And we are talking about the management of Corinne Deacon.

Sensitive subject since the last World Cup, after which the coach of the France team had attacked - among others - Eugenie Le Sommer, he has been back in the news in recent weeks.

First with the announcement of the guardian Sarah Bouhaddi to give up the Blue as a Deacon would be in place.

Then with the non-selection, this week, of Captain Amandine Henry.

"Not the image that the France team should have"

"I called her to tell her that I was not taking her to this internship to give her time to return to her best level after her injury," Deacon explained at a press conference.

The announcement did not please him obviously.

"She was very surprised and shocked by this decision," said her OL club in the wake.

The unease is real.

Friday night, after Lyon's easy victory against Guingamp (where Henry opened the scoring), Wendie Renard, ex-captain of the Bleues and called up for selection, expressed it clearly.

“We have to bring back a little more serenity.

The atmosphere is not good.

The image that we emit is not the one that the France team should have, said Renard at the microphone of Canal +.

You have to bring back a more serene atmosphere and above all a positive energy to be able to be completely on the ground.

It is important to be calm and have the confidence to express yourself.

"

In other words, the atmosphere continues to deteriorate within the Blue, to the point of becoming really heavy.

“This week we met President Noël Le Graët, we had an exchange on our vision of the France team.

We asked him for his.

The exchange did not take very long but it was important to be able to move forward, and especially to move forward together, added the defender.

It's like in a company, when you know that you have disagreements with the boss, you are not at ease.

We must restore serenity, that everyone is clear.

We can't go on like this, we're hurting each other.

"

A little later, Amel Majri, who is also coming back from injury and who was called up for selection, added a little extra.

“It's not understandable.

Amandine remains the captain of the France team, and bad performances, we all do.

It is not consistent, ”she said.

The atmosphere promises to be electric during the rally which begins in a few days.

Les Bleues must play two qualifying matches for Euro 2022 against North Macedonia on October 23 and Austria on October 27. Corinne Deacon's contract runs until this competition.

One way or another, Noël Le Graët, who has always supported his coach, will have to whistle the end of recess.
