Undefeous in a competitive way since 2018, undefeating at the European festival since 2017 and undefeating on foreign soil since 2013, the history of the players of The Olympique Lyonnais Women, possibly the most successful foreign football team in the world, will soon honor our film.Screens.
Early next month, a team-centric documentary will be released through Rouge Distribution.Written and directed by Stephanie Gillard and produced through actress Julie Gayet, “The Players – Not Here To Dance,” he follows the team at the peak of his 2018/19 triple season, focusing on his daily life as professional athletes.
The documentary’s name answers a question asked of Lyon’s leading star Ada Hegeberg, who was chosen in December 2018 as the winner of the first Women’s Ballon d’Or in Paris, after receiving the top prestigious singles award given to a footballer, French host Martin Solveig asked him if he knew how to do live “twerk” in front of the camera.Gillard also believes that female footballers in France have been compared through newshounds with dancers rather than being considered athletes.
The 87-minute film premiered at the Cannes virtual market in June and is described as “an adventure in the centre of Olympique Lyonnais”.Weaving the last 8 matches of his campaign, which culminated in his victory in the Champions League final over Barcelona, with The Training Regime, Gymnastics Sessions and Press Conferences, promises to be “an invitation to review the position given to women.in sport: a global where the values of respect and openness will be the pillars of the evolution towards equality.”
Not There To Dance is the newest line in developing features in women’s teams. Earlier this year, Netflix announced that it would make a film about the winning team of the 1999 FIFA World Cup, the so-called 99’ers, and the women’s Real Madrid.team will also be the subject of a docu TV series.The 3 jobs will be distributed through production corporations created through women.
Actress Julie Gayet, co-founder of her own production company, Rouge International, said in 2007: “I imagined generating a film about women that was not only for women, but a feminist film in the sense of asserting a preference for equality in all acts of life, understood by all.”
Former Lyon midfielder Melissa Plaza added: “I was very moved by this documentary.It’s an honest and committed announcement that deserves to be broadcast to as many other people as possible.”
Captain Wendie Renard seems to be one of the stars of the film who remembers how things have changed since joining the club at the age of 16, a time when women were not allowed to sign professional contracts and had to perform at matches in their uniform.Because there were no changing rooms. Now, along with teammates Sarah Bouhaddi and Eugenie Le Sommer, Renard can become the first player in history to win seven European club titles next week.
There is a scene in JD Sports where 3 of the players are interviewed through a male salesman at which point they compete, who is then surprised to notice that they are professionals, “are they already professional?!”Welsh captain Jess Fishlock, who of the team that season, says the lack of popularity for his participation in the game is far more vital to players than any men’s football pay disparity.”Not being treated with respect and not being treated like a professional is much worse than Ada not receiving the same amount of cash as Messi or Ronaldo.”
This week, Olympique Lyonnais is about to write another page in football history, as the UEFA Women’s Champions League restarts ten months after the last circular of the competition.Having won the last 4 editions of the tournament, Lyon can be the first team since the legendary men’s team Real Madrid wins five consecutive European Cups if he can spend his next 3 matches betting in the Basque Country of northern Spain.
Winning or losing, the team has already recorded its call on the legend of women’s football and Not There To Dance dedicates its achievements on screen to past generations that can fight that women’s football has had to overcome.
