Gaëtane Thiney (born October 28, 1985 in Troyes ) is a French football player . The player, who is now mainly used in attacking midfield , is under contract with Paris FC and also belongs to the French national team .

Club career

Gaëtane Thiney grew up as the youngest of three siblings and began her sporting career as a child at ASS Brienne-le-Château . In 2000, she received the offer of the FFF football association to train regularly at the national youth training center in Clairefontaine , which she refused as in the following two years. Instead, the club Olympique Saint-Memmie signed the 14-year-old on the recommendation of his attacker Marinette Pichon , who had also played in Brienne-le-Château . In her first season Thiney was still there in a youth team, but from 15 she played almost exclusively in Olympiques first division women ; She made her first division debut on September 17, 2000. When Saint-Memmie was relegated to the second division in 2006 , she moved to USCCO Compiègne . In Compiègne, she increasingly proved to be a two-footed goal-scoring and accurate player behind the storm tips , and that in both the first and second division, to which the USCCO was relegated in 2007. Gaëtane Thiney earned her living there after completing a sports science degree (known as STAPS in France) as a teacher at a primary school.

Since the summer of 2008 she wore the dress of Juvisy FCF , one of the top clubs in France. In the 2010/11 season she was with the Franciliennes for the first time in the Champions League; there you get four hits in nine missions up to the quarter-finals. In May 2012 she was awarded a “ Trophée de l'UNFP ” by the players' union as the best French footballer . In spring 2013 she reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Women's Champions League with Juvisy ; in this competition she had scored two goals herself. Especially in the 2013/14 season, Gaëtane Thiney made her breakthrough to the top of France as a scorer, both in the national team (15 goals in 14 appearances) and in the league , in which she scored 25 goals in 22 games so that even the national center forward Marie-Laure Delie left behind. Accordingly, Thiney was once again awarded a UNFP trophy as the best female footballer in France in 2014 and was also honored by the FFF as the best female player of the 2013/14 season. Thiney prefers to use the left side of her own attacks, but is not fixated on it due to her willingness to run and is also a player who does not shy away from duels in the opposing penalty area.
Even if they won with their clubs not make the national title, it has the advances of the financially strong competitors Olympique Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain resisted, in the summer of 2014 - at that time she has Sandrine Soubeyrand as captain relieved of their clubs - for two Years and again in 2016 for a season at Juvisy. Thiney justified this by saying that she ...

“I always made career decisions based on what makes me happy and enriches me. [...] Juvisy is an association whose family values ​​are close to my heart. "

When Juvisy FCF merged with Paris FC in 2017 , she took this step and extended her contract there until 2019. If she will play for another club at all, she said in 2018, it would certainly not be for a French one.

Her professional attitude is evident, among other things, from the fact that she recently decided not to go skiing during the winter break , although this decision was very difficult for her. In her around 380 league games, she was sent off twice, in both cases for an " emergency brake ": in March 2013 against Toulouse FC and in September 2019 against ASJ Soyaux .

In both the club and the national team she has been wearing the number 17 on her own request for more than a decade. This is her personal memory of her former teammate and friend Déborah Jeannet , who died at the age of 23; At Olympique Saint-Memmie, Thiney wore 10, Jeannet 7.

Gaëtane Thiney has been working full-time for the French football association FFF since the beginning of 2012, where she is primarily responsible for the development of girls' football in schools. Since October 2014 she has also been commenting regularly on the pay-TV channel Canal + matches of Ligue 1 and the men's Champions League , where her frank words and her analytical skills are valued. After all, in 2016 she acted as ambassador for the official tournament transport company SNCF at the men's European championship in her own country .

The national player

Thiney (October 2013)

With France's U-19 national team, Gaëtane Thiney won the 2003 European Championship in Germany - the first international title for French women's football - where she played in four of the five matches and scored one goal. From 2005 to 2007 she played six games (a hit of her own) in France's U-21 team. In 2005 in Turkey and 2007 in Thailand , she was also one of the French female students at the respective summer universities.

She made her senior team debut in a match against China on February 28, 2007 , and Gaëtane Thiney wore the captain's armband for the first time five years to the day after her debut. Your first major tournament with the A-Elf was the 2009 European Championship in Finland. She was also in the French squad for the 2011 World Cup in Germany , played in all six Bleues games, scored two goals - both in the 4-0 win against Canada - and finished fourth in the tournament. Her second goal against Canada was then nominated for the goal of the tournament.

