PARIS, Dec 16 - RIA Novosti, Ildar Satdinov. The handball players of the Russian national team lost to the French team in the final and became the owners of the silver medals of the European Championship. The match, which took place on Sunday in Paris, ended with a score of 24:21 in favor of the hosts of the tournament.

"Yellow vests" did not interfere with the Russian team

The handball players of the Russian national team went to the European Championship with almost the strongest squad, and the team was tasked with winning medals of the tournament. Already in the opening match, the Russians had to play with the hostesses - the French team wanted to take revenge on the team of Evgeny Trefilov for the 2016 Olympics. In Rio de Janeiro, Russian handball players first defeated the team of Olivier Kryumbolts in the group stage, and then in the final.

The Russians coped with the pressure of the hosts of the tournament and the roaring stands and won the opening match in Nancy - 26:23. Then they dealt with Montenegrins (24:23) and advanced ahead of schedule to the next (main) group stage European championship. In the last match of the preliminary round, which no longer decided anything, Trefilov's team lost to the Slovenians (27:29). The result of this meeting was not taken into account at the next stage, and two victories went towards the main round.

Then the Russian handball players moved from Nancy to Nantes and were supposed to play with the Serbs on December 8th. However, on this day in France, the next protests of the "yellow vests" movement, which initially opposed the increase in gasoline prices, were planned. Safety is paramount, and therefore the match of the Russian national team was postponed from December 8 to 9. Force majeure did not prevent Trefilov's team, which won - 29:25.

Next, the Russian team easily dealt with the Danish team (32:21) and advanced to the semi-finals for the first time in the last 10 years. "I'm surprised that we defeated the Danes with such a difference in the score," Anna Vyakhireva said. "We thought the match would be more difficult. Probably, it's because we've tuned in properly and just didn't let the Danes enter the game and catch their rhythm. The second The match in two days was an extra motivation for our team."

The French women took revenge for the 2016 Olympics

The final match of the main round against the Swedes no longer had a tournament value. In this meeting, Trefilov let the main squad play, and the Swedes won a convincing victory - 39:30. Together with the Russian team, the teams of France, the Netherlands and Romania reached the semi-finals. Thus, all four teams qualified for the 2019 World Cup.

Before the semi-final, the Romanian team suffered a serious loss - their leader Cristina Neagu dropped out due to injury. Despite this, the team of Ambros Martin imposed a struggle on the Russians, and the teams went to the break with the score 16:15 in favor of the Trefilov team.

Gradually, the Russian handball players surpassed their rivals thanks to a reliable game in defense and striking attacks - 28:22. Vyakhireva scored 13 goals, and the Russian team reached the final of the European Championship for the first time since 2006. In another semi-final, the French confidently beat the Dutch - 27:21.

“There will be a very cool game, a straight fight,” Anna Sen said on the eve of the final. “I hope we can defend in defense and score more on the transition. The French team has a very good goalkeepers and in general a very experienced team, in which there are players who have already won a lot. We will fight, we will try to win."

Start final match got extremely nervous. The Russians often lost the ball in attack, thanks to which the rivals took the lead. The 15,000-seat arena "Bercy" exploded with thunderous applause at every successful action of the French women, who also did not play flawlessly. The teams went to the break with a minimal advantage of the hostesses (13:12).

Passions flared to the limit when, at the beginning of the second half, the referees sent off the captain of the French national team, Alison Pino. When breaking through the seven-meter, she hit goalkeeper Anna Sedoykina in the face, for which she received a direct red card. In this case, the goal was counted. The stands whistled for a long time, the coaches of the hostesses stormed the referee's table, but the removal remained in force.

This episode only mobilized the French women, who continued to lead with a difference of two or three goals. The Russian national team, however, with great difficulty broke into the defense of rivals, the team lacked ingenuity and speed in attack. As a result, the French team retained the victory and won the European Championship for the first time, while this tournament has not yet been submitted to the Russians.

No one believed in the French team. Norway was considered too strong to lose in the final. Yes, the French played well and very pragmatically, relying on defense, but the Norwegian attack looked flawless.

The start of the final only confirmed these thoughts - the Scandinavians opened the opponents' defense with accurate passes into the line, which turned into either goals or 7-meter penalties. When the scoreboard became 7:4 in favor of Norway, they finally stopped believing in French women. Nevertheless, in the next attack, the Norwegians did not score a penalty, and then relaxed a little, allowing the rivals to level the score - 8:8.

With each passing minute, France played better in defense, and Le Bleu's goalkeepers worked wonders in the frame. In Norway, meanwhile, serious problems began to arise: quick transitions did not work out, the compact and mobile defense of the French did not fail during positional attacks. Surprisingly, at the end of the first half, the Norwegians failed to realize a two-man advantage in a minute, which is why the teams went to rest with the score 11:10 in favor of France.

At the beginning of the second half, Le Bleu managed to get into a small gap at all, creating a three-goal advantage for himself. Norway, however, added to the speed - and bounced back. Nora Mork and Veronica Christiansen did everything to bring the Scandinavians back into the game - and they succeeded (the score of 15:12 in favor of the French turned into 16:16).

