria also struggled on the other side of the field.
After the unfortunate injury to Samir Bellahcene, forced to leave the Blues for this World Cup, Charles Bolzinger joined the group. And from his first entry, the French goalkeeper stops a penalty, just to prove to us that the French breeding ground is odiously rich. The Blues lead 19-15 at the break, and we understand, today is not the day we are going to experience disillusionment. In the second half, the French defense became even more airtight, as if it needed it. The Austrians only scored twelve goals this time, losing 35-27. A modest result when you know the struggles of the first two matches.
-With this new victory, Guillaume Gille's men achieved an incredible flawless performance in this preliminary round. Three matches, three victories, but above all a dizzying goal average. In three hours of match, the French scored 115 goals, with only 65 conceded. A difference of +50, but no one seems to visibly care. Everything is gone.
