A bad final impression that should not spoil the overall progress?
Everyone will interpret the course of the France team as they wish on this Egyptian World Cup, but Guillaume Gille has clearly chosen the glass half-full: “As a competitor, you can never be satisfied and resolve to see an opponent. winner of a confrontation.
Despite everything, when you see what we went through against the Hungarians, what we had to face in terms of numbers, I find that the course is very positive.
This is what I want to remember.
We showed a beautiful image of the French hand ”.
Much better, it is true, than what we expected after a year of worries on and off the field.
But the two big defeats conceded in quick succession in the semi-finals against Sweden and then this Sunday in the match for the bronze medal, remind us how much this France team is based on fragile balances.

“We all dreamed of a better exit but a semi-final, a match for 3rd place, are revealing that show us our current limits and the way we have yet to go.
At times, it was satisfactory but over the duration of a match, we could not stabilize our defensive level to the height we hoped for.
" In summary ?
The sensations are encouraging, but the Olympics are still far away and the Olympic qualifying tournament scheduled for April promises to be stressful, as planned.
