The elimination of the French team in the quarterfinals of Euro 2025 women, Saturday evening against a Germany reduced to ten from the 13the Minute (1-1, 5-6 tab), does not pass for Pierre Ménès. After the meeting, the journalist destroyed the Blue. “Two and a half hours of my life for a rotten elimination like that … But hey, I want to say that it is as usual with the French women's team”he lets go in his debrief on YouTube.
“As soon as the quarter -finals arrive, it gets stuck. And it always gets stuck with the same thing, it is the offensive indigencehe continues. The coach (Laurent Bonadei) used six attackers, there was not one who made a good match. So obviously, from there, it's complicated to score goals. The French team played 107 minutes in numerical superiority but it has never managed to score. It is too little offensive eleven against ten. »»
“Katoto, it feels like she is 100 kilos”
For him, the level displayed by the Habs was
“Very, very, very weak on the technical level”. And Pierre Ménès to review all the French players who disappointed him. “Selma Bacha did not put a center of the match; (Sandy) Baltimore who entered but did not spend once; (Marie-Antoinette) Katoto, it feels like she is 100 kilos; (Kadidiatou) Diani was ghostly. The offensive assessment of the Blue was catastrophic ”, he judges.
“When you play 107 minutes in numerical superiority, it is not possible not to create more frank opportunities, sighs the former CANAL+consultant. The results are very bad, the disappointment is very strong and it will relaunch the debate on the quality of women's football. And there, I admit that I am a little short of arguments to find positive things to say. (…) French women's football will return to its anonymity until the next final phase. »»
