Egypt - France (30:32)

A duel almost nobody could see coming

  • Published:

These teams getting to the semifinal is a sensation in itself, and after today's duel, one of the teams will get at least the silver medal

The previews are brought to you exclusively by our reporter from Brazil, the host country of the WC!

It seems that there is something to the Egyptian coach Sayed. He played and got a junior gold in 1993, and now he's two steps away from getting the same result as a coach. But, even getting to the semifinal is already a big success, it's a lot more than anyone expected before the championship even started.

- This win is as big as the one in the 1993 final - the Egyptian coach commented after beating Sweden in the quarterfinal.

- I feel like we can win the championship now.

The result was completely unexpected: the Swedes played great, and were the first favorites for the gold. The Egyptian defense weren't that easy to deal with, as expected, but still not so much that they would decide who wins the match. The Swedes made that decision with all the missed clear shots they had. They would usually score those in previous duels, and wouldn't show mercy to their opponents. Not this time, and so they lost.

- We really didn't outplay them technically nor tactically, we were just more aggressive - Sayed was honest.

They'll try to beat another European representative who were surprised to get as far as they did. The French weren't even close to the semifinals until they came to play this championship. But, they used their chance to the fullest this time, thanks to all the absences their opponents were dealing with. However, no one should deny their game which did get better, especially defensively. They proved it in the quarterfinal.

Thanks to the defense, the goalie Meyer was great once again (12/27). His team used that and were leading 7-2 by the 12th minute. The Romanians then had a 3-0 series, which was the only period of the game where Bertholet's team didn't dominate. But in 15 minutes after that series, the French conceded only three goals, and scored 10. They finished the half-time with a nice advantage, 17-8.

- It was a pleasure to watch this match. It never happened before that we play both sides this well - Bertholet commented after getting through to the semifinal.

The left-handed Delecroix was brilliant, he scored 10, but it's questionable whether he, and the rest of the French backs, will be able to adjust to the Egpytian defense. That should suit the movable Tritti, and the middle back Saidani. But, after the sensation the Egpytians performed two days ago, and their mentality, any kind of a team would have a hard time facing them today. 

- That's the team that will play with their heart till the end of the match, but they also know how to keep their head cool - Saidani praised the, and warned about the key point to the win:

- We definitely can't allow ourselves 9 sending-offs like we had against Romania.

The French would have even more problems against the Egyptian defense if they had a player less, and that would allow the fastbacks on the other side. That's how the Swedes got eliminated, plus all the stupid moves they themselves made. If the French manage to stay focused and avoid similar problems, they have a decent chance to make it to the European final.
