For his first major competition at the head of the French women’s team, Hervé Renard hopes to defy all predictions by bringing his players to the roof of the world.
In a few weeks, Les Bleues will try to put their names on the World Cup list like the men, who achieved this feat twice in 1998 and twenty more years in 2018. But for that, the women will have to by Hervé Renard achieve a real feat knowing that France has never done better than the quarter-finals of the World Cup, it was at home in 2019. Faced with the big favorites that will be the Americans, the French will have their say , despite the major withdrawals from Antoinette Katoto or Delphine Cascarino. In any case, coach Hervé Renard firmly believes in it. Since for his first World Cup at the head of the Blue, the former coach of Saudi Arabia wants to be ambitious.

“Ten years ago, France was ahead of everyone in women’s football. But little by little, the big nations like the USA, Canada, Sweden, England or Germany have moved ahead. But I don’t think the difference is huge today. The mental aspect will be of paramount importance. We have to take our responsibilities, me and the players. Because there is a way to do something good. The gap is not that big with the other favorite countries. We are able to accomplish a lot with extraordinary determination and a perfect collective state of mind. I’m sure we’ll have those ingredients. So don’t bury us too quickly anyway! », launched, on RMC, the coach of the Blues, who therefore dreams of writing the history of French football by bringing back from Australia the first international trophy of the Blues. But before thinking about that, we will already have to get rid of Jamaica (July 23), Brazil (July 29) and Panama (August 2) in Group F.
