Two weeks before their first game from Euro 2025 scheduled for July 5 against England (9 p.m.), the Blues are continuing their preparation. The girls of Laurent Bonadei were Friday evening on the side of Valenciennes to play a friendly match against Belgium. The opportunity for the attackers to shine, while the defense was still able to remain solid to offer the public a beautiful 5-0.
If Kelly Gago opened the brand (17th) and Sakina Karchaoui also found the fault (60th), it is especially the personal performance of Melvine Malard which is to be emphasized this evening. The tricolor attacker went there from his very first hat -trick in the French team (42nd, 78th and 85th). She was also the one who was a decisive passer on the third goal of the Blue.
The other great satisfaction is therefore this tricolor defense which managed not to collect a goal for a fifth consecutive match. To believe that the Wendie Renard page turned by Laurent Bonadei has not disturbed the last French line too much. The coach also said his satisfaction at the microphone of France 4 just after the match.
“I am satisfied, especially on the state of mind. (…) (Do not receive a goal) is important. It was close to my heart, especially for Constance (Picaud). »»
Blue will find Brazil
But Laurent Bonadei also explained that he was not fooled on the level of the evening opposition and on the deadlines waiting for his players, with a last friendly match against Brazil before spending the Euro. “We will gain power. A strong opposition since (Brazil) is fourth in the FIFA ranking, finalist of the last Olympic Games and this team which eliminated us in quarters. So a good way to gauge us in the preparation. »»
It is therefore in front of the Brazilians that the Blue will rub on June 27 on the side of the Stade des Alpes de Grenoble (9:10 p.m.). It will then be time to go to Euro 2025 with the objective of doing better than a quarter -final.
