In an interview with the team, Jean-Michel Aulas, president of OL, spoke of the tense situation of the French women’s team.
Corinne Deacon does not have a lot of support. After the announcement of Wendie Renard – followed by her teammates Kadidiatou Diani and Marie-Antoinette Katoto, to withdraw from the national team, many people (Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, Sonia Bompastor, Emmanuel Petit…) welcomed the decision of the former captain of the Blue. Jean-Michel Aulas, president of OL and connoisseur of women’s football, spoke about this in an interview with the team.
“It’s a subject that I know a little about … Corinne Deacon has been there for six years, there have been ups and downs. Noel knows this very well. Tomorrow (Tuesday) at the comex, he will tell us his feelings. Personally, I have the impression that we have moved forward in a situation of no return. When we see the management of this French team, we see that it is not at all comparable to other major European teams. I know that we have the best players in Europe, perhaps in the world, and we can’t get results. As deadlines arrive with the World Cup and the Olympic Games in Paris, two fantastic events that cannot be missed, the executive committee must look carefully at the situation and make decisions. This seems obligatory to me if we want to respect the messages sent. said Jean-Michel Aulas.
“It is a decision of the comex. But that seems to me objectively difficult to fight against. Philippe has done a lot of thinking and surveying all the people who are interested in women’s football to get an opinion. He will give us his opinion tomorrow. But that seems difficult to me. The message delivered by the best French players, who are among the best in the world, the Federation cannot sit on it. This is my feeling and my opinionconcluded the OL president.
