Gaëtane Thiney, history of the Blue with his 163 selections, was not selected by Corinne Diacre this Wednesday to compete in the Tournoi de France, from March 4 to 10. Are these his critics? His disappointing level of play? Only the coach of the France team really knows, but the result is the same.
The boss of the Blue had said in November to the captain of Paris FC, 34, that she might not summon her in the future. She took action. "Only the weekend competitions guide me in these choices, and I found that after the World Cup her performances were below what she had been able to show us before," said Deacon before the press, this Wednesday.
"I am stubborn, but I am not closed and obtuse"
Thiney had risen to the fore in an interview with AFP in mid-February, in which she had invited Diacre to "modernize" her management and to "draw inspiration" from Didier Deschamps, a technician who "protects his players, loves them, federates them ”. The coach assured that the critics were "part of (her) function" and could have allowed her to evolve.
"I'm stubborn, but I'm not closed and obtuse," she said. I have a real desire to move forward, to improve myself. I hear what is said. Afterwards, we can't please everyone ”. For this first rally of the year, a month before the resumption of qualifications at the Euro, Deacon records the returns of his captain Amandine Henry and his striker Kadidiatou Diani, forced to forfeit in November.
Here is the complete list:
Guardians: Sarah Bouhaddi, Solène Durand, Pauline Peyraud-Magnin
Defenders: Estelle Cascarino, Sakina Karchaoui, Griedge Mbock Bathy, Perle Morroni, Eve Périsset, Wendie Renard, Marion Torrent, Aïssatou Tounkara.

Forwards: Delphine Cascarino, Kadidiatou Diani, Valérie Gauvin, Marie-Antoinette Katoto, Eugénie Le Sommer, Ouleymata Sarr.
