“
They must be happy in Paris
”.
At the microphone of BeIn Sport after the meeting, Vincent Gérard did not try to hide his bitterness after the defeat of the French team against Sweden (34-33) in the semi-finals.
Partly because of a man, Andreas Palicka, who will succeed him in the Paris SG cage next season.
Already brilliant in the first period when he had made 7 saves, the Scandinavian made the difference in money-time.
Both times on a Ludovic Fabregas who should have nightmares for a long time thinking about the Swede.
Both times on point-blank shots from six yards.
Dominating throughout the second period, the Swedes nevertheless came close to overtime by losing a ball 20 seconds from the end, offering a final chance to the Blues.
Served by Dika Mem, Fabregas broke free from his vis-à-vis (with a fault on the way?) but then he stumbled on a Palicka author of a huge parry on the ground.
As if he had read the Barcelona pivot's intentions like a big open book.
And this time, he could shake his fist and savor this 12th parade which sent his team to the Euro final against Spain on Sunday (6:00 p.m.).
