Two weeks before the start of the Women’s World Cup, the France team is preparing to face Ireland this Thursday evening (9 p.m. on W9), its penultimate match in its preparation. Hervé Renard warned his players of the importance of not taking this meeting lightly.
On July 20, the ninth edition of the Women’s World Cup will begin, in Australia and New Zealand. In order to best prepare for this World Cup, Hervé Renard and his staff are very attentive to the preparation matches. The first will be this Thursday, July 6 at Tallaght Stadium in Dublin at 9 p.m. against Ireland. An affordable match on paper since the France team has won nine of its last ten meetings against the Girls in Green. However, the coach of Les Bleues wants to see a good face from his players against Ireland and makes it a point of honor to respect the opponent, regardless of their intrinsic level or their FIFA ranking, in order to avoid a bad surprise.

“When you don’t respect the opponent, football can sometimes be terrible. You think you don’t have to run, just enter the field, but that’s not enough. You must always fight and perform at your best to win. We will have to be serious, play our football, not be afraid of anything. We are competitors and we want to win. warned the former Saudi Arabia coach before this match in Dublin. After Ireland, France will fly to Australia to compete against the tenth nation in the world on July 12. A real test to acclimatize more easily to the climate and jet lag. Hervé Renard therefore sends very clear instructions to his players, a story that the hopes born in recent weeks do not fly away.
