Jean-Aimé Toupane (Les Bleues coach following their draw): “We are happy to have a much clearer idea of our opponents. It won’t be easy. The particularity of our group is to face athletic teams like Canada and Australia. We are relieved to have a draw which should allow us to qualify for the second round but each match will be a final. We worked blindly on the preparation, some teams refused to face us, but we will face teams of the best possible level to be ready to play once morest the best. I don’t know if there is any serenity. The twelve teams are very strong. We shouldn’t think that we are in a weaker group, there are teams who have beaten us in the past. There is no excitement. It has been there from the start, since we knew we were organizing the Games. The management only wants to appear in the best possible way. (On Marine Fauthoux, injured in the back) I regularly talk to her on the phone. His situation is worrying. The positive point is that we still have time, she made the choice to have an operation to be there. She is an important player on the team. We hope that she will find her means to participate in the Olympics”
