The hemorrhage continues within the French women’s team. It’s Lyon defender Perle Morroni’s turn to follow in Wendie Renard’s footsteps and denounce the selection’s “management system” by putting her international career on hold. She is the fourth Blue to make this decision.
“I in turn wish to express myself in relation to the situation and join them against the management system of the current France team for having suffered from it personally”, wrote the 25-year-old player, who has 11 selections. On Friday, captain Wendie Renard and forwards Kadidiatou Diani and Marie-Antoinette Katoto stepped back, calling for changes.
“If I ever wear the France team jersey again, I hope it will be in better conditions and with adequate values ??at the top level,” Morroni adds on Instagram.
A few hours later, Griedge Mbock, a usual Les Bleues executive but seriously injured since September, denounced “the gap that remains between the current organization, the expectations we have and the means we are given to fight as much as possible. high level “.
The full-back has not been called up since April 2022 by coach Corinne Deacon. In recent days, she has not been called up for the February rally, despite the absence due to injury of the two incumbents in her position, Sakina Karchaoui and Selma Bacha. Deacon preferred to summon Estelle Cascarino, central defender.
Support for Renard, Diani and Katoto have multiplied in recent hours, nationally and internationally on social networks. The former Blue goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi, who had denounced the methods of Corinne Deacon in recent years by announcing a break with the selection from 2020, wished to “salute the courage” of her teammates.
Ada Hegerberg and Megan Rapinoe, the first two winners of the Women’s Golden Ball, also supported the three Habs. “With you captain. @FFF what are you doing? “wrote the American on Twitter. The Norwegian, Renard’s partner in Lyon, wondered “how long [players should] go through these moments to [be] respected”.
