“Full light this week on joao machado, the last bastion of draguignan var handball.  Arrived in the off-season, this friendly Portuguese (26 years old, 1.91 m) wasted no time in acclimatizing to the ruthme of the Côte d’Azur and his new club.  In any case, in a few weeks he quickly became the “darling” of the supporters of the gymnasium chabran.  Again on Saturday, he alone discouraged attackers for an hour by multiplying parries and stops.  more than fifteen in total. In any case, it will have been phenomenal at all levels.”
