The fire has continued internally at Les Bleues since the wave of shocking boycott announcements, launched by captain and central defender Wendie Renard, later followed by her teammates Marie-Antoinette Katoto, Perle Morroni, Sarah Bouhaddi, Griedge Mbock and Kadidiatou Diani. The latter returns to the program “Téléfoot” on TF1 this Sunday morning on this strike which affects the French women’s team, less than five months before the start of the World Cup in Sydney, where France will challenge Jamaica in the first match of its tournament. Anthony Grech-Angelini (physical trainer) and Gilles Fouache (guardian coach) have also let go of the current coach of Les Bleues.

“I feel pretty good. Our captain Wendie Renard decided to speak, it’s very brave of her and I think it was very important as a manager to support her, especially since I share the same point of view as her. I know she tried to fix the situation, to have a discussion with the coach, but unfortunately that didn’t work. So it seems complicated to me to move towards the same objective when we have in front of us a person who is quite closed, who does not want to discuss with his captain and if we want to advance in the World Cup, we must have good communication between us and today it is not the case”first explained the PSG player.

Chilling behind-the-scenes revelations

In this interview, Kadidiatou Diani detailed at length the ordeal experienced by the internationals of the French team with conditions that are far from optimal for achieving good performances: “I find that we really lack professionalism in the French team. Today we find ourselves with a fairly small staff. It is the coach who decides on her staff. We don’t have an assistant coach, we don’t have attacking coaches. I would really like to work in front of goal sometimes. In its early days, access to care was almost forbidden. I’m sorry, I say it with these terms but it’s real. You had to be injured to be entitled to a massage or a normal treatment session like in a club. This is what challenged us”she said, recalling the beginnings “cheerful” under the leadership of Philippe Bergerôo.

If the 27-year-old player admitted that it was difficult to give up a World Cup as a player, she refuses to come without the assurance of having “the keys and the elements” to go far in a competition, aiming for the trophy or a medal. Diani calls the FFF “to make arrangements” : “We raised a cry of alarm, we expressed our feelings and I think they will study our case and take it all seriously to try to move our team forward. I think it’s important to have something new since the girls can’t take it anymore, they don’t necessarily express themselves, but that’s really the case, that’s what really happens in EDF. I think we have reached a point of no return. If it is necessary to speak of rupture, then I would speak of rupture”.

Speaking of renewal, rumors are rife internally since Corinne Deacon should resign next Thursday, March 9, after the commission responsible for deciding on her will give its conclusions. According to the latest information, Gérard Prêcheur, current coach of PSG, would also be in pole position and could take over until the World Cup. Other names have circulated in recent days such as Sonia Bompastor, current coach of Olympique Lyonnais but also those of Patrice Lair, Sandrine Soubeyrand, coach of Paris FC and most capped player of Les Bleues (198 selections) and Eric Blahic, the former assistant coach of the coach of the Blue.
