Hervé Renard (coach of the French team after the success against Austria): “We weren’t satisfied, when we lead 1-0 at half-time, it’s good to increase the intensity . We could see that this Austrian team had the principles to search for depth quite quickly. We had to be closer, have more determination. In our ball handling, turning more forward, that’s what the team did well in the second half. When you get to grips with the game more quickly, it becomes easier.
“You always have to put a little pressure on, I have the impression of being with the Saudis (laughs). They knew it when they returned to the locker room”
We scored too early, we had the opportunity to make the break just at the end of the first period. You always have to put a little pressure on, I have the impression of being with the Saudis (laughs). They knew it, when they returned to the locker room, Wendie spoke, they knew it wasn’t enough. We showed realism, something we failed to do against Norway (0-0). 13 points out of 15 is good. There is one match left (Tuesday in Portugal). Qualification for the final 4 is assured, congratulations to them, they worked hard even if we have to do better in the first period.
(About Le Sommer, Henry, Katoto, scorers). These are girls who are coming back little by little. We can mention the great match of Griedge Mbock. We missed them. They bring this added maturity, they have enormous experience but sacrifice themselves for the team. That’s great. »
