France without hope: “You get a little worried” – Aftonbladet

Zagreb. Loses Sweden tonight is France’s semi-final jump out when three hours later pitted against Holland.

The Netherlands who shall defeat France great to catch up with Sweden.

– You get a little worried, says Louise Sand.

Sweden is France’s hope tonight.

Sweden must win against Montenegro in France, victory against Holland, to be able to go to the semifinals.

– Go, Sweden! Go, Sweden, says the French coach Alain Portes.

But losing Sweden against the reigning European champions tonight arises a somewhat delicate situation in which the matches in the final round as usual in EM can not simultaneously. Then, namely France’s semi-final chance already gone when three hours after the Sweden-Montenegro is over, at 20:15, making the return against Holland.

Should chase

Holland to hunt down Sweden head start in goal difference and take a semi-final place before the blue and yellow.

Say that Sweden will lose by five goals against Montenegro – then you need Holland win with six goals against France already sawed-off from the semi-finals.

– You get a little worried when thinking so first. But it is a national team and you always want to make the country proud. It’s not just about handball in the European Cup, says Louise Sand when Sporting blade pulls the prerequisites late Tuesday night.

“We want to be number three”

And the French star Siraba Dembele soothes:

– I understand how you think. But this is sport. They always try to win every game. We will do everything we can, she promises.

The French coach Alain Portes argues that it has a lot to play for anyway.

– We want to be third in the group and play for fifth to sixth place to take an Olympic kvalplats, he said.

So we can expect that you will do all you can?

– Yes, yes, yes.

filed the protest

But France submitted a protest yesterday after the match against Germany, which they claimed that the Germans scored by a player for much of the track .

– The judge has made a huge error. But I do not expect to get through the protest. The announcement comes on Wednesday morning, said coach Alain Portes Sportbladet.

Should the protest go through Germany loses the match and France goes from five to six points before the ruling. Thus, one can poke away Sweden from a semi-final if it wins against Holland and Sweden loses against Montenegro.
