Poussifs, the Blues, beaten Tuesday in Serbia (27-24), failed again this Saturday, January 9 by conceding a happy draw (26-26) at the Sports Palace in Créteil. Not reassuring before the start of the World Cup in Egypt, which opens in four days (January 13 to 31). And a bad operation in this pool 1 of the qualifiers for Euro 2022 where the Habs will no doubt have to be satisfied at best with second qualifying place.
What you must remember
There was that glow. Stealthy. Quickly erased by the fog reigning over this team of France which can no longer win. We have been playing for 14 minutes and the Blues have finally taken the advantage, for the first time in the match. And in the eyes of Luka Karabatic, scorer on the counterattack, we even thought we detected a spark. A mirage. Because it is the Serbs, much sharper, who lead to the break in front of the Habs clumsy in their shots. In the second half, Guillaume Gille’s players seem a little more impactful. Outnumbered in the final four minutes, they failed, however, to do better than the draw.
The player: Nedim Remili
The native of Créteil was at home at the Palais des Sports. Where it all began for him. The right-back of PSG and the France team Nedim Remili tried to animate the second half of the Blues. He allowed them to equalize (25-25) four minutes from time. Not enough to win though.
The phrase
“We see on these first two games that there is a lot to work on. We try to do our best. Reconstruction takes time. »From Michaël Guigou, the captain of the France team.
