A statue for Elohim Prandi, and quickly! If France miraculously qualified for the Euro handball final by beating Sweden in overtime (34-30), it owes it largely to its left back (and a little to the refereeing too, but This is an other story). We rewind: after a dream first period, where France was up to eight points ahead, Guillaume Gille’s gang completely collapsed in the second half, until this last minute of madness. Trailing from the start, the Blues first reduced the score, before the Swedes failed to score the fatal goal. In the process, France inherits a free kick to play at the buzzer. Elohim Prandi, doctor of pralines, takes responsibility. The rest is history.
With this shot, Elohim Prandi sent his team into overtime. Dejected, the Swedes sank during the two five-minute halves. After a group selfie session on the pitch, the hero of the evening returned to his magical action at the beIN Sports microphone: “I’m really proud. This direct free kick is part of my job, I have already proven that I am capable of doing this kind of thing. I have confidence in myself, in the team. I’m a rascal, for me it was unthinkable to lose. Honestly, I analyzed the wall in front of me, it was a bit high. So I told myself that I was shooting sideways. I shifted a little, and there you have it. » There you have it, the France team is in the final of the Euro handball.
