A real box full.
The French team left nothing lying around during qualifying for Euro 2022 which will take place next November in North Macedonia, Montenegro and Slovenia.
Four successes in a row, one of the first two places in Group 4 already in the pocket and therefore a qualification acquired two days before the end of this qualifying campaign.
The Olympic champions did not hesitate to add style, winning well against Croatia this Sunday in Toulouse (27-19).
In fact, if they struggled last Thursday in Koprivnica against these same Croats (21-19), this time the girls of Olivier Krumbholz played their handball, mainly in the second period.
If before the break, it was above all Laura Glauser who had shone in goal, a first gap was still made after the first 30 minutes thanks to a boost just before the break (13-9).

Subsequently, the offensive cogs finally oiled, they widened the gap in the wake of Océane Sercien Ugolin, Estelle Nze Minko, Onacia Ondono and Grace Zaadi (4 goals each).
A great international parenthesis for Grace Zaadi, whose club future is uncertain since she plays in Rostov, a Russian city near the border with Ukraine.
“We had a much better match than Thursday, appreciated Olivier Krumbholz.
I found the game to be fun.
The French team remained serious for 60 minutes, which made it possible to score fairly wide at the end.
We have to continue to work and everyone has to find their place and take their responsibilities.
We are far from our maximum, but it is normal, we have finished a cycle and we are starting another.
The national coach will be able to enjoy the last two matches in the Czech Republic on April 20 and then during the reception of Ukraine on April 23 (this match may not take place due to the invasion of Ukraine by Russia) in order to carry out tests within a rejuvenated but still efficient team.
