The Nations League semi-final that the Blues play on Friday against Germany does not attract crowds. Some people think they know why.
The French women’s football team has a great match to play. Friday evening in Lyon, Hervé Renard’s daughters will have to do battle with Germany in the semi-finals of the Nations League. But ticket sales are not really conclusive and the stands could be quite empty. A lack of public enthusiasm that some understand and explain in their own way.
For Bertrand Latour, several explanations are possible. The channel journalist The Team gave his feelings on the subject this Thursday. “ I understand this lack of enthusiasm. There are fairly objective elements that can justify it. In this match in this case, the fact of playing on a Friday evening, you already exclude all the people who do not live in the Lyon region. The fact that this match is in direct confrontation with Metz-Lyon (9 p.m., 23rd day of Ligue 1) suggests that the people who would be interested in going to see the French women’s team are people who may also like Olympique Lyonnais . »
Several managers
For the observer, the media may also have a small part of responsibility in the affair. “ Perhaps a lack of communication around this meeting. We are perhaps also partly responsible. I’m not sure that the whole of France is aware that there is an important match for the France team against Germany this Friday. » But after the exhibition of these first elements, Bertrand Latour then targeted the Bleues.
“ There are other elements, which may be more open to debate and for which I may get hit, but that doesn’t matter. This team is not very friendly to me in general. It’s a team that doesn’t win, or has never won until now. We hope this will be corrected within a few days. This is a team that recently fired its last coach to choose someone else, in this case Hervé Renard. With all these elements, I do not see a big thread between these players and the French. »
