Let's not shy away from our pleasure.
Yes, it's just the Nations League, the first edition of the name for women.
No, it's not a World Cup final or an Olympic medal.
But a continental title is at stake this Wednesday, February 28 (7 p.m., W9) on the lawn of the Olympic stadium in Seville and it would be the first in history for the Blues.
All against “the best team in the world”, Spain and its Golden Balls Alexia Putellas or Aitana Bonmatí.
“The one who wins will be European champion,” even dares Eugénie Le Sommer, 189 caps and 93 goals on the clock, in search of a trophy with the French team since her debut in 2009.
“Pleasure” is one of the coach’s key words.
“The first thing is that you have to be happy to be there,” says Hervé Renard.
You have to savor and know that you never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
» Like the morning jog of the fiftieth anniversary, in full preparation for a marathon, and its staff along the canals of the Guadalquivir which surround the stadium and the island of Cartuja, site of the 1992 universal exhibition: “It's was a superb outing, it allows you to feel good in your head, your body and to prepare as best as possible for this final.
But the girls are much
fitter
than us,” smiles the coach.
