Hervé Renard, coach of the France team after the 1-0 victory in Portugal: “It’s good, we avoided some mishaps. We were able to let a lot of girls breathe, with an unprecedented starting eleven. Those who played responded, even if technically everything was not perfect, with a little too much waste sometimes if we want to be critical.
But through self-sacrifice, respect for instructions, and determination, we deserve this victory. We hit the post, twice on the bar. The girls have a perfect run, it rewards the group as a whole. There will be four teams left (Spain, Netherlands, Germany), it’s a reward to be there. I will be in the draw (December 11), the staff will continue to supervise the matches. »
