Last part of the All-Access mini-series, a little sweetness offered by the FFBB to allow us to follow from the inside the course of the French women’s team at the 2022 World Cup. Focus today on the release in quarters of Les Bleues, but also and above all on a future full of promise.
We know the images of the match once morest China, but it’s always nice to quickly relive a match that was so committed, so rhythmic, and which ultimately didn’t amount to much once morest one of the best teams in the world. It will have lacked a little juice to the French, some holders also it must be said, but the exit in quarter of the Blue is in no way a disappointment given what will have been proposed during a big week in Sydney. The highlight of this latest Australian All-Access? The French locker room following the defeat, first congratulated by the new boss Jean-Aimé Toupane, aware that he has got his hands on a group that can go very far, then especially that of Captain Sarah Michel, obliged to motivate her troops a little more in view, already, of the next deadlines. Yes there are tears, but the promises are there for Euro 2023 and the Olympic Games in Paris. There is youth (Marine Fauthoux and Iliana Rupert are… 2001), there is experience and girls who will slam their Last Dance in Paris in selection (Gruda, Miyem, Michel?), there is the LeBron of the FFBB (Gabby Williams) and a whole pool of young players capable of dominating – at least – Europe in the years to come.
Great moments lived in Sydney thanks to this French team, which landed without too many landmarks and which leaves with some certainties, and at least that of a group which was born in Australia. Go quickly, next.
