He Egypt World Cup, atypical and rare like any other because of the bubble created around him to circumvent the pandemic, casts the curtain with the two finals, the consolation one and the one that will grant the world scepter for the next two years. The Spain led by Jordi Ribera has to play the first. The goal to add a bronze medal against the Gallic national team, another of the cockerels of world handball. The meeting will begin at 2:30 p.m. and can be followed through Teledeporte.
It may be the last game of some of the members of the best generation of this sport in our country, waiting for there to be or not Games this coming summer. The 2013 World Cup and two consecutive Europeans have made the past decade the best of this discipline at an international level. A medal would be the best culmination to confirm the good work you are doing Jordi Ribera, who will have to perform an obligatory generational change in the coming years, especially on the front line, and to give entry to the Ian Tarrafeta, Chema Márquez, David Fernández and company.
Without a doubt, the Hispanics have had good handball moments such as the excellent first half against Norway or the match with Germany, but they have not had the necessary consistency, especially in defense. And if something has been the business card of the national team it is defense and goal, running and continuity in the game. Against Denmark was the realization that if the defense does not maintain a regularity, this time accompanied by a poor success in goal, the chances of victory diminish significantly. Mikkel Hansen or Morten Toft Olsen, this during the first half, as well as the pivot Magnus Saugstrup evidenced the problems of the Spanish 6: 0.
It is true that Spain has gone from less to more throughout the championship, but it did not give its best version against the powerful Denmark. Despite this, the Hispanics had the option to equalize in the last minute, but the ball crashed off the crossbar after passing Niklas Landin.
This World Cup has been the confirmation of the Dujshebaev brothers as the present of the selection. The two profiles of the front row are covered with Álex and Daniel, the two offshoots of that handball legend called Talant Dujshebaev. Along with them the irruption of Ruben Marchán, a physically powerful pivot, another one of the pleasant surprises. And it is that in attack, Spain has been one of the best teams.
Low
France is not at its best in this consolation final. They lost to Sweden in the semifinals in a match in which they were beaten from top to bottom by the Nordic team. The baja de Luka Karabatic in defense it was too noticeable, as the Swedes easily found a rival goal that did not perform well either. Nor could they count on Timothey N’Guessan. They showed signs of being with the reserve on, with some of their stars with clear signs of fatigue.
Among its key players, the pivot and the Barça left-hander Ludovic Fabregas y Dika Mem. Superb extremes with Michael Guigou, Luc Abalo or Hugo Descat. Kentin Mahé usually carries the weight of the game from the central position, since he usually shares with the left-hander Nedim Remili. The team that coaches Guillaume Gille, one of the legends of French handball, did not give its best version against the Swedes. But no one can deny that the French team has always stood out for its competitive gene. And a bronze medal is not a bad consolation.
