She announced it a few weeks ago: “The French team is made up of the best French players, even if sometimes we don't always take the best to be able to find a balance at team level.

“Suddenly, when Corinne Deacon announced this Monday the list of 23 players who will participate in the Euro in England, from July 6 to 31, there were no surprises in not seeing the names of Amandine Henry and Eugénie Le Sommer, no longer selected for many months, despite high-level performances, especially for the first, still a scorer in the Champions League final.

No, Corinne Deacon, who unveiled her list at TF1's "13 Hours", surfed on the dynamics of Les Bleues and did not modify a group that gave her satisfaction.

Figurehead of the France team, Marie-Antoinette Katoto is there, despite a small alert, Sunday evening against OL, crowned champions of France.

“I have choices to make”

“Marie had pain in her adductors, but I think it's nothing serious.

We preferred not to take any risks given the deadlines, ”reacted assistant coach Bernard Mendy after the meeting.

"In order to try to win the first title", according to the coach, of the France team, Corinne Deacon summoned for the English meeting, despite their weak international experience, the midfielder of Bordeaux Ella Palis and the Paris FC striker Ouleymata Sarr.

“We have been working with this group for a while, we have found a balance between experience and youth, explained Corinne Deacon on TF1.

I know that for them [Le Sommer and Henry] the blue jersey is important, they have worn it many times.

But I have choices to make.
