The French Handballs, Olympic Champions Four months ago in Tokyo, won their third round of the World World, Tuesday, December 7, in Granollers (Spain), imposing against Montenegro 24 to 19.
After controlling Angola (30-20) and outclassed Slovenia (29-18), Coralie Lassource’s teammates have had their first moments complicated in this global. Malked for a big part of the meeting, the French finally found the strength to beat the players of Bojana Popovic.
With these three successes, France closes the main tour with the maximum of points, four, just like Russia, that it will face last Monday, next Monday. Before that, the blue will play against Poland from Thursday, then face Serbia Saturday.
The matches of the French against the Montenegrins are rarely parts of pleasure, as evidenced by the difficult victory in the first round of the Euro 2020 in Herning (24-23). The proposed duel Tuesday night did not escape the rule, despite the absences of major players on the Montenegrin side (including Djurdjina Jaukovic).
And there was a strand of tension, rising from a notch at the end of the period, when Tatjana Bronnovic has scrutinized a red card and four minutes of temporary exclusion. A decision misunderstood by the spectators of Granollers.
The French Defense has “closed boutique”
The two teams then returned to the cloakroom (12-12), before the French benefits from their numerical superiority to give each other through Estelle Nze Minko and Grace Zaadi at the beginning of the second period.
The French defense then “closed shop”, as they shifted in Creole to the Olympic Games in the form of war cry, for a few minutes to escape to the score (16-12). But the Montenegins, supported by the Spanish public, hung the blue and pushed them into their entrenchments.
Salvation came from the young lucie granier to the right wing. At the age of 22 and for its first international competition, it scored two precious goals that allowed the French to find margin (21-17) and to have a few minutes a little less stressful. The Captain of the Blue, Coralie Lassource, finished the meeting with six goals at the counter, including the last on a superb redfall to give five goals ahead of the team (23-18).
The rear times have not found a solution to their low efficiency on remote fire (9 meters), recurring problem already underlined by the coach of the blue, Olivier Krumbholz, in the first two games of this Global.
During the sixty minutes of the meeting, the French people have very rarely found the frame, the barers Océane Serce Ugolin and Kalidiatou Niakaté still failing to settle the sight. A concern that it will have to quickly settle in the main turn.
