The shooter against Iceland in the last group game (1-1), Melvine Malard dedicated her goal to her partner who had left the rally due to an injury.
France forward Melvine Malard after Iceland’s 1-1 draw in Rotterham (England) on Monday: “We miss Marie-Antoinette Katoto very much. I wanted to celebrate this evening and make a dedication to Marie. She is for us, we are for her. (on her goal?) Forwards, we have a big role to play because Marie is a really great scorer and a great player. I don’t hesitate to ask her advice and ask other players how she plays to really help the team. And then I also try to play soccer. (Extra energy?) We don’t expect a competitor to leave us during the competition. Besides, we did everything together, we did a lot of preparations, we expected to do the whole competition together, so of course we are very disappointed, but also very motivated for her and the team.“.
