L'équipe de France de handball a remporté son deuxième match amical de la semaine à Montpellier, en s'imposant facilement contre l'Egypte (39-31), samedi 16 mars à la Sud de France Arena. 

While we thought the confrontation against the African champion was a little more indecisive than that of Thursday against Argentina (32-23), it It didn't end up being anything. Holder of the European and Olympic title, the French team largely did the job against Egypt in front of a Sud de France Arena this time filled to the brim.

With this second victory in three days, Guillaume Gille's Blues close this international break in the best possible way, before meeting again during a new training camp from May 6 to 12, with a new friendly match on the 11th, facing an as yet unknown opponent. Before the start of Olympic preparation from June 20. 

Prandi, in line with the Euro

On Saturday, the French only led by three goals at the break, despite Elohim Prandi in line with his very good Euro. The left back only played one half, but still finished top scorer with 7/8 on the clock.

Concerning the goalkeepers, a subject that the coach Guillaume Gille will have to deal with with four very good players in the position, Vincent Gérard played the first half with 7 saves on the clock.

Porte and Desbonnet in the stands

Before leaving his place after the break to Montpellier Charles Bolzinger (5 saves), in front of the eyes of the other MHB goalkeeper Rémi Desbonnet, in the stands. Just like his club captain, Valentin Porte, two days after the announcement of the end of his international career. 

In the second half, the French team pressed the accelerator against the Egyptians who had dropped somewhat in level, undoubtedly weakened by Ramadan, notably thanks to the good entry of Kentin Mahé (5/6) at center half, or the numerous goals from left winger Dylan Nahi (5/6).
