It is perhaps because she has always been a big fan of Ronaldinho that Kenza Dali, the former player of PSG (2011-2016), tried – and especially succeeded – an incredible lob in the 30th minute of this France – Germany friendly, this Thursday evening, at the Meinau stadium. It may also be because the West Ham midfielder knew she was going to leave the lawn due to an elbow in the ribs, that she allowed herself to attempt this gesture, inspired , thirty meters, after having slowly shifted to the right side. Like Marquinhos on the lawn of Bayern Munich in the Champions League, Dali left his partners just after celebrating his goal. “It may be a cracked rib …” sighed the goalscorer at the microphone of W9.
These created scoring opportunities in the wake with in particular a duel lost by the Parisian Grace Geyoro (37th) then many other hot situations (39, 49th, 53rd, 62nd) without materializing. “We knew how to score and win, that’s the main thing,” adds Dali.
This inefficiency will remain inconsequential in particular because of the German clumsiness in the finish. In a stadium in La Meinau where 5,000 spectators had been authorized at the last minute, the Bleues of Corinne Deacon ended well a season marked by many tensions. Deprived of their star attackers, the Parisian champions of France Marie-Antoinette Katoto and especially Kadidiatou Diani, the best player of the season, or of Delphine Cascarino, the Blues provided the essential, despite the ambient heat and the fatigue of this end of the season.
“We could have taken one but despite everything in the difficulty we were able to hold, says Deacon on W9. We must take shelter faster. We had a serious match, in difficult conditions. I’m proud of them because they did the job. Beating Germany is not trivial. “
Next meeting: the qualifications for the 2023 World Cup, on September 17 in Greece and September 21 in Slovenia.
