Update
Beaten by Denmark and Norway, the French men’s handball team is aiming for its first victory in the competition on Wednesday.
What there is to know
Finally launch its Olympic Games. Largely dominated by Denmark (37-29) on Saturday, then by Norway (27-22) on Monday, the French team must absolutely find the Olympic recipe if it wishes to retain its title.
“A bit against the wall.” After the defeat against Norway, Guillaume Gille felt that his Blues were starting to come back into their own “increasingly in a form of emergency”. Whoever deliberately chose the toughest group to avoid meeting these opponents too early in the elimination phase may be losing his bet.
Qualification still within reach of the Blues. France is still far from being eliminated. With four teams qualified in each group (of six teams), the Tricolores still have their destiny in their hands, but no longer have the right to make a mistake. They must make a clean sheet and hope for a misstep from Norway to take back second place from the Scandinavians and face a more affordable opponent in the quarter-finals.
Reassure yourself about your game. With the threat of elimination averted for the moment, the most worrying thing for the Blues remains the level displayed both offensively and defensively. Guillaume Gille must therefore use these matches against more approachable opponents to revive the dynamic and automatisms.

Elohim Prandi still in failure, that doesn’t work for him at the moment.
Just after, it was Yehia Elderaa who quickly scored (10-9).

It’s still a bit messy on the French side, like this avoidable loss of the ball by Nedim Remili which gave an easy goal to Omar Elwakil (5-5).
