She joined the Suncorp Stadium locker room in Brisbane with her face closed, in a hurry to go in the shower, visibly upset, probably disappointed. After the victory of the French once morest Brazil (2-1), the tricolor door clashed with the rest of the Blue, whose faces radiated happiness. It must be said that his performance was far below the very satisfactory overall collective performance of the Habs.
In the first period, the Juventus goalkeeper multiplied the approximations and slowness in the game on foot, several times scaring his team. If she mightn’t do anything regarding Debinha’s equalizer (58th), there was also this strange moment of hesitation later in the second half. On a long Brazilian ball in the 79th minute, where the former OL and OM goalkeeper did not go out, she forced her defense to come back to stop, by recovering several times, the South American offensive.
Les Bleues will need PPM at its highest level
In short, a game without for the one who also defended the colors of Arsenal and who, since 2020, has taken over from Sarah Bouhaddi in the France team. While the door to the 8 Champions League, who had retired from international because angry with Deacon, before reopening the door, laments, in regular tweets, having to live this World Cup from her sofa, she knows that Peyraud-Magnin does not not likely to let go of the reins anytime soon.
Asked this Tuesday, at Sydney Football Stadium, regarding the possibility of establishing Constance Picaud, the future number 1 of PSG, for the third group stage match once morest Panama (12 p.m. French time), Hervé Renard indicated that the girl with 43 selections would surely hold its place in the cages despite everything. “The position of goalkeeper is a special position. What you have to take into consideration is that before this third game we are not qualified. It is not at all the same way (to approach it) than when you are already qualified for the next round, when you have zero pressure,” said the man in the white shirt.

“We are staying in the competition, we only have 4 points, let’s stay focused. A top-level player is able to renew efforts as often as possible,” he said. And it is precisely because it will be necessary to see the sovereign, serene and diligent Pauline Peyraud-Magnin until the end, even when work is scarce as once morest Jamaica, that this sudden drop in speed once morest the Auriverde has questioned .
To go far in Australia, the France team will need a “PPM” at its zenith. After taking office at the end of March, despite the emergence of Picaud, whom he had established once morest Canada in April to revive competition, Hervé Renard did not surprise when deciding on the status of number 1 in the hierarchy. guards. “Why the coach chose her, I can’t say, I’m not in his head. But I understand it because she has all the qualities to be number 1 in the French team and in the club”, praised her on July 19, during a joint press conference, number 3 Solène Durand, with whom she forged real bonds of friendship off the field.
“When you’re in a team, club or selection, there is rivalry that sets in. Sometimes it’s pretty good, sometimes it’s pretty bad. With Pauline we’ve always had a good mentality, that’s a pleasure to work with her,” said the Sassuolo goalkeeper. “It’s the first time I’ve seen such healthy competition within a group,” Picaud bounced back.
“She did not have an easy career, she arrived late and she knew how to prove herself, but I really learn thanks to her”, continued the PSG goalkeeper regarding the one who stayed in the club for a long time. shadow in Lyon, before hatching in Issy, then Saint-Etienne, and confirming in Marseille during the rise of the Marseille club in D1.
A player, “in her world”
“She’s a player who has a special character. We’ll tell the truth, she’s in her world”, laughed Durand, underlining how much the native of the capital of Gaul supported her during her ligament rupture. crossed in 2022. A support that she returned to him last summer at the Euro, when Peyraud-Magnin suddenly lost his companion.
Despite this drama, she had held her rank in England, participating fully in the course of the Blue until the semi-finals, solid on her line, reassuring in the air from the top of her meter 75, and only struck down by an insatiable Alexandra Popp. A collective work for the one who displays a great bond with her guardian counterparts, therefore. “For my part, I observe the teammates around me a lot, who have qualities other than mine. Being able to learn from the people who are around you is important”, said the main interested party before entering her first World Cup.

“I do everything for the team, including forgetting myself sometimes, if the collective is strong we will be strong”, she insisted to underline the importance of a united group. Was she overtaken by the pressure at the time of this first big shock once morest the Brazilians, in an overheated enclosure? In any case, the 30-year-old must not have been kind to herself following the match, aware of the shortcomings she may have displayed, but without overdoing it either. Her hesitations were without consequences, and she will try to bounce back, perhaps this Wednesday in Sydney, to remind all those who might have doubted that she is the boss.
