Grace Geyoro has suddenly become one of the most experienced players in France’s squad for the Euros. Last month the head coach, Laurent Bonadei, made the controversial decision to drop the captain Wendie Renard, the vice-captain Eugénie Le Sommer, who also happens to be the most capped female player in France of all time, as well as Kenza Dali. Geyoro was left standing and the Paris St-Germain midfielder is going into her sixth major tournament with the national team and has a clear objective: “To win.”
As we sit down for an exclusive interview in Nancy as the Euro preparations get underway she says she is optimistic about France’s chances in Switzerland. “We have a great team, we have young players, we have more experienced players,” says the 27-year-old, who has 98 caps and 19 goals for her country. “We score goals, we win important matches. We have players who have won titles this season, in England for example.”
