Disappointed, inevitably, Nikola Karabatic after the elimination of the French handball team at Euro 2020 after a new defeat, this time against the host country (26-28). For him it's simple: getting out in the first round "is not the result we must have when we wear the jersey" of the French team.

“It's very disappointing to go out like this. Tonight we fought, we believed in it for a while, we knew not to lose confidence in a very tense match on both sides. At the end, as against Portugal, some small adjustments, collective misunderstandings, individual errors, me first, cost us dearly, it does not forgive against the vice-world champion. We got used to the podiums and even when we finished third we talked about competition not necessarily successful. It is a big black spot, but we already had it before the Olympic Games. "

Except that this time, the French are not yet guaranteed to go to the Olympics. Before that, you will have to scratch one of the two tickets offered by the TQO in the spring.
