Not bilingual, she also takes advantage of English to sometimes be understood. “”It is still easier to go to them in Dutch. I believe it is up to me to adapt even if many players speak French. It helps me but I try to make efforts. In any case, I am never alone or rejected. Besides, I often play board games with Tine, Laura and Janice. Afterwards, it is true that sometimes, when I arrive in a group where they speak all Dutch, the time that I manage to formulate a sentence, they have already gone to something else (laughs). In such situations, it is sometimes difficult. In general, I have never known any problems. When I started, I came with the Standardwomen. At the time, Standard played the titles and was very well represented. “
In Switzerland, since the transfer of Toloba to Nantes, the standard has been absent from the national team. Fon, Brackman, Humartus have made flash passages in the national team in recent years but the thinning does not seem to be unraveling for the moment.
A new Elite Pole of ACFF will open up to Raal La Louvière
“Maybe soon others will follow. But apart from the standard and a section at La Raal, where we find training centers ?, she wonders. It’s hard to get out of the players. I hope the euro will encourage small Walloon to get started. Even if, I have never done these football schools like Flemish topsportschools. I had a normal course. It is also nice to have a life outside of football. There is not only one way to achieve its goals. Like Welma fon who started late and who is not very far from the national team (Editor’s note: she signed in Saint-Etienne).”
Clap First at the Euro
This Thursday, Lisa in any case experienced a great first in her career: holder at the Tourbillon stadium in Sion in Switzerland, the Marchoise played her very first match in a big tournament. A first at the Euro that she had been waiting for a long time, her first selection dating back to 2017, her first CAP in April 2023. “For a goalkeeper, it’s often like that “, she smiles.
Since February and the arrival of the new selector, the counters had been reset between her and Nicky Evrard, who had given her place of n ° 1 a little more than a year following an injury. Eight games to play the alternation after the entry of Beta, Lisa therefore resumed her place.
“When a new coach arrives, he often wants to see the posts again. It’s normal. So much Nicky and I have scored points in these last games,” Comments Lisa, 3rd in the hierarchy three years ago in England. “”Since then, I have taken a lot of experience and insurance. The players also feel it. I put my voice. My transfer to France has done a lot. I have progressed on the tactical, technical plans but also on everything that is specific to the guardians. All this allowed me to move forward in the hierarchy when the opportunity arose. I enjoy today what I am currently experiencing. Now I’m launched. “
“Le Havre is only a step in my career”
Starting in French D1 in the summer of 2021, Lisa Lichtfus spent four seasons in France in clubs that do not necessarily play the top with our neighbors. If she feeds on ambition for her career, Lisa will continue in Le Havre.
“I still have a year of contract. In my head, I did not enter this transfer window. I intend to play my last year of contract. In Le Havre, I continue to learn and seen my experience, it’s also up to me to share them with young people. It’s a new role for me, she explains. But clearly, my goal is to continue to progress. It is towards a big club that I want to go. I know that Le Havre is just a level. I don’t want to stop there, I want to live something else, discover other more raised, more attractive championships. “
