At Clairefontaine,

In these times of heat wave, everyone prefers to stay at home, sheltered from the high temperatures.

The French women's team, which is preparing the Euro in Clairefontaine, does not have "this chance".

But she was able to take advantage, on Saturday, of a session in the shade, under the trees of the forest of Rambouillet.

The end point of a hard week in terms of physical preparation, the second phase (out of four) which should bring Les Bleues in top form for their entry into the competition, on July 10, against Italy.

Present at a press conference this Monday alongside coach Corinne Deacon, physical trainer Anthony Grech-Angelini detailed his plan: a phase of regeneration and cohesion, another of volume with longer sessions, with days for two or three training sessions (which has therefore just ended), another phase of power and rhythm, before finishing the preparation in a lighter way, to arrive with maximum freshness.

Fairly good physical condition

Result of the races, at the end of this second phase: "The girls are so tired that there was not too much time together", indicated Corinne Deacon.

Who immediately went on to say that the group “lived very well.

There is no tension at all, even with fatigue.

They rested a lot, took care, took advantage of the facilities at Clairefontaine.

Very solicited by the few journalists present on the spot, so much so that Corinne Deacon, with a broad smile, let go that she was going to "leave him and go away", Anthony Grech-Angelini indicated that the physical state of the players was "pretty good", even if the medical check-up carried out on Monday was not yet fully known.

And if the workloads are high, the Blues benefit from days off, to “recharge physically and mentally”.

The objective: “To be physically ready on July 10 and for as long as possible, with at least six 90-minute matches.

What to get to the final, if you still know how to count.
