The French women's team has started badly its Euro, losing straight away against a strong Russian team (23-26) this Thursday in Nancy. Reigning world champions, Olivier Krumbholz's players led only a small part of the match, and his executives did not perform well enough. Still tied at half-time, the Tricolores ended up being overwhelmed by the Russian individualities who finally took over, as was the case two years ago in the final of the Olympic Games in Rio.
"If we win this match, we will be European champion", said the French right-back Alexandra Lacrabère before the match.This bad result does not tarnish the chances of the Blue to reach the semi-finals of the competition, but this first match has already shown that they still have progress to be made, especially offensively.
Illusion after the break, then …
Proof, teammates Siraba Dembélé waited no less than 7 minutes before opening the mark in this part. Never more than two goals behind the Russians in the first act, France was able to count on an excellent Amandine Leynaud in the cages, and returned under the impulse of Orlane Kanor, who finished the first half at 4/4 shooting (6 goals in the end).
The French were able to lead the return of the locker room, counting up to 3 goals in advance (15-12, 36th), they eventually fall back into their gap, although not helped by Anna Sedoykina, the opposing goalkeeper who has multiplied the parades.
Thanks to a ruthless Daria Samokhina (8 goals) and an excellent Daria Dmitrieva (9 goals), the girls of coach to the four world titles Evgueni Trefilov have ended up widening a decisive gap, which perfectly launches their competition. The Blue will have to raise the head on Sunday against the modest Slovenia, his executioner of the opening match at the German World a year ago. The proof that nothing is lost for the Blue ones.
