EUROPEAN HAND CHAMPIONSHIP 2022. Last match of the first round in the Euro handball with a decisive match against Serbia.
[Mis à jour le 17 janvier 2022 à 09h45] The Blues have started the Euro handball perfectly with two victories in two games, but with the new formula, the band of Guillaume Gile is not yet officially qualified for the main round. Even with two victories that give it 1st place in Group C, France must still validate its qualification and pocket the two points to feature well in the next round. A meeting therefore very important as explained by Érick Mathé, assistant coach of the Blues on the site of the FFH. “Some uncertainties remain about the line-up due to Covid-19 cases in Serbia’s squad, such as goalkeeper Dejan Milosavljev, right winger Darko Djukic and Nemanja Illic. Since the start of the Euros, the halfback – center Lazar Kukic is very visible and very fit. He is in charge of this formation: he overflows, he animates the highlights and he makes the decision. Uros Borzas, the left back, appears in this team and Dragan Pechmalbec, of course, who strengthens the defensive sector in particular. If water has flowed under the bridges since then, this team had given us problems last year, twice. On the defensive side, this team “She is valiant and she plays fair and serious in the attacking phase. She may lack rotations in the right-back position where Milos Orbovic is the only left-hander in the position.”
