“You have to go out with your head held high, and from the first seconds. Hervé Renard has a real gift when it comes to motivating his troops, and he showed it again on Saturday. The coach of the French women’s football team, who arrived in March to replace Corinne Deacon, gave a cult talk to his players before facing Brazil, a crucial match for the rest of the competition, reports Le Parisien. Les Bleues won two goals to one, thanks to goals from Eugénie Le Sommer and Wendie Renard.
“I can’t explain why, but I know you’re going to respond,” the coach begins in a video shared by the French Football Federation. “You also need to have high self-confidence. And, when you arrive at the stadium and you hear screams with a lot of Brazilians, as will be the case today, I don’t know what it does to you, but me, it transforms me. Even if the stadium is all yellow, it stimulates me. And we don’t lower our heads,” he continues.
