Guillaume Gille’s players must avoid defeat, Wednesday January 26 at 8:30 p.m., against Denmark, to qualify for the final four. The Blues were able to take advantage of a misstep by Iceland against Croatia on the penultimate day and have their destiny in their hands. The Danes, already qualified for the semi-finals, have not lost a single match since their defeat in the final of the Olympic Games against France.
The French can count on the return of Karl Konan and Ludovic Fabregas in defense. Both players will have work to do against Mikkel Hansen, the competition’s third top scorer, as well as Mathias Gidsel, eighth in the goalscoring table and who has an impressive goal-to-shot conversion rate (97.2%) with 35 goals for 36 attempts.
