French women’s soccer team are moving towards the Euro (July 3 to 31), with a group that is faithful to Corinne Deacon’s principles. On Monday, a list was announced which left out Amandine Henry, Kheira Hamraoui, and instead chose Ouleymata Saar, the striker.
The coach made her 23 Bleues list at midday, as expected. She did not reserve any surprises for viewers of TF1 television news.
Fans of thriller series were able to revive the Henry hypothesis after a Champions League final against Barca (3-1). The Lyonnaise showed her power and talent.
The casting for the European Championship in England this summer does not include the defensive midfielder. This is a sensible decision considering the liability she has to Deacon. After public criticism, the ex-French captain was forced to withdraw from the team in winter 2020.
When I make decisions, I accept them until the end.

Wendie Renard will be wearing the armband in England this summer, where the French women hope to win their first international title.
The youth card, represented by Selma Bacha and Sandy Baltimore, and Melvine Malard, sidelines Eugenie La Sommer, who was the highest scorer in Les Bleues’ history (86 goals), and is often used as a substitute in Lyon.
Kheira Hamraoui (30) remains at the quay seven years after the violent attack of which she was the victim.
After a long absence, she was back in February, but she is absent from April camp. The defensive midfielder at Paris SG has been inactive for a month. She also suffers from poor relationships with her partners Kadidiatou diani and Marie-Antoinette Katoto who are two of the French stars.
It is Ella Palis, 23 years old, who will embark for the Euro without Henry or Hamraoui despite having limited international experience (6 caps) as well as a reduced time in Bordeaux. She will be the N.6 Charlotte Bilbault’s understudy, another Girondine.
Justine Lerond is the goalkeeper. She works behind Mylene Chavas and Pauline Peyraud–Magnin. Solene Durand was injured. Messina is in the second division, but she keeps the tricolor under 23 cage. She has also been through the Blue box.
Hawa Cissoko is selected as fourth axial in defense. She will be accompanied by Renard, Griedge Mcock, and Aissatou Tounkara. Sakina Karchaoui, Bacha and others are able to take Perle Morroni’s left side into danger in Lyon.
