2024 Olympics. France – Norway: Total disappointment for the Blues, still defeated, the summary of the match

After a defeat at the start of the competition against Denmark (29-37), the French men's handball team followed up with a second setback in these 2024 Olympics against Norway (22-27) and finds itself with its back to the wall.

France 22 : 27

Norway Live~6 0~p>France lost again in these 2024 Olympics after its defeat against Norway (22-27). The first half of the Blues was very complicated. The French were unrecognizable. They suffered from the speed of execution of the Norwegians but above all cruelly lacked efficiency and precision up front. The Scandinavians managed to take a seven-goal lead. Before the break, the Blues finished better and reduced the gap to go into the locker room with a five-goal deficit. After half-time, Guillaume Gille's men injected new momentum. The latter were better while the Norwegians were experiencing a slump. However, the Tricolores were unable to get back into the game. And they would never manage to close a gap that had remained at around four goals. The last ten minutes were just a copy of the first half with terrible inefficiency in front of the Norwegian goal. The Blues will have to get back on their feet this Wednesday with a match that promises to be very difficult again against Egypt. 

20:35 – The rest for the Blues

After this new setback, the French team finds itself with its back to the wall in Group B. This Wednesday, the French will meet Egypt to try to secure a first victory before moving on to Argentina and Hungary. If qualification is not yet in question, there is still danger in the house as the play of the French team is worrying.
