Tensions are still high between Corinne Deacon and the OL players.

Before the last meeting, for which the coach of the Blue had not retained Amandine Henry, several players had spoken to emphasize the palpable discomfort internally.

"The atmosphere is not good," summed up former captain Wendie Renard.

Thursday, goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi, who put her international career on hiatus because she can no longer support the management of Deacon, gave a layer by believing that "winning a title with this coach" seemed "impossible".

In reaction, OL president Jean-Michel Aulas called for "a summit meeting of the whole team, the coach and the president of the FFF, Noël Le Graët, to get off to a good start".

The president of the Federation responded in an interview with Le Parisien, published Friday evening.

“I have already made this appeal for calm.

Yes, I will call Corinne, the players and the presidents concerned, assured Le Graët.

I know Corinne well.

To say that the Lyonnaises are not the best would be a mistake.

However, she never said that.

There were certainly some bad-tempered reactions, but all that is not dramatic.

I hear that the climate is heavy but it's because we want it to be ... We will discuss all this quietly.

"

Time is running out for Les Bleues, in the midst of the Euro 2022 qualifying campaign. Hanging in Austria this week (0-0), they must imperatively beat this same team on November 27 in Guingamp to ensure their qualification.

“In the next two games, including the decisive one for Austria, we will have to have the best possible team.

The tests are over.

We will have plenty of time to do it afterwards because the Euro is in 2022. There will be the Tournoi de France and we will need big friendlies and adversity, because I am not always impressed when I see them. see winning 7 or 8-0 ”, warned the boss of the 3F.
