Give everything. This is the mood of the italian handball players before the match against Romania, Thursday evening in Debrecen (Hungary), for the start of the main round of the european Championships. Undefeated in the first three matches of the preliminary round, the French can count on some certainties.
This impeccable performance allows France to place first in their group and start the main group with two points,even before their debut. Although new coach Sébastien Gardillou wanted to “get back to being the best defense in the world” before the tournament, his team is on the right track. He allowed just 60 points in three games, the best record in the competition. Goalkeepers, like Hatadou Sako against Spain (24-22; five saves in the second half), shined.

On an offensive level,the French still have some details to improve. A problem observed against the Spaniards according to Sébastien Gardillou. “We took the match very well, we found clear solutions but we weren’t able to transform them”, he underlined even though his players, in the first match, had scored 35 points against Poland (35 -22).
Romania almost at home
For this match there is only one uncertainty to declare. The lovely forward Marine Dupuis, a new international called up for the first time in October, was called in as a reinforcement after Coralie Lassource’s ankle injury against Portugal on Monday. The latter remains very uncertain for the match against the Romanians.
Romania,for its part,earned its place thanks to Tuesday’s victory against Serbia (27-25). The Romanian team’s best european performance dates back to 2010, when it won the bronze medal. The last victory against les Bleues dates back to that same year, and since then the French have won the last ten matches. For this match the romanians will play almost at home, given that Debrecen is located about forty kilometers from the Romanian border.
After Romania, the Blues will continue the following day against Montenegro, before meeting Sweden and Hungary in the main round. The top two in this group will qualify for the semi-finals.
