In the totally crazy genre, the Flensburg – Paris SG tonight certainly won the prize of the season … Totally out of the way during the first period and being completely absent for 10 minutes, the Parisians were sailing towards a memorable beating with the 19-10 at the break. And yet, Paris has managed to come back from everything to afford the right to dream of a victory. Dream flew at the end of the match with blunders and failures investigated in spades and which will offer the two points on a plateau at SG Flensburg.
In any case, Paris will have to work on this start of the match which will spoil all hopes too quickly. Unable to control Jim Gottfridsson and his teammates, the Parisians will sink by being led 5-2 then even more sharply 9-3. 12 minutes of nothing or not much and after the -7 of the 14 °, Paris will finally start to put itself in Champions League mode. With Kamil Syprzak still impeccable in pivot. With Mikkel Hansen who crucifies Benjamin Buric over the 7 meters and a lot of defensive solidarity, the PSG will return to 3 units before falling again into nothingness. An end of the first period almost more catastrophic than its start and in the end a 19-10 which smelled very, very bad …
The recovery will be even more worrying! An exclusion of Viran Morros, a red on Dylan Nahi and as Mikkel Hansen was still under the sanction of the 2 minutes taken at the end of the first half, Paris was playing with 3 field players… But it is this moment which will undoubtedly make the switch in the heads of Paris. Vincent Gerard who makes the monumental stops, Luc Steins who colds the entire Hanseatic defense and who scores, and at 4 against 7 Paris who sticks a 2-0 and revives. This raise is so huge that it will allow men to Raul gonzales to nibble little by little this chasm of 9 goals. Despite the stops by Benjamin Buric, despite still some nice offensive blunders, Paris under the baton of a Luc Stein which becomes over the weeks, essential for the proper functioning of the attack of the PSG, will go from 10-19 to 24-22 to the 47 ° and especially in a dynamic which put Flensburg in the hard at all the levels almost. Unfortunately this will be the moment that the pivots of Paris will choose to come up against all as much as they are with Benjamin Buric on golden opportunities in the game of 7 set up by the Parisian coach. Added to that a devilish interception of Viran Morros but whose shot crashes on the bar. A shot in the empty cage of Vincent Gérard missed while simply playing the rise of the ball to secure the shot, Paris shot himself again in the foot, being unable to finish his extraordinary recovery in apotheosis.
A 28-27 defeat which sounded the death knell for hopes of 2nd place and the 3rd match in 4 days for PSG who must now end their crazy week in Istres on Sunday before being able to breathe a little and realize that except for a huge surprise , Paris will have as adversary the HBC Nantes in 8th final …
