Clairefontaine took a slight youthful look on Monday with the arrival of the French women’s team and its new coach, Hervé Renard. The ghost Amel Majri came with Maryam, her 9-month-old baby. This is a great first in the history of the place and of French football.
This is one of the first measures introduced by the former coach of Saudi Arabia, who wants France to evolve on these issues so that the players can live their gathering as calmly as possible, without cutting themselves off from their newborn. “It’s essential to give structure to players who have young children,” said Renard. She has a nine-month-old daughter, it is difficult for a mother to leave her very young child at home, even if it is her job. »
Follow the example of the United States
During his first press conference on Monday, Corinne Deacon’s successor hinted that France was “a little behind” on these issues and that the time had come to catch up.
“You have to manage to have an organized structure with a nanny. This will not harm the functioning of the group and psychologically it is of paramount importance. To be well in your head, efficient, it is important to combine the two. There is progress to be made in terms of this assistance, this organization, he explained. We will succeed in doing what the United States is doing. Maybe one day we will find ourselves with four, five toddlers with us, if it is well organized, that is not a problem”.
