Amandine Henry, after France-Portugal (2-0) and her big return to the selection: “We have work to do, it’s the first match of the season, there are a lot of comebacks, we had to erase the disappointment of the World Cup. I think 2-0, we sign every day. It wasn’t the best of our matches, but it was a victory nonetheless. (On his return) I had been waiting for this moment for so long, I had played the film in my head many times before. It took a few minutes to realize that I was actually on the ground. I have to step up my game, it’s been a while since I played, now that I’m there, I want to stay there.
I had a lot of family at the stadium, it was nice. I have experience, the coach expects that from me. I left some Lyonnaises not that long ago (to reach Angel City, USA, in the spring), I know them by heart, for the benchmarks it will go very quickly. It’s up to me to work to stay on this team and be a leader. (The Olympic objective) You have to have the mental trigger, because you have the qualities. We perhaps have the best players in the world, we have to realize that we are capable of doing it. »
