No sooner had the French women’s team qualified for the quarter-finals of the 2023 World Cup on Tuesday than Hervé Renard warned his players.
Some promised them a very complicated match, the Blue made it easy. Opposed Tuesday in Morocco, on behalf of the round of 16 of the 2023 World Cup, the daughters of Hervé Renard did not leave the slightest chance to their opponents of the day. Victorious in style (4-0), Les Bleues quickly made the difference in the first period and then managed their advantage until the final whistle. Once the meeting was over, the tricolor coach nevertheless wanted to calm everyone down.
At the microphone of M6, Hervé Renard said he was obviously happy with the result, but he nevertheless forgot the path that still remained to be traveled for Les Bleues. ” The objective is fulfilled, yes, but we always want a little more. But it’s good. Now we have to plan for the quarter-final against the host country (Australia, editor’s note). We equaled the performance of four years ago. We know what we came here for. The priority objective is to do better than what the French team did in 2011.”
“It won’t be easy”
Eight years ago, Laura Georges and her partners had reached the last four of the World Cup. A result that motivates Hervé Renard and his players. ” We know what we have to do. We have the capabilities to do it. Afterwards, we know that this is a match that will not be easy. But not easy for both teams. “While waiting to think of a possible semi-final against England or Colombia, France will therefore have to go through Australia on August 12 (09:00). Not easy since, in addition to the support of their public, the locals also have the psychological advantage of having beaten Les Bleues in a friendly on July 14 (1-0).
