Blue, unheard of since the beginnings of Corinne Deacon

The France team remains on two straight games without having scored a single goal. A sad sequence that the Blues had not known since 2017.

The French women’s football team finally entered the competition this Sunday in the 2023 World Cup. Unfortunately for them, Hervé Renard’s daughters did not really succeed in their debut in the competition since they were not able to do better than a goalless draw against modest Jamaica (0-0). Nine days after the friendly defeat against Australia (1-0), Les Bleues failed to score.

It is therefore the second consecutive game without achievement for the players of Hervé Renard. And you have to go back a long way to witness such a sequence. The last time the France team spent two games without finding the flaw against the opponent was in November 2017. At that time, Corinne Deacon had just landed as coach. Two months earlier, the latter has indeed taken over from Olivier Echouafni. After having chained four successes in a row, his selection will remain silent twice.

Five and a half years later

Still in friendly, the Blue will first give in against Germany (4-0) before doing a little better three days later against Sweden (0-0). Two large cars which at the time did not allow the French to find the fault. Five and a half years later, it was against Australia and Jamaica that the French team remained without a solution. Now we have to score. His fate in the World Cup depends on it.
