News – FR – Football Friendly: Wendie Renard delivers the Blue against Switzerland

Wendie Renard scored the two goals of the French victory, this Tuesday in Metz, against Switzerland (2-0) The Lyon defender cleared the situation with two set pieces

When she had suggested that she would use the two friendlies against Switzerland to test different formulas, Corinne Deacon was not kidding The coach of the France team, who had opted for an original 3-4-3, Saturday during the first victory of her team (2-0), aligned this Tuesday a more classic 4-4-2, but no less unusual, with the Parisian Grace Geyoro, training relay, at the forefront Surprising

The results? France won again, by the same score (2-0), but in a very different match configuration If Wendie Renard had quickly unblocked the situation on Saturday, the defender of Lyon waited for the last quarter of an hour, this Tuesday in Metz, to give the victory to his, with a furious head butt upon receiving a free kick Eve Perisset (77th), then a penalty converted with confidence (90th)

If there had to be a goal, it could only be in a stopped phase, for a long time the Blues have come up against a low and disciplined Helvetian block The clear opportunities of Renard (15th, 58th, 68th) and Malard (57th) had come on this kind of situation, before the final issue

Lacking offensive inspiration and sometimes technical application, the Blues will remember this happy epilogue They took advantage of their double confrontation against Switzerland to stretch their beautiful series of invincibility (15 games without defeat, 8 games without conceding a goal), to offer playing time to many players as well.

Sandie Toletti, back during the rally, delivered a successful performance in the midfield, while Ella Palis and Léa Khelifi were able to celebrate their first selection in the blue tunic The second, trained in Metz, almost opened the scoring on his very first ball (65th) She finally left this pleasure to Wendie Renard
