Still among the favourites but rarely present, the Blues have a problem… Now identified a priori.
It was supposed to be their Olympics. Under the leadership of Hervé Renard, the players of the French team had every chance of being crowned Olympic champions on home soil this summer. However, as at the World Cup a year earlier, it was at the cursed quarter-final stage that Les Bleues stopped. As is too often the case.
” We did not achieve the objective of going beyond the quarter-finals.Jean-Michel Aulas, head of women’s football at the French Football Federation, told L’Equipe. I have to admit it, I humbly admit it, even if it is difficult for me… But this is the last time we won’t succeed! »
A mental problem
How on earth can the former Lyon leader take such a gamble? We had no excusehe rewinds.
There is a huge frustration because everything was there, we had the coach we wanted, we had the players since we had recovered all the injured players that we did not have at the World Cup. Something extraordinary was happening in France with the Olympics. We should have done the same as the others and we did not succeed. But we were able to detect the origin of our problem: it is mental. »
Jean-Michel Aulas believes he has found the right remedy for the disease. By associating Laurent Bonadei, former assistant and successor to Hervé Renard, with the former mental trainer of the four-time Olympic swimming champion Léon Marchand, Thomas Sammut. According to Agence France Presse, the latter, who is now working with Stade Brestois, will join the French staff to prepare for Euro 2025 scheduled in Switzerland next July.
