For the first time since the revelations of the newspaper L'Équipe, at the end of January, Corinne Deacon appeared in front of the press this Wednesday morning, on the occasion of the list of the French team for the French tournament.
But the coach of Les Bleues was clear about her position from the start of the press conference.
“I am aware that we all have in mind the news of the FFF of which I am an employee, began Corinne Deacon even before the announcement of the list.
I will therefore stick today to answering questions concerning the competitions of the French team ”.
Still revived, the coach repeated the same words, with a smile.
“I told you, I would stick to sporting matters.
With my staff, we are focused on the French tournament, on the preparation for the World Cup.
We have enough things to think about, ”she concluded.
Before a second question about his state of mind at the heart of a burning context around the FFF.
This time, a great silence and a last speech from the press officer of the Bleues to refocus the questions on the athlete.
In mid-January, during an executive committee of the FFF, Aline Riera, treasurer of the body, spoke to denounce the inappropriate behavior of Noël Le Graët towards her and Corinne Deacon.
A speech relayed by the newspaper L'Équipe.
Since then, neither Aline Riera, nor Noël Le Graët and, therefore, nor Corinne Deacon have wished to develop the facts in public.
