It’s the football buzz of the weekend, the image which has already gone around the planet via social networks. Saturday evening in Sosnowiec, Poland, the Bleuettes made headlines during the U20 Women’s World Cup.
Then opposed to their Ghanaian counterparts, the young French women won 4-0, thus validating their first place in the group and their qualification for the round of 16. A first direct elimination match that they will play against Canada next Thursday in Lodz.
An ingenious combination
Beyond the accomplished mission, Philippe Joly’s players can pride themselves on having delighted the public and observers by innovating on set pieces to score an unusual goal. With an improbable and innocuous round, the Bleuettes were able to create a formidable combination on a corner, with Justine Rouquet at the victorious conclusion.
