It was a remake of the 2013 final… And it was another failure for the Bleuets! Authors of a flawless performance in this U21 World Cup which is taking place in Malaysia, and after defeating Spain in the semi-finals (3-1), the young Tricolores lost in the final against Germany ( 2-1) and will not win their first world champion title in field hockey.
While they quickly opened the scoring thanks to Jules Verrier in the second quarter, they were then overthrown by their opponents, much more solid and defensively compact, in the third round. The future stars of tomorrow therefore did not do better than their elders, who also lost in the final against the Germans (5-2). But this time, it’s a bit of a disappointment since the Bleuets won against them during the group stage without conceding any goals (2-0).
For its part, Germany consolidates its status as a world specialist in field hockey by winning the title for the seventh time in the U21 category, its first since 2013, which constitutes a record.
