Women’s Euro 2022 – Corinne Deacon on Katoto’s replacement: “I’m going to put Wendie in front” – Eurosport FR

From our special correspondent in Rotherham, Obviously, Corinne Deacon was in a playful mood. Not as much as the Icelandic players, loud music and a smile from ear to ear when training at New York Stadium on Sunday, but just as happy to drive the journalists present at her press conference crazy. Euro 2022 “I had never seen that in girls”: Bacha, the rising side12 HOURS AGO The questions multiplied, all turned in such a way as to make the coach confess a little something but with a simple goal: know who was going to replace Marie-Antoinette Katoto at the forefront of the tricolor attack for the last match of the Bleues in this group D (9 p.m.). “The real level of the Bleues is between Italy and Belgium” The post option for position with Sarr? “I made two changes in the second game so the eleven starters were not the same, she explained when discussing a typical team. I work with a group, I don’t I don’t necessarily have starters or substitutes. There are girls who start and girls who come into play. It’s a small difference, I’m not playing on words but I’ve already told you: all the players can start, that’s why we chose them with my staff”. On a raise intended for make him talk about Ouleymata Sarr or Melvine Malard, in balance for the post, she tried to play the humor card. “I’m going to put Wendie in front (laughs), she launched alongside her captain. There are plenty of options. You know me, I will continue to say nothing to you”. An Icelandic journalist tried her luck, without more success. Finally, without really admitting it, she did however deliver a small clue. Asked about the possibility of seeing Kadidiatou Diani used in this position, she reconsidered her logic when drawing up this list of 23, which has increased to 22. “I have real top attackers, she recalled. Kadi gives satisfaction on his right wing. When we had chosen the 23 players, we had doubled the positions. So it is logical that the player who was second attacker starts.Ouleymata Sarr in full overflow against BelgiumCredit: Getty Images We quickly passed to something else, at the request of Marie-Antoinette In her immutable 4-3-3, it is therefore Ouleymata Sarr who seems to be leaving with a small lead, despite his thigh alert on Saturday. Coming against Belgium (2-1), she had given of herself, with a lot of effort but a real deficit at the finish. Faced with Iceland, it is therefore a new chance that could present itself to it. Just to reassure everyone about the group’s ability to react to Katoto’s absence. “The girls are in their competition, they are focused, Deacon explained again. here since when we got back to base camp, we were a little less happy. We quickly moved on to something else, at the request of Marie-Antoinette. She asked us to continue to make the effort and above all to go to the end for that group. History, too, to have fun leading the journalists by boat.Euro 2022Deacon: “We knew that we would not score 5 goals for Belgium”15/07/2022 At 07:00Euro 2022L’antisèche: Qualif’, return on earth and… blue fear14/07/2022 At 21:54
