If the Blue have qualified for the knockout stages of the 2023 World Cup, a problem continues to worry some observers.
The goal has not yet been reached, but it is slowly but surely approaching. While Hervé Renard received the mission to take the French women’s team to at least the semi-finals of the 2023 World Cup, when he was appointed coach last March, his players and he are today qualified for the eighth. The march towards the initial objective will not be less complicated, especially since for some observers, the Blue ones still lack some precious ingredients to really reassure.
Channel consultant The Team, Charlotte Lorgeré also has doubts about the continuation of the adventure of the French women at the World Cup. She opened up on Friday. ” I still remain suspicious, in the sense that I’m still not convinced (…) about the identity of the game and the strengths of this team. There are some, but I don’t see them showing up enough on the pitch yet. I don’t see them winning (the world title) any more than before the competition.”
“Reserved and suspicious”
Before thinking of a distant and very hypothetical coronation of the daughters of Hervé Renard, Charlotte Lorgeré prefers to stick to the eighth that the French will play on August 8 against the Moroccans. ” My feeling is that I’m happy that they come in eighth and I’ll be even happier if they manage to beat the Moroccans. It’s going to be a very complicated match. But I always remain reserved and always suspicious.”
If it were to defeat Morocco, the France team would still have a long way to go in this World Cup, and especially in the next round with a potential opponent to be defined between Australia and Denmark. In the semi-finals, it could be England who will face her. As for the final, it will necessarily be a cador of world football. Caution is therefore still in order.
