Bad news for the French women, a few hours before their first match at the Women’s World Cup in Australia. The players will face Jamaica without Elisa De Almeida. The French stopper is forfeited. In question: a blow received in the calf. She can no longer set foot in training, said coach Hervé Renard.
Saturday’s break allowed Les Bleues to recharge their batteries, according to Wendie Renard, captain of the France team, but also to dig into video analysis and tactics. With a particular focus on the Jamaican Khadija Shaw, who has almost a goal per game in her last four seasons with the club.
An attacker capable of playing in pivot, of making others play, but also of finishing actions, underlines Wendie Renard. A formidable attacker for coach Hervé Renard. Even if he points out that his players know her well, after his time in Bordeaux.
The main thing for the coach and the captain of the France team is that Les Bleues start their match with a lot of intensity. Let them be present from the start of the meeting. But also, that they answer in the duels.
Good news finally: Selma Bacha, the winger injured in the friendly match against Australia, was able to resume the race without apparent discomfort.
Denmark won against China, final score: 1 to 0. England, reigning European champions, laboriously entered the competition. Sluggish victory 1 to 0 against Haiti. Japan won their game against Zambia, 5-0. And the United States won their first game against Vietnam, 3-0.
To follow today on NC the 1st TV, the match Sweden / South Africa, at 4:45 p.m. As for the Bleues, they enter the field this Sunday. They face Jamaica at 9 p.m. local time.
