Thierry Omeyer, goalkeeper of the French team: “The Brazilian team have improved tremendously over the last years. They now have a lot of players that are playing in Europe, and who are used to playing big games in the Champions League. They play quite a different type handball from what we are used to. They are very aggressive in defence, and they always try to disturb the opposite offence. They also have some atypical players. We analysed all that, we worked on it, and we are preparing ourselves for a tough game.”
