Nevertheless, Olivier Krumbholz warned his squad: “I hope we’ll be able to let loose more in the semi-final, to find a bit more quality of play. Physically, it’s tough. I found that we were a bit, at times, in difficulty against Germany. But with the help of the crowd at the end, I still think we were less worn out than them. That’s why we managed to control the last few minutes.”
For this semi-final of the 2024 Olympic Games, the coach of the French team made two changes. Léna Grandveau (dislocated left ring finger) is finally fit for the competition, as is Sarah Bouktit (shoulder pain). Ondono and Zaadi Deuna are among the reserves.
