The French women’s team will show a new face in a friendly match against Colombia tonight. A new era opens with Hervé Renard.
The French women’s football team, fifth in the FIFA rankings, will begin a new page in its history tonight by playing in Clermont-Ferrand against Colombia. The selection went through a tumultuous period with internal problems. Corinne Deacon’s methods were decried by certain players such as Wendie Renard. Ousted, it was replaced a few days later by Hervé Renard. The coach has in the wake of his appointment called 26 players for tonight’s friendlies against the Colombians and against the Canadians on Tuesday.
For this introduction, the Savoyard has made his mark. “I feel like I’ve been here for years. It’s a good sign, I have a good feeling,” he said in a pre-match press conference. He strongly wishes to restore the image of the Blue ones which he wants “perfect”. Wendie Renard, who returned with the tricolor jersey, already seems won over by Hervé Renard’s application. “We already feel that what is settling in is different. Everyone is on board,” she told the press on Thursday April 6.
The friendly match between the French women’s team and Colombia will be played at the Gabriel-Montpied stadium at 9:10 p.m.
For the premiere of Hervé Renard on the bench of the France team, the match between Les Bleues and Colombia will be broadcast for free on television on the W9 channel.
Don’t worry, people who don’t have a television can easily follow the match between the French women’s team and Colombia thanks to the W9 streaming platforms.
Appointed at the head of the Bleues on March 30, Hervé Renard had barely a week to define his first starting lineup. The coach has already made strong choices by recalling the “rebellious”, Wendie Renard whom he immediately appointed captain of this France team. The Savoyard should line it up in a 4-man defense with 3 midfielders and 3 attackers.
