Hervé Renard experienced his first setback on Friday as coach of the French women’s team.
Carried by a stretcher, in tears, Selma Bacha worries the staff of the Blue. We were playing the last minutes of Australia-France when the defender of Olympique Lyonnais injured her ankle (1-0, 90th + 5), a few days before the start of the World Cup.
A possible package for the 22-year-old left-hander would be a much tougher blow than the defeat conceded this Friday in front of some 50,000 people gathered in Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, after a goal scored by Mary Fowler (1-0, 66th).
Jamaica Goal
Coach Hervé Renard will try to minimize the defeat by telling himself that it was only a preparation match against one of the two host countries of the World Cup (Australia and New Zealand), at the occasion of the last meeting before the start of the competition.
The tricolor technician suffered the first setback of his early career with the Blues after three successes: Colombia (5-2), Canada (2-1), and therefore Ireland (3-0).
