A little less than three months after the disappointment of the Euro, the Bleues found the prosecution, this Thursday in a friendly against Germany in Trier. The players of Sébastien Gardillou, who will find the Germans on Saturday in Besançon, imposed themselves on the score of 28-25, not without suffering much in the second half.
Winning return for the Blue. Almost three months to the day after the disappointment of this Euro which ended in a fourth place for the French, beaten in the small final by Hungary two days after having already bowed, against Denmark in the semi-finals, the Olympic vice-championes of Paris this summer for the farewell to the selection of Olivier Krumbholz made their return to the prosecution on Thursday Faremier of the two friendly matches on the program of this weekend before the reunion between the two teams, Saturday in Besançon.
A resumption of the competition that went well for the players now trained by Sébastien Gardillou. Thanks in particular to a very good defensive performance in the first half which allowed them to return to the locker room with a very wide advance (18-10), the French kept three goals in advance (28-25), sufficient to find a smile for an evening after the fiasco of the last euro.

Largely dominating during the first period, Laura Glauser, promoted to captain in the absence of an Estelle Nze Minko who had learned shortly before the start that she is one of the three finalists for the title of player of the year, and her teammates, however, knew after the return of the locker room a big drop in regime, especially in terms of efficiency.
Germany, operating in particular the numerous temporary exclusions (five) on the French side, took the opportunity to return to the contact of these Bleues whose team had voluntarily been rejuvenated by Gardillou, who had left numerous executives at rest for this first meeting against the Germans but recorded the return of Méline Nocandy, absent from the Euro on injury. Present on the prosecution, Oriane Ondono and Alicia Toublanc, co-moving scientists of the match with 5 goals, greatly contributed to this revival of the revival.
