  • OL are preparing for one of their main meetings of the season, Friday (9 p.m.) in Paris, under very specific conditions.

  • Captain with the Blue and cold with Corinne Deacon, the Lyonnaise Amandine Henry has indeed emptied her bag in an interview broadcast on Sunday by Canal +, while the next list of the coach will be given Thursday (11:30).

  • Wendie Renard and Jean-Luc Vasseur are nevertheless categorical on Wednesday: "the most important thing is this match against PSG".

At the OL training center,

The OL communication service had insisted on the journalists.

The questions of the press conference of the women's team, this Wednesday, were to concern the shock of D1, Friday (9 p.m.) in Paris.

This rule crumbled after ten minutes against Wendie Renard and Jean-Luc Vasseur.

Because the essential question of the Lyon week, three days after the interview with Amandine Henry emptying her bag on the management of Corinne Deacon, is whether the group is not disturbed by the many tensions around the Blue.

Corinne Deacon has she just suffered the blow too much?

“No, not at all, because they're two different things,” says Wendie Renard.

We are at a club and we know what we should focus on, we have an important match on Friday in Paris.

"Relaunched on the subject of the list of the France team for the match against Austria (November 27), unveiled Thursday by Corinne Deacon, the Lyon captain has also made the shortest:" The coach will make her choices as she always has, there is no problem ”.

If ever her partner Amandine Henry is not part of it once again, it is hard to believe her.

"It's no use talking in fact"

The emblematic defender of OL, also clearly at odds with Corinne Deacon, in any case did not want to talk about the situation of the Blue on Wednesday: "We have already spoken, and here, the most important thing is this Paris match is our goal.

It is useless to speak in fact ”.

Apparently, Jean-Luc Vasseur is no more bothered than that by this list timing, the day before one of the already crucial meetings of the season.

"The girls will necessarily look at the list, the France team is always a source of pride for them," explains the Lyon coach.

But afterwards, they will dive right back into this PSG match.

I'm dealing with great professionals and they know that the priority today is the match against Paris.

"Likewise, he is not worried about the strong pressure which will surround this summit, in view of the heavy context surrounding women's football in France:" They are champions because they always manage to find this balance in the preparation of such a match, to get out of the pressure as much as possible ”.

With a smile, Jean-Luc Vasseur concludes: "Amandine is very very good, she is in great shape".

Will this still be the case on Thursday at 11:32 am?
