Large competitions follow each other and look alike for the French team female. To their advantage during the group phase, notably with an opening victory against England, the future winner of the event, the Blues finally failed in the quarterfinals.
And the disillusionment was all the greater for the French team than opposed to Germany, the daughters of Laurent Bonadeï bowed on penalties after having opened the scoring from the quarter of an hour of play and evolved most of the meeting in numerical superiority.
The bet tempted by the tricolor coach therefore failed. The former assistant of Hervé Renard had indeed decided to rule out Wendie Renard and Eugénie Le Sommer. A difficult to live away for the 36 -year -old attacker, who went to Mexico this summer when she is happy with Toluca.
“It was very hard to take. It was very difficult at the moment. I had misunderstanding, disappointment. Yes, it was hard. We often forget the human side in these moments. And we don't say to ourselves how a player, she will feel after that. Especially how it was done “she said in the columns of The team.
Eugenie the Sommer does not understand
“I felt very betrayed, she continued.
The choices, we do not discuss them. I have never discussed them, by the way. I felt betrayed because I had given my confidence. I didn't think it was going to happen like that. I didn't expect it. I considered that at 36 years old, with everything I had experienced before, that we could have had a more honest and more transparent relationship. »»
And Laurent Bonadeï's decision was all the more difficult to collect for Eugénie le Sommer that she counted among the “Group of leaders” set up by the new coach.
“I tell myself why, in fact?” We worked a lot with Wendie, we went to negotiate the premiums for the Euro. We say that it's weird and that's why I'm in misunderstanding ”, she said.
Breton returned to the conditions for this sidelining. “It was a 3-minute phone call,” she explained. The reason was that he was preparing the 2027 World Cup. These are the explanations I had. Afterwards, I don't know if it's true, if it's not true. At the time, I was so shocked. It was very short. I didn't even think we could tell me like that on the phone. It's part of the story now. »»
