Le Sommer and Renard precious, Picaud at fault … The notes of the players of the France team against Canada

Second victory in two games for Hervé Renard at the head of the France team. Its players won a prestigious success against Canada (2-1), Tuesday, April 11, during a friendly match played at Le Mans, four days after the spectacular victory against Colombia (5-2). During a fairly closed evening, the Blues managed to never drink the cup despite the experiments launched by the new coach. The old ones like Wendie Renard or Eugénie Le Sommer pulled the team up, in the same way as Grace Geyoro, scorer once again.

Constance Picaud: 3/10

After 70 minutes under control, the PSG goalkeeper completely missed herself when the France team had just embarked on a royal road. His embarrassing exit (the ball passing him under the flank) offered the reduction of the score to Huitema and especially caused the awakening of the Canadians.

Elisa DeAlmeida: 6/10

Desire, impact and above all the best after its mixed copy against Colombia. His defensive intervention may be at the origin of the reduction of the Canadian score, but it is not responsible for it.

Estelle Cascarino: 6/10

Placed in the axis of the defense, she first gave the impression of having trouble finding her bearings, missing an intervention in front of Huitema in the first period (31st). But, she then managed to use her burst of speed to do a lot of covering work and sometimes to intervene before her opponents. His association with Wendie Renard is complementary and deserves to be reviewed.

Wendie Fox: 7/10

The boss did the work when her team was not yet on the right track. His two saving interventions in front of unmarked players (10th, 40th) showed his great concentration. She almost went there with her goal on a free kick cut from the foot at the near post, but the Canadian goalkeeper was present (62nd).

Sakina Karchaoui: 5/10

A performance without error or notable flash of genius, but with concentration and the desire to participate in the construction of the game.

Sandie Toletti: 5/10

Like Charlotte Bilbault before her in this role of n°6, the Real Madrid midfielder gave a relatively clean and discreet performance, assuming her role as a metronome without going beyond her duties.

Grace Geyoro: 7/10

Valuable in her ability to direct the game and bring the excess into the area, the Parisian was rewarded as soon as she returned from the locker room, opening the score with a header from a cross from Cascarino (51st). The one who had already scored against Uruguay. Replaced by Kenza Dali (85th).

Oriane Jean-Francois: 4/10

The young PSG player who impressed Hervé Renard delivered a fairly shy performance with a few badly measured passes. Replaced by Léa Le Garrec (56th)who took very little time to enter his match, scoring with a clever lob in the 64th minute for his return after six years of absence in selection.

Delphine Cascarino: 6/10

As so often, she is the main threat. Athletically above her opponents, the winger did some damage but lacked efficiency in front of goal (and sometimes a little more lucidity in the last gesture, even if she finished with an assist).

Eugenie Le Sommer: 7/10

Voluntary, the OL player touched the bar (49th) and did not go far from obtaining a penalty (48th). It was she who set the tone on the return from the locker room, just before Les Bleues took the lead, despite the frustration of a first period spent fighting almost alone. It is also she who causes the error of recovery of the opposing goalkeeper on the 2nd goal. Replaced by Laurina Fazer (76th).

Clara Mateo: 4/10

While she had the opportunity to score points, she mainly paid for the contrast with Delphine Cascarino, much more active on the other wing. Replaced by Selma Bacha (56th).
