Find the reactions of the players and the coach of the France team after the victory against Algeria (29-26) at the World Handball Championship in Egypt.


Luc Abalo (Winger of the France team, at the microphone of BeIN Sport):

“There are plenty of players who do not have the experience of a great competition.

We knew that we were going to encounter difficulties against this team from Algeria.

And before the match, psychologically, we approached the match badly, telling ourselves that we have no right to lose and miss things.

Everyone wants to do well, to have fun and as soon as that doesn't work, we start to panic.

It is no longer the great French team of ten years ago.

We cannot dominate every game.

Valentin Porte (Winger of the France team, at the microphone of BeIn Sport):

“It was very difficult.

This match plus the one against Switzerland is a lot.

We will retain the victory, but we will have to raise our level.

We can not always be on a wire because we will be punished at some point.

We had a very bad start to the game and that's what sets the turn of the rest.

Against Norway, we started very well.

But since then, we start less well, with less desire, we have died of hunger less.

We dragged this bad start the whole game. ”

Nicolas Tournat (Pivot of the France team, at the microphone of BeIn Sport):

“It was difficult.

We knew we were going to get hit.

We fell into their trap and had a tough game from start to finish.

We have to be much harder and more focused on ourselves, like against Norway and Austria.

We must re-mobilize.

But at the same time, we are winning and we must not fall into too much negativity.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm fully involved in the team. "

Guillaume Gille (Coach of the France team, at the microphone of BeIn Sport):

“It was a very narrow victory.

We will just retain these two points.

But clearly the copy is to be reviewed.

We have sinned in many sectors for lack of control, aggressiveness in the defensive duel or against the opposing goalkeeper.

We also lost a lot of balls in fairly simple situations.

It is clear that we were hoping to experience a more controlled match, with a balance of power that leans more clearly in our favor.

I am disappointed with our collective performance, with the impression of not having been able to stack the positive moments.

We had flashes of lightning but behind, there were losses of ball and defensive mistakes which cost us dearly.

When we see the match unfolding, we have the impression that the France team can not let go.

There is fragility in our game when we had a very good performance against Norway. ”
