France-Colombia, the pre-match
Wendie Renard and her teammates make their Olympic tournament debut this Thursday evening at 9 p.m. On the eve of the opening ceremony, Hervé Renard’s players face Colombia in Lyon at the Décines-Charpieu stadium.
“The only thing we want to experience are emotions, declared the French coach at a pre-match press conference. And for me, it’s not stress that comes to me, I always try to think of moments of joy that could happen if everything went well. And those are magical moments.”
For this match against a quarter-finalist of the last World Cup, Hervé Renard should develop his team in a 4-3-3 tactical system. He will probably rely on key players like Wendie Renard, Geyoro, Diani or Katoto.
France-Colombia, the probable line-ups
France : Peyraud-Magnin – Lakrar, Mbock, Renard (c), Karchaoui – Geyoro, Toletti, Dali – Cascarino, Katoto, Diani.
Colombia: Perez – C. Arias, Carabali, D. Arias, Vanegas – Izquierdo, Montoya (c) – Usme, Santos, Caicedo – Ramirez.
