Having partially missed their objectives during the 2023 World Cup, the players of the French football team know what they have to do at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Arriving in March 2023 to take over from Corinne Deacon sidelined by the French Football Federation, Hervé Renard did what he could to best prepare his team for the 2023 World Cup. A disappointing competition for the Blues who did no better than four years earlier, with an exit in the quarter-finals against Australia. A result which obviously did not satisfy the players who were aware of their failure. For Wendie Renard, we will have to do better next summer.
In a few months, the Paris 2024 Olympic Games will take place and this is the major objective set for Hervé Renard by the FFF. The body has clearly said and repeated that it expects at least one medal, and that it be of the most precious metal if possible. Particularly high expectations which put pressure on the players. Wendie Renard is also fully aware of this.
” It has to be done “
During an interview broadcast on Sunday on the show Téléfoot, the French captain spoke about these Olympics and the mission that she and her partners had. “ We will be at home, so obviously there will be a lot, a lot of waiting. We defend the colors of our country, so it’s beautiful. » As to whether the Blues can grab gold: “ We have no choice (laughs). No, we don’t have a choice. It has to be done. » A complicated objective, but one that Hervé Renard hopes to achieve, he who has already missed the first that the Federation had set for him (a place in the last four of the 2023 World Cup).
