Eliminated at the gates of the final, France has managed to pull itself together to win the bronze medal in these Worlds.
A few months after the fiasco, the Blues had the opportunity to be back at the top with a faultless since the start of the world championships. But at the time of the semi -finals on Thursday, January 30, the classic, France – Croatia, turned short with an impressive victory of the Croats “there is disappointment, a little sadness not to have shown our full potential On this match “explained Guillaume Gille before the game. However, during this World Cup, the Blues were impressive with an overwhelming victory every round. The machine was a little wrapped in the quarterfinals against Egypt with the goal of the qualification two tenths of the end, but the hopes were allowed. Unfortunately, in the zagreb volcano, the Blues could not do anything and had to play the small final against Portugal. In an unbreathable match and with a large turnover, France finally managed to win bronze thanks to a huge Aymeric Minne, launching a new well -deserved cycle. “It represents all the work that we have provided since the after Jo (Defeat in quarters against Germany, 34-35 AP) It really rewards the determination of this group to win together. I’m really happy, this is my first medal in the French team. It is the most beautiful in my career, I have no other. It was very important to me to win this medal personally “explained the French player. Unsurprisingly, Denmark was impressive and was crowned world champion in front of Croats back at the top.
