In the Hérault, she will find Yannick Chandioux, coach who had directed her to Dijon where she had been loaned for a year by PSG (2020-2021), before he landed in Montpellier almost a year ago. He is a recruit of choice, since the young woman who will celebrate her 23rd birthday this Thursday has recently been wearing the colors of the France team, with four selections under the orders of Corinne Deacon : against Switzerland, first, during a friendly in February 2021, before coming into play against the United States, Germany then Greece, last September.
