Bon Marty, who received the Women’s World Cup Golden Ball last year and the Ballon d’Or in October, scored in the final against France following the semifinal against the Netherlands and was selected as the top player in the Nations League Final semi-final, final.

“We had never beaten France before. But it was a long time ago when we had our latest showdown, and in the meantime, we have improved a lot. We wanted to beat France and we were confident. This team is not going to stop. We will continue to support our individual capabilities, the level of our teams and the level of our national teams. We want more, and we hope this success continues,” Bonmarti said. “It will be difficult, but we want to win every game. That is all we aim for.” 스포츠토토
