The French women’s team suffered a major setback last Sunday when they lost on home soil to Canada in the 2e
Olympics day (1-2). An unfortunate setback that the Tricolores will have to erase this Wednesday against New Zealand.
At the Groupama Stadium in Lyon, the Bleues have the advantage of being able to settle for a draw to move on to the next round. The sanction inflicted on Canada (-6 penalty points) has given them a considerable advantage. It is up to them not to squander this unexpected offering.
Renard expects more from his Blues
On paper, the French are largely superior to the New Zealanders. But beware, distrust remains the order of the day. Especially since they will not be able to count on their captain Wendie Renard. Injured during the last match, the Lyonnaise will miss at least this match.
Hervé Renard, who still believes in Olympic gold, did not fail to pull his flock up on their toes. Now, he hopes that his reminder will have an effect and that his players will finally play a full match during his Olympic Games.
Probable lineups for New Zealand – France
New Zealand: Leat; Stott, Barry, Bott; Kitching, Steinmetz, Jale, Taylor; Riley, Clegg.
France: Peyraud-Magnin; Lakrar, Mbock, De Almeida, Karchaoui; Geyoro, Toletti, Dali; Katoto, Cascarino, Diani.
