Always unrest at the French, this time also drama around goalkeeper | Football

Players who criticized or played less have in the past been mercilessly dismissed by Diacre, the men’s head coach of Ligue 2 club Clermont Foot between 2014 and 2017. A few still refuse to come under the current trainer for France. The national association has so far always supported the national coach, but indicated that ‘better communication’ was needed.

This European Championship is missing star players Amadine Henry (32), the best on the pitch in the most recent Champions League final, and all-time top scorer Eugenie Le Sommer (33). It caused quite a stir in France. “It’s strange that they are not there, but every coach has his own vision. It is an advantage for us, to be honest,” said Orange midfielder Damaris Egurrola, who plays with both absentees at Olympique Lyon.

Then there is the sad situation regarding first goalkeeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin. Her ex-girlfriend was found dead in her home in early July. The two had only been separated for a few weeks. Peyraud-Magnin, who did not hesitate for a moment to cancel the European Championship, seems to be able to get rid of the sadness after a difficult start.
