The coach of the France team Corinne Deacon, after the draw against Iceland on Monday, at the microphone of TF1:
“We would have preferred to win tonight, we had the opportunities, but the VAR was not with us! »
The next game against the Netherlands
“We were watched, but we watched them too, don’t worry. The work has been done, we will analyze all of this starting tomorrow. »
The attack without Marie-Antoinette Katoto
“The opportunities, we had them. We lacked technical efficiency in the first half. I think the second was much better. The VAR was not with us tonight. »
Melvine Malard, striker for the France team:
“We miss Marie-Antoinette Katoto very much. I wanted to mark this evening, and make a dedication to Marie. She is there for us, we are there for her. The attackers, we have a big role to play, because Marie is really a great scorer and a great player. Me, I don’t hesitate to ask her for advice and ask the other players how she plays, to help the team. And then I also try to play my football. We do not expect a player to leave us during the competition. In addition, we did everything together, we did a lot of preparation, we expected to do the whole competition together, so obviously we are very disappointed, but we are also very motivated for her, and for the team. »
