The Blues want to take off for the quarters. With a flawless performance since the start of the competition (4 wins in 4 matches) despite a complicated entry into the competition against Angola (30-29), the French women’s handball team is already looking ahead to the quarter-finals of the 2023 World Cup. In the event of a victory against South Korea this Friday (6 p.m.), Olivier Krumbholz’s players will even already qualify.
A team that the French largely dominated in a friendly just before the World Cup (36-19). “There are good players in this team but if we stay on the same dynamic, we should win,” said coach Olivier Krumbholz. Better still, the Blues, at the top of Group II of the main round with the Norwegians (6 points), can even afford to lose to Korea to obtain their ticket if Norway beats Slovenia at the same time.
Enough to see each other in the quarterfinals before playing? “We shouldn’t say that, it would be putting the cart before the horse,” replied guard Laura Glauser. Against Korea it will be an atypical match, totally different from the friendly. » To be a little more suspicious, Estelle Nze Minko’s partners can also recall the bad memory of 2019 where a defeat against the same Koreans as soon as they entered the World Cup (27-29) led them to early elimination .
The Women’s Handball World Cup match between France and South Korea is scheduled for 6 p.m. this Friday, December 8, and will be broadcast live on beIN Sports 1, and unencrypted on TFX.
