The Colombian has quickly weighed on the defense of the Rhone.

Euro: The Blues fall but pass

Already projected towards the semi-finals of the Danish Euro, the France team was not unworthy despite the defeat of the Sweden, Wednesday (28-30). A consecutive loss to a very wide turn over for Blues that led until 10 minutes from time. But the essence is not there, licensees have been able to blow before the duel with the Spain.
Prepare the Spain. This is probably the master-word for a Claude Onesta who would still prefer that his team finished with a 6 of 6 in the phase of hens this is which is never unpleasant. He asked his players to take this match 'like a life-size training", he was not disappointed. Its rotations worked for 50 minutes approximately until the Sweden will end with a bang face bis training, really less straightforward.
The fact remains that the France team had made before work even started this last match. The victory over Belarus (39-30) combined with the Poland against these same Swedish (35-25) had validated the ticket for the semifinals. A place in the last four, and the ticket for the next World Championship that goes with, face of the Spanish winners of Macedonia (33-22).

It gives some game time, take it
Onesta

A meeting will be not used for anything, far from it. Moreover, we saw blue quickly master the debates. "It was a first correct period to the level of engagement. After with rotations, it became more complicated. It did not bobos, it was the most important... ", also explains the captain Jérôme Fernandez on Canal + Sport. This explains a few beautiful passages with an advantage at the break for the Blues (16-14). Not really annoying, the tricolour will count up to 3 goals in advance (20-17, 42nd). This is complicated, but the team was then in a very distant version of what she will face Spanish world champions.
"It gives you some game time, take it. There's no anxiety to take over this game. You are afraid of what? Bullshit, it is already done! Free yourself! ", loose Onesta in his time dead." This doesn't really effect, especially for a Nyokas visibly lacking in confidence. The Sweden succeeds at this moment and escapes 27-24 despite the 1400th purpose of Jérôme Fernandez. Under the leadership of Honrubia, the French limit case-sensitive (28-30). But of course, the key was elsewhere.

When Paris was equalized by Cavani to receipt of a centre of Digne, well offset by Pastore (30th), a reversal of trend scenario seemed to draw. But Cavani missed before the empty goal the consersion of a double opportunity Pastore - Lucas (32nd). This was the turning point of the match. Much less sharp after the break, Paris has cracked a second time, on a corner from Cabella slammed head by Montano between van der Wiel and Marquinhos (69th).
