The French women’s team resumes with two matches in the Women’s Nations League and Hervé Renard could well disrupt his plans by switching back to 4-3-3 with the return of Amandine Henry in the midfield.
One year before the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Hervé Renard intends to take a new step. There ” first mission » of the coach of the French women’s team, six months ago, was to breathe new impetus into the Bleues, and, after the 2023 World Cup and the cruel elimination on penalties in the quarter-finals against the Australia, on August 12, he now believes he has “ built serene and important foundations to go much further “.
Wendie Renard and her teammates are back in action with the first two matches of the brand new Women’s Nations League, against Portugal, Friday in Valenciennes, and against Austria, next Tuesday in Vienna. Corinne Diacre’s successor had switched to 4-4-2 during the preparation for the World Cup, he could well return to 4-3-3 with the return of Amandine Henry to the selection. The ex-Lyonnaise had withdrawn before the group’s departure to Oceania.
Diani back on the right?
To reintegrate Henry into the eleven, a tactical change is necessary, since Sandie Toletti and Grace Geyoro are essential. The first mentioned would thus occupy the role of number 6 in the 4-3-3, with Henry and Geyoro, two very skilled playmakers, in front of her. Enough to allow the Blues to dominate their next opponents. In any case, working on this device seems essential.
Higher up, Eugénie Le Sommer would find herself alone at the forefront, with Kadidiatou Diani and Selma Bacha on the wings. Diani was put back at the forefront at the World Cup, with four goals scored, but it was by hitting on her right side that she became the best French player in recent years. Hervé Renard cannot do without such striking force.
Les Bleues return to the Clairefontaine grounds 🌿💪
