The message could not be clearer.

According to

L'Equipe

, the goalkeeper of the France team Sarah Bouhaddi warned coach Corinne Deacon that she would no longer set foot in blue as long as she was in office.

This is not the first time that a central player of the France team has taken the beak with the former coach of Clermont.

In the past, Wendie Renard, Bouhaddi's teammate at Olympique Lyonnais, did not hide her relationship problems with Corinne Deacon.

“I'll be honest, this World Cup is a scar that still hasn't healed […] I need to breathe, I feel the need to take a break.

I don't know how long this will last, ”she explained in an interview on the Olympique-et-Lyonnais site.

Still according to our colleagues from

L'Equipe

, the mixed course of the Blue at the last World Cup in France (quarterback defeat against the United States) would not be the only reason that would have pushed Bouhaddi to take a break with the selection.

Indeed, it would not have really appreciated to see Deacon entrust the captain's armband to Marion Torrent during the French victory (6-0) against Serbia last November, considering himself from the top of his 149 selections. the best placed to take up the torch in the absence of Eugénie Le Sommer and Gaëtane Thiney.

Deacon weakened by this decision?

In early September, when announcing her list, the coach explained that she respected Sarah Bouhaddi's decision but that she did not accept it for all that.

It will be necessary since the Lyon goalkeeper seems sure of her choices, as shown by this SMS sent to Noël Le Graët to inform her of her choice.

And to put the pressure on him a little, even though Deacon no longer enjoys the same aura as before the World Cup.

“If she [Deacon] starts to worry about each other's moods and egos, she's not going to get away with it.

For those who follow Corinne's guideline, everything will be fine.

Those who do not want to, have only to leave the ship, ”launched the agent of the coach Jean-Pierre Bernès in

L'Equipe

.
