The French lost in the quarter-finals of the World Cup against Australia this Saturday. A difficult end to digest.
The script, of course, is cruel. A goalless draw, and elimination on penalties after an incredible session. Thus fell the Blue against the Australians, Saturday morning, in the quarter-finals of the World Cup. Definitely hard to digest. ” I am disgusted. It’s difficult. It’s a feeling we don’t like to have “, said Eugénie Le Sommer, hot, thus relayed by L’Equipe.
” Inevitably we prefer to win, especially after extra time, after the shots on goal, continues the tricolor striker. I really felt that we were capable of winning tonight and I really believed in it until the end. And it’s even harder to lose when you believed in it so much. But it’s football, sometimes it’s cruel and tonight it’s cruel for us. (…) It’s always difficult after a defeat to immediately switch to the positive but despite everything you have to remember what you have built. »
Dali: “I am devastated”
In tears in front of the press, Grace Geyoro revealed herself to be inconsolable at the end of the meeting: “ It hurts very very badly. But it’s football, we gave it our all… We worked hard and that’s what hurts the most. “Same distress in the words of Kenza Dali, who missed his shot on goal like Selma Bacha, Eve Périsset and Vicki Becho:” I collapsed… Right now, I’m going to take the elimination for myself. So far, I can’t see the positive. They didn’t offer anything. We in the first period, we had a game plan, we respected it. We could have scored. Apart from the rescue on the line, I did not find that they put us in danger. Definitely cruel.
