The lap of honor barely finished on the lawn of the MMArena in Le Mans, OL striker Delphine Cascarino was at a press conference.
His goal against Slovenia at the start of the second period gave Les Bleues their eighth victory in eight qualifying matches.
Les Bleues will therefore participate in the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in the summer of 2023.
We imagine you relieved after this goal and this qualification...
Delphine Cascarino
.
Of course, I'm happy with my performance and that of the team.
We aimed to qualify as quickly as possible (Editor's note: there are two days left in September).
It is now up to us to stay focused on the Euro objective.
Did you say to yourself this Tuesday that you had a lot to play for this Euro precisely?
No not at all.
We think about the present moment.
Did you have the impression of having raised the slider of the level of play as Wendie Renard had asked Monday?
Yes indeed we must raise our level of play with each match.
We know that Slovenia is not easy to play.
In the first half it was quite difficult.
We tried to score quickly in the second.
We were efficient.
But yes we have to raise our level of play to achieve our goals.
Was facing Slovenia a good rehearsal for the group stage of the Euro with Italy, Belgium and Iceland?
Yes, Slovenia is a good nation.
It prepared us for the deadlines to come.
At the Euro there are no small teams, no favourites.
You played on the left in Wales and on the right against Slovenia…
I'm a little more comfortable on the right side where I play in clubs.
But then it doesn't matter.
Are you stronger after this year of success?
We have worked a lot this season.
We put things in place.
We will continue to work to achieve our goals.
Did Corinne Deacon say a word about the Euro in the locker room?
No, she especially congratulated us on the performance in the two games we have just played.
