Xinhua News Agency, Paris, February 28th, the host of the 2019 Women’s World Cup France lost the German team at 0:1 in a friendship match in Laval on the 28th. Schuler scored the only goal for the visiting team.
After the French men’s football team won the World Cup trophy last year, the French women’s football team, coached by Diecker, also hopes to replicate this success. However, facing the German team, the winner of the two World Cup champions, the French team’s whole performance was difficult to satisfy the home audience and Diecker.
“Tonight we didn’t show what we needed to play international games, let alone the German team.” Diecker said, “the team made some responses in the second half, and we also need to remember good things, but many players are not in the state.”
In the 31st minute, Schuler received a pass from Hutt. A shot in the penalty area made the French goalkeeper buhadi helpless, and the ball wiped the column into the net nest. Before the end of the half-time, the French team had a chance to equalize the score. After the card disk was sent out, the heel passed the ball, but Tini, who was unattended, missed the ball.
In the second half, the French team continued to put pressure on the opponent’s defense line. Locating ball also had certain threats, but none of them could be converted into goals. Tini’s free kick was slightly higher than the beam, and card disk missed the goal.
France will play the opening match of the Women’s World Cup with South Korea at the Prince Park stadium in Paris on June 7, and then will play against Norway and Nigeria in Group A. The German team, the Chinese team, the Spanish team and the South African team were divided into Group B.
