Handball: PSG still invincible in the Starligue

2020-11-14T18:31:57.167Z


The players of the capital consolidated their first place in the standings after their victory (27-31) in Nîmes this Saturday.


After a fierce duel and a long suspense, the PSG players won (27-31), this Saturday, in Nîmes during the 8th day of Starligue.

Still undefeated, they consolidate the first place in the standings.

What you must remember

Three days after having known all the penalties in the world to win (30-33) to Tremblay, the red lantern, in a late match of the championship, Paris again suffered this Saturday to dismiss Nîmes (27-31) during the 8th day of Starligue.

The concerns experienced in coming to the Gard - the planned train was canceled at the last moment - continued in the field.

Unbeaten since the start of the Starligue season, the leader is jostled at the start of the match.

Led by the stainless Michaël Guigou, the “little big man” of the French hand, Nîmes quickly took control of the match.

The players of the capital, deprived of their leader Nikola Karabatic (operated on the anterior cruciate ligament of the right knee on October 28) are exceeded (11-8, 15th).

They make a lot of defensive mistakes.

An uncertain weather, the Dane Mikkel Hansen (finger) is called to the rescue and keeps his partners afloat.

He reminds everyone why he has been voted best player in the world three times by his peers.

But it is the entry into play of Vincent Gérard in the Parisian goals that changes the course of the game.

The Parisians return to equality just before half-time (16-16, 30th).

The second period reaches peaks of intensity.

Only the referees seem not to be up to the debates.

Distanced by 2 lengths to 10 minutes from the siren (24-22), the PSG ended up reversing the situation in the money-time by Nedim Remili, Mikkel Hansen and Elohim Prandi, the former darling of Nîmes.

The physical strength and experience of Parisians make the difference.

The final exclusion of Luka Karabatic for a bad gesture 6 minutes from the end will not change anything.

Paris can now turn calmly to the reception of the Portuguese from Porto on Wednesday in the Champions League.

With this new success, they have a record of 7 victories in as many games and consolidate their leadership position.

No team can keep pace with the reigning six-time French champion.

The player.

Vincent Gerard

His entry into the game changed the face of the game.

PSG was badly embarked on their duel against Nîmes (-2) when, a few minutes from the end of the first period, Raul Gonzalez decided to change option and goalkeeper.

Yann Genty (author of 2 saves in 11 shots) leaves his place to Vincent Gérard.

As soon as he entered the field, the goalkeeper of the France team increased the stops (4 out of 5 shots) and allowed PSG to return to equality just before half-time (16-16).

He will finish with 10 saves at 43% success.

The phrase

“The match is played in the last minutes but we are not surprised because we were aware that Nîmes would be valiant.

It's not easy for us because we go through the matches, we leave a lot of energy, but that's not an excuse.
