“Our heart is bleeding, red and black, the colors of that shirt you wore so much.

This jersey that you wore so high on the pitch, in France and around the world, that you made several generations want to follow you.

She was an exemplary captain, the whole team followed her, even at the end of the world.

Like a pack leader, she knew how to lead her troops during the 80 minutes of combat, until victory.

Aïda you are and will forever be in our hearts but also a strength for all those who wear and will wear this jersey.
