I can confirm Montpellier will play 4-4-2 with Lattaf Oqvist up front Asseyi and Makanza on the wings. Tenret and Wenger will be subs for the front two as well as Ramos.
So, that confirms what you said about Öqvist and Lattaf, and what I thought about Asseyi and Makanza. Do you know more about the two CMF ? I said Lavogez and Utsugi, but the first one is with the U19 NT at the moment, preparing the Euro (as with other MHSC players: Durand, Toletti, Robert, Thomas).
As you said the full playing squad was not there. They will end up with 25 players a mix of youngsters, experience and a few foreigners. I am not sure the starting central midfield were there yesterday.
Öqvist started the match even though she only just arrived in Montpellier? Out of curiosity, how did she do?
She wasn't there, she is coming on Saturday, and starts training on Monday, but she will start up front for sure.
25 players is definitely too much , I think from here to the end of the transfers market (september 23 ) at least 2-3 will leave . You said Tenret , Wenger and Ramos will be the subs of the starters , that's mean De Revière left the club ? Did Beattie played ? Anyway , Arras losing by seven goals to Montpellier is somehow normal , Arras did a bad recruitment not improving the squad as they needed too , only Diallo is a good acquisition . Henin-Beaumont were beaten by the PSG B team with plenty girls born in 96/97 ......I know 3/4 of their last year defense were missing plus starter cf Pauline Cousin but still this is definitely not a good signal . Rumours say Laura Agard decided to retire ....I really hope they are wrong but til today she didn't find another team which is a bad signal.....
They played 3x30, I think it was 8-0, it was up to do the assistant ref for the last 30' but Charlotte took the flag off me, saying she wanted to so it. Starting 11 Phillipe, Viana Gadea Meilleroux Diguelman, Asseyi Bilbault Furuberget Makanza, Lattaf Tenret. The 7 subs all used : Beattie, Toto, De Reviere, Pervier, Ramos, Wenger + ? Ayachi was there but coming back from an op. NB : I have put toto because her family name is censored by big soccer Jenny played at center back, she is learning French so it is not easy for her to understand everything at the moment.
Preparation match today - Guingamp-PSG 1-1 PSG was still playing without Benameur, Houara, Krahn, Delannoy, Boulleau, Bresonik, Heath, Horan, Georges, Delie, Asllani. Guingamp without Mbock and Le Bihan.
From what I have seen on the day at training on the bus and at the game, she seems ok. Spoke a bit with her like the other players, nothing special really.
First Live broadcast for D1 : Lyon-Juvisy 7 sept on France 4 (18h45) PSG-Muret 8 sept on Eurosport (14h).
Wow, that's also quite a boost in confidence for whole Italian women's football! Having a player in a French top-team!
Why you are so surprised ? Sara is a top player...Anyway , French league is going to be amazing next year, It has been confirmed that Laura Bouillot is training with Saint-Etienne lately !
While Laure Bouillot (21 years old, 18 goals last season for Yzeure) signed for Saint-Etienne who will be much stronger that last year in attack with Morel, Coton-Pélagie and Bouillot, Juvisy played its first friendly today. The Essoniennes beat Val d'Orge (D2) 9-1. They played without their internationals but with some of their other new players.
Friendly match tonight... Montpellier beat Nîmes (D2) : 11-0 ! Oqvist scored 4 goals (!), Ramos 2, Bilbault and De Reviere 2 each...
Well if the friendlies are too easy, they don't always prepare properly for the League, especially some sequences they are working upon. Apparently Wenger scored one of the goal. She is a good creative player. I was surprised, she was not even in the 25 players list for the Euros. Alongside Tenret, she will be an understudy for the starters like Lattaf or Oqvist but she should get minutes if she works hard.
Öqvist 4 (24', 51', 53', 69'), Bilbault 2 (44', 62'), De Reviere 2 (63', 77'), Ramos 3 (68', 71', 85'). Wenger did not score according to MHSCFoot.com. Looks like France have a good team for the U19 Championships by the way. I heard they beat Guingamp 4-0! I really expected EAG to be better than that.
Some precisions about the scorers for Juvisy : Kabore x3, Sandrine Dusang, Melissa Gomes, Laurie Teinturier, Nelly Guilbert, Julie Machart x2.
One of my friend in Boston said Sydney Leroux is coming our way when the NWSL finishes ? Did anyone hear anything about it ?
