Definitely irreconcilable.
At the end of July, Sarah Bouhaddi, the goalkeeper of the France team, announced that she wanted to take a break in selection.
At the time, the Lyonnaise did not wish to elaborate on the reasons pushing her to make this choice, contenting herself to highlight "the painful sporting failure" that she said was the 2019 World Cup organized in the Hexagon, which had ended in the quarterfinals for the Blue.
While specifying then: "I hope that Corinne Deacon will hear that I need to take this break, that it will do me good."
The enmity between the two women was due to the secrecy of Open, but Bouhaddi did not wish to add fuel to the fire.
A detention which left her visibly given the tenor of her words in an interview with her club's media, OL TV ...

Bouhaddi thus put back on the front of the stage the at least complicated relationship that Corinne Deacon maintains with the Lyon players, Wendie Renard in the lead but also Eugenie Le Sommer and Amandine Henry.
“With four of my teammates, we went to Angoulême for the launch of the film on women's OL (Les joueuses # paslàpourdanser directed by Stéphanie Gillard).
Corinne Deacon was also invited.
By the time she arrived, she did not greet or congratulate us (for the Champions League won two days before).
However, there were three players from the France team.
They might not have been players he liked, but they were still internationals.
It's sad, but with that person, we are in a daily struggle. ”

And the Lyon goalkeeper to add a layer: “The post World Cup was very difficult with her.
I lived very badly the internships.
After that, when I see the matches on TV, of course that makes me want to, but I don't regret because winning a title with this coach seems impossible to me.
These are strong words, but we live in a very negative climate.
Lots of players think so too but don't say it.
I could put my two hands to cut that the France team will not win the Euro (in 2022) if Corinne Deacon remains in office. "
A sufficient position to change the opinion of Noël Le Graët, the president of the Federation who had decided to keep the coach at the end of the 2019 World Cup, even though internal dissensions had exploded into broad daylight?
Not sure.
But after Gaëtane Thiney who had already strongly criticized Deacon, Bouhaddi increased the note.
