After a not so convincing entry against North Macedonia (39-29), the French team did not remove doubts against Switzerland (26-26), far from it, Sunday January 14, for its second match of the preliminary round at the Euro.

In Berlin (Germany), the blue defense was nothing like a wall, unlike Nikola Portner, the Swiss goalkeeper, who put the French in check on numerous occasions. Guillaume Gille’s men are held in check and their match against Germany on Tuesday will be decisive for qualification for the main round.