However, then the Norwegians stopped again. They began to make too many mistakes, and their attacks became more and more chaos. France didn't play much better, losing balls in attack with the same regularity. The teams gave each other gifts, but no one wanted to use them.

At the moment when Norway took the lead with 5 minutes left (20:19), it seemed that this was the end. But the Scandinavians again failed to close the game, France scored two goals in a row and defended again. Then the French women threw another ball - and took the lead with a score of 22:20.

A minute before the end of the match, Norway played one ball, but failed to save the game. In their attack, Le Bleu scored 23 goals, finally removing all questions. The Norwegians carried out another attack, but it would not have changed anything. 23:21 in favor of France, which sensationally won the World Cup.

For the French, this is the second title of the strongest in the world - they previously won gold in 2003. Norway failed to defend the title of the best, becoming the silver medalist of the world championship for the third time in history. The bronze medalist of the World Championship was the Netherlands, who beat Sweden in the bronze final (24:21). For the Netherlands, this is the second consecutive medal at the Women's World Cup - in 2015 they took second place.

France women's national handball team in international competitions

On September 1, he came from the army to Moscow. He had nothing to do in Moscow; but he noticed that everyone from the army asked to go to Moscow and did something there. He also considered it necessary to take time off for household and family affairs. Berg, in his neat little droshky, on a pair of well-fed, savras little ones, exactly the same as one prince had, drove up to his father-in-law's house. He looked attentively into the yard at the carts and, entering the porch, took out a clean handkerchief and tied a knot. From the ante-room Berg, with a floating, impatient step, ran into the drawing-room and embraced the count, kissed the hands of Natasha and Sonya, and hurriedly asked about mother's health. What is your health now? Well, tell me, - said the count, - what about the troops? Are they retreating or will there be more fighting? “One eternal god, father,” said Berg, “can decide the fate of the fatherland. The army is burning with the spirit of heroism, and now the leaders, so to speak, have gathered for a meeting. What will happen is unknown. But I’ll tell you in general, dad, such a heroic spirit, truly ancient courage of the Russian troops, which they - it, - he corrected, - showed or showed in this battle on the 26th, there are no words worthy to describe them ... I’ll tell you, dad (he hit himself in the chest in the same way as one general who spoke in front of him hit himself, although a little late, because it was necessary to hit himself in the chest at the word "Russian army") - I will tell you frankly that we, the bosses, not only did we not have to urge the soldiers or anything like that, but we could hardly hold on to these, these ... yes, courageous and ancient feats, ”he said quickly. “General Barclay before Tolly sacrificed his life everywhere in front of the troops, I'll tell you. Our body was placed on the slope of the mountain. Can you imagine! - And then Berg told everything that he remembered from the various stories he had heard during this time. Natasha, not lowering her gaze, which confused Berg, as if looking for the solution of some question on his face, looked at him. - Such heroism in general, which Russian soldiers showed, cannot be imagined and deservedly praised! - Berg said, looking back at Natasha and as if wanting to appease her, smiling at her in response to her stubborn look ... - "Russia is not in Moscow, it is in the hearts of all sons!" So, papa? Berg said. At that moment, the Countess came out of the sofa-room, looking tired and displeased. Berg hastily jumped up, kissed the countess's hand, inquired about her health, and, expressing his sympathy by shaking his head, stopped beside her. - Yes, mother, I will tell you truly, hard and sad times for every Russian. But why worry so much? You still have time to leave... “I don’t understand what people are doing,” said the countess, turning to her husband, “they just told me that nothing is ready yet. After all, someone has to take care of it. So you will regret Mitenka. Will this end? The count wanted to say something, but apparently refrained. He got up from his chair and walked to the door. Berg at this time, as if to blow his nose, took out a handkerchief and, looking at the bundle, fell into thought, shaking his head sadly and significantly. “And I have a big request for you, dad,” he said. - Hm? .. - said the count, stopping. “I’m driving past Yusupov’s house right now,” Berg said, laughing. - The manager is familiar to me, ran out and asked if you could buy something. I came in, you know, out of curiosity, and there was only a wardrobe and a toilet. You know how much Verushka wanted this and how we argued about it. (Berg involuntarily turned into a tone of joy about his well-being when he began to talk about a chiffonier and a toilet.) And such a charm! comes forward with the English secret, you know? And Verochka has long wanted to. So I want to surprise her. I saw so many of these men in your yard. Give me one, please, I'll pay him well and... The Count winced and sighed. “Ask the countess, but I don’t order. “If it’s difficult, please don’t,” Berg said. - I would only really like for Verushka. “Ah, get out of here, all of you, to hell, to hell, to hell, to hell!” shouted the old count. - My head is spinning. And he left the room. The Countess wept. - Yes, yes, mama, very hard times! Berg said. Natasha went out with her father and, as if thinking something with difficulty, first followed him, and then ran downstairs.
