It happens that when they approach 40 years of age, the complaints become an obligatory toll before each start-up.

Aaaaay !, and up, from the bed, from the sofa, from the chair, because the body is no longer to flinch, even if it later completes an Ironman.

Spain, in the handball World Cup, the same.

There were moments of his debut against Brazil in which elimination seemed close, what a disaster, nothing worked, but this team is already an age.

Raúl Entrerríos, 39, Dani Sarmiento and Viran Morros, 37 or Gideón Guardiola, 36, we must give them a moment.

What will happen next?

Namely.

The tournament is exaggeratedly long, in fact, until the quarterfinals there are still five games left.

The silly draw on Friday (29-29) complicates the road, forces Poland to beat on Sunday and presumably to do the same in the second phase against Germany and Hungary, but nothing that has not been achieved before.

The important thing is to shake off the ailments.

Get up and start.

Because against Brazil, Spain spent too much time immobile.

The quiet of the first and last minutes of the game cost a victory that was a fact for a long time, with an advantage that reached six goals (24-18, min 39).

Before and after the break, the selection was intense, it was fast, it was the reigning European champion, but it simply got stuck.

In good times, Gonzalo Pérez de Vargas stood out in goal and Joan Cañellas in directing;

in the bad there was no savior.

And that Brazil was touched by the coronavirus.

Before the World Cup, the South American team registered five positives, among them, its coach Marcus 'Tatá' Oliveira and his benchmark side Thiagus Petrus, and had to call several substitutes who this Friday did not play.

Their arguments were the Barcelona side Haniel Langaro and the pivot Rogerio Moraes, that was enough for them.

In the last minute, moreover, Moraes put Brazil ahead by picking up a rebound, but Raúl Entrerríos saved a point with six seconds to go in the same way.
