Not coming into play in the last two matches of her team, Amandine Henry finally honored her debut with her new club of Los Angeles, during a meeting of the NWSL in Kansas City.
Three months after her signing at Angel City FC, Amandine Henry made her debut with the Californian team last Friday during a match in Kansas City, in the National Women’s Soccer League (the United States women’s championship). Recalled by Hervé Renard but forfeited for the Women’s World Cup with the France team, the French international, 33, quickly resumed on the side of Los Angeles, but remained on the bench three times.
Coach Becki Tweed had to justify her choice, explaining that she trusted her current holders for the time being. This time around, the LA side found the fault in the second half, with former Montpellier player Clarisse Le Bihan assisting, and Henry was thrown into the game in the 68th minute. Victory 1-0 against a KC Current where Claire Lavogez, French international and also ex-Lyonnaise evolves.
Henry will miss Les Bleues
” I’m very happy because we won. It was difficult, because Kansas City is a good team. The last minutes were very difficult. We can think of qualifying for the playoffs, step by step “, reacted Amandine Henry, while Angel City returns to two points of the top 6 qualifier for the playoffs, before its last 4 matches of the season.
In any case, the beginnings of Amandine Henry are encouraging. As much for his new adventure across the Atlantic as for his future in selection. Even if the seven-time winner of the Champions League should not be called by Hervé Renard for the next two matches of the Blues, against Portugal and Austria, on September 22 and 26, as part of the Women’s League of Nations. There is no scheduled international break in NWSL.
