The team was full of confidence ahead of the big start. France was confident on the accounting side of things, offering a huge victory against Vietnam (7-0), Friday at Orleans for its last friendly match before Euro (July 3rd 6-31). The record looks perfect after the victory against Cameroon (4-0). What’s the point in learning after a string against such opposition?
There was no match. It was as if they were not on the same court. The French seemed to have everything under their control. Their talent was not forced upon them. This can lead to a feeling of inevitability that could prove counterproductive. It raises questions about the utility of programming such a match by Federation.
Corinne Deacon, her players, and their team know that not all is lost. Kadidiatou diani, the attack player, was back in the eleven. His percussion skills were a big help. The Cameroon winger, Kadidiatou Diani, made some differences during each of his percussions. She was able to score two goals and assist during an even-sided first period. Delphine Cascarino, on the other hand, also proved her worth. Marie-Antoinette Katoto was the expected winner at the summit. The goleador scored his first goal during the preparation, after his three-season extension at PSG.
Clara Mateo is the star of the midfield. With her slaughtering and her techniques, the middle of Paris FC gets thicker. It is hard to draw any conclusions about the defense from this match, other than that it must have been very long for Pauline Peyraud Magnin. Given the limited number of balls touched, the Juventus goalkeeper couldn’t repeat her ranges. It will be used quickly for the Euro. It is clear that Vietnam’s opposition will not be able to compete with Italy in the race for entry on Sunday, July 10.
