In sports jargon, this is called respecting the opponent. The French handball team had no mercy for Romania, as evidenced by the big victory of Les Bleues (35-21) on Monday evening at Euro 2022 handball. A success that allows the French women to qualify for the main round, even if the hardest part is yet to come.
“It’s a river score, we suffocated them by going faster than them. We reproduced an effective defense against a team from another dimension. It’s really a magnificent match, ”said coach Olivier Krumbholz.
Already decisive match against the Dutch
Les Bleues will play Wednesday (8:30 p.m.) for first place in their group C against the Netherlands, who easily defeated North Macedonia (30-15) earlier in the evening.
The results of the first round being carried over to the next, the winner will take an option on one of the places in the semi-finals, awarded to the first two nations of each group of the main round.
