An incredible experience
For several days, Juliette Bergé has multiplied publications and videos on social networks showing how the girls of Yzeure are preparing for this unbalanced match on paper and which sounds like the peak of their season. “The idea is to tell behind the scenes of the preparation, including training, the excitement within the club with the movement of a thousand supporters,” says Juliette Bergé. Tomorrow, before the match, then from the edge of the lawn and following the final whistle, she will capture the atmosphere of the match with her smartphone in order to broadcast it on the club’s various communication channels. “I’m living an incredible experience. My contract ends in June, but moving to the club confirms that it’s in this environment that I want to work!”
