You can have won everything a thousand times and rejoice again and again in the crazy scenarios that handball can provide.

Nikola Karabatic recognizes it without difficulty, this incredible match against the Danes, which the Blues seemed unable to win before stealing the cash register at the finish, he is not about to forget it.

“We had no right to give up”

“It was a match that we will all remember for a very long time.

We were almost like against Iceland after the first half, in terms of our state of mind.

We could have let go and lowered our heads, let them sink us.

But we continued to have faith in what we were doing.

In the first half we were unsuccessful.

We continued our game, without refusing the shots and so as not to have any regrets.

It was a real mental test and I'm proud to have played that game.

Everyone brought a little something decisive, while the Blues needed a draw to see the semi-finals. Thus, Wesley Pardin and Vincent Gérard, pierced on all sides in the first period, raised their level as they went along, especially the second: “We had no right to give up. However, it would have been easier mentally to say to oneself "We beat them in the final of the Games, it was the match to be won and too bad" there was not a single change of mood in this team, not a only time I felt this feeling compared to my teammates when I was in difficulty. It's a real pride to play with these guys because that's where we see a real group cohesion! ".

It is easy to imagine the foot that the captain of this fearless and blameless squad must have taken, the full-back Valentin Porte: "This kind of match makes it possible to make the adventure more beautiful, to please the spectators surely and above all to forge the character of a team.

This evening we went looking for her with the guts, the head, with everything”.

See you on Friday against Sweden for another breathtaking duel.
