For his last team in France, Camille Abily had given everything and unfortunately what happens in club with Lyon, is still not the case in Blue. An umpteenth frustration for the international 183 selections. She gave us her last interview in the tricolor jersey.


The summary of the match => Euro 2017 (quarter-final) England - France (1-0): Les Bleues pass the trap again


English Media - What's your first hot impression on this quarterfinal encounter?
I think both teams could win this game. England had a few chances, so it's a real shame because we did not score and I think it would have been good if we had scored in the first half to take the lead and maybe win this meeting.


What did you think of Jodie Taylor who needed only one opportunity to score?
Yes she is an extraordinary player, she scored a lot of goals and she needed only one opportunity to turn England's only goal, so congratulations to her.


The next goal now for the French team is the 2019 World Cup?
We still have two years to prove and we need to be better we know it. We have time before the World Cup in France to be better so I hope that the Blue will be champions in 2019.


It was your last match in the Blue jersey. What does it feel like to you?

I just wanted to enjoy my last game in the selection even if it was hard and we did not win in the end. You know we know your last match, you just want to enjoy with your team, your family and that's all.


Football Hearts - Do you think you did not try enough in front of the goal because you had possession of the ball?
Yes we had some opportunities, some opportunities [of scoring] after that we sure did not endanger the English defense a lot at times, and we were not at the end of the action. Here is hot is never easy to analyze, should review the game. But for sure we can still have some regrets, because I think we could be more successful and especially to score this goal we miss so much.


We saw that you were thoroughly, as you told us just before the match, you were super motivated to win and it was enough for only one opponent opportunity to break your dream again?
(smile) Yes, that's for sure we were all 100%. After me of course I knew it could be the last game so I had more motivations, but here it was not paid this time, it's life ...


You also missed a frame, Wendie Renard (suspended) without talking about Amel Majri (package before the Euro) or even Eve Perisset (suspended)?
Of course. Surely Wendie missed us. After even if everyone gave the best of ourselves, we would have been more successful if we could have all our girls who could play, now it's like that, it's football.


We also have the impression that the arbitration was against you?
(nods) Yes I have not ... Sincerely on this game, I was not too shocked, after that I think they also have a lot of progress to make, as we on many fields. That's going to evolve better and better.


In a press conference, we talked about teams progressing, and many said they had taken example of you, such as Belgium or Australia.
It's good but for now we do not win (smile) so there may be better examples than us. In any case as I said I think France has great potential and really very good players and here is hoping that the first title is in France in 2019.


You think that next season it will have to push even more to have more French talents? Does not there is a pool in France?
Yes of course you must always push. No, I think there is really quality. After that you have to live high level matches, the experience does not happen overnight so you have to make matches, whether in club, in the Champions League or with the France team. And here the advantage of being already qualified [for the 2019 World Cup] there will be very interesting matches for the team of France and I think that will allow us to progress [in view of this deadline.]
