Blues vs Canada: Player Ratings & Euro Warm-Up Analysis

The French women’s team won (3-2) against Brazil for their last friendly match before the Euro. Discover the tops and flops of the meeting.

TOPS

Peyraud-Magnin in wall mode

Yes, she conceded two goals, but the performance of the Blue Guardian was exceptional this Friday. While the French team did not see the light of day in the first period, she was able to keep her team in the game thanks to parades from another planet. Indeed, Peyraud-Magnin was on a cloud this Friday. Author of her first judgment in the 3rd minute, she then chained the exploits (5th, 12th, 16th, 20th, 24th …). Author of several taps as exceptional as each other, she kept her selection in the match when the Blue had their heads underwater. Factor X of her team, she managed to stay concentrated throughout the game to prevent Brazil from driving the nail (37th, 42, 62nd, 79th …). In particular, she saved a very last ball at the end of the game. In short the French team owes this victory to him.

Grace Geyoro rang the revolt

While the French team was completely apathetic in the first period, she was able to release the game and guide her teammates towards success. The only player to have a successful period with Peyraud-Magnin, she sounded the revolt by scoring the first goal of this French team (45th). Like a symbol, while she takes everyone in her wake, she is the one who doubles the bet of a headed strike outside the surface (55th). And its XXL performance did not stop on such a good path since it is also the construction of the last goal of the meeting inscribed by the head by Katoto, which allowed the Bleues to win (76th)

FLOPS

Clara Mateo Transparent

The best D1 Arkema D1 rider has not shown himself to her advantage this Friday in difficulty, in the first period, she could not keep the balloons and improve them as she does so usually. Normally capable of giving the rhythm she wishes to attack the Blue, she has completely missed her match. The attacker notably missed several checks (16th, 34th) before giving way to Katoto at halftime, who will be decisive in the second period. In short, a match to forget for Mateo before the start of the Euro.

Diani also in the hard

If she made some offensive differences (3rd, 14th, 24th) Diani also did not succeed in concluding her opportunities. If influential on the game of the Blues usually, she could not find the radiation which makes her a special player on which coach Laurent Bonadei can always count. Too little found between the lines, she also missed her performance. Often described as one of the X factors of her team, she was not up to expectations. If she did not make mistakes, she sometimes played the blows in a too personal way, which cost ball losses (19th, 26th). It then leaves its place in the 69th minute.