In the 2011/12 season, which the Bleues finished with 17 wins in 17 encounters (including the preparatory games in July 2012), she was the only player who coach Bruno Bini considered in all games in the starting lineup. She was part of the French Olympic squad in 2012 and also played all six Bleues games at this tournament . Coach Bini also called her into the 2013 European Championship squad and used her in all four matches in France's starting line-up in Sweden. UEFA then chose Thiney to join the tournament's All-Star Team .

Gaëtane Thiney before the Bleues left the team quarters at the 2017 European Championships

At the beginning of March 2014, Thiney was accepted into the “ international club of 100 ” when he played against Scotland on the occasion of the Cyprus Cup , and two months later was also included in the global list of top scorers . With her 13 goals in qualifying for the 2015 World Cup , she and three other players were Europe's most successful attacker in the group stage. She was also part of the squad for the 2015 World Cup , in which she played all five games, but only as a substitute for the last three, because Bini successor Philippe Bergeroo relied on Le Sommer / Delie at the helm after the group's defeat against Colombia . On the other hand, she was part of the French squad again in September 2015, but was not used by Bergeroo for a minute; in October of that year she was not even on the 23 list for two meetings of the Bleues. The coach initially justified this factual dismantling, which caused considerable media coverage, with the words that he was “not there to make himself popular”. After the criticism of this decision persisted, he added as a justification that Thiney was no longer at the forefront of the club, but a little withdrawn, but he needed players with scoring qualities, which he would rather find in the very young women Léger , Gauvin , Le Bihan and Diani think to find. Given their low impact in the 2-1 home defeat against the Netherlands - France's goal was scored by a defensive midfielder - Bergeroo had to put up with questions from the media again. The topic kept the media busy in the period that followed; An article from early 2016 in France Football suggests that the coach Thiney did not forgive the missing of a big scoring chance in the extension of the World Cup quarter-final against Germany .

Despite a possible disappointment in not even being included in the preliminary 28-man roster for the 2016 Olympic tournament , the player said on social media that she will " keep her resolve, smile and form with the 'aim of the 2019 World Cup '" . And after Bergeroo was prematurely dismissed due to the lack of Olympic success for the French, his successor Olivier Echouafni Thiney called back to the A-team and immediately put her back in the starting line-up after a 15-month break in his own debut match in September. He justified this decision with the words “This choice seems obvious to me. My criteria are based on the performance shown. And if you have someone who has already won twice as the best player of the season, they must have certain qualities about. " . Logically, she was also part of France's European Championship squad in 2017 . When Echouafni was subsequently released from his position and replaced by Corinne Diacre , who had announced a significant change in personnel, Thiney was again absent from their first line-up. She reacted to this renewed disregard with nine goals and four assists in eight point games, making her the most dangerous French woman in the league at the beginning of November 2017. Not only because of this, the women's football site footofeminin.fr formulated in a thorough analysis of the French pool of national players in mid-November 2017 that Thiney was a “legitimate choice” for the coach in terms of sport. In March 2018 she was back in Diacre's 23-man squad for the SheBelieves Cup , where she came on in the 61st minute of France's opening game against England, scored the Bleues consolation goal after a quarter of an hour and also won against the USA three days later played the entire 90 minutes on the pitch as in the subsequent 3-0 win over Germany. In this last game of the tournament - the highest win to date against the Germans - she was involved in all three goals as a template. In 2019 she is the undisputed part of the French 23-man squad for the World Cup in her own country . According to the assessment of Charlotte Vincelot at footofeminin.fr, Thiney is the only one in this line-up for whom Diacre does not have an equivalent substitute (doublure) because the attacking midfielder is both a designer and an executor and is at odds with the attackers Eugénie Le Sommer and Kadidiatou Diani almost blindly understand.

In Diacre's 23 roster for the Tournoi de France in March 2020, it was not taken into account; this indicates the end of the international career of the 34-year-olds. When asked about this, the trainer said:

“In a personal conversation I gave her to understand that [this non-consideration] need not be final. [... But] since the World Cup, I have found her performances below what she was able to do before. "

Gaëtane Thiney has scored a total of 58 goals in her 163 international matches (as of November 9, 2019); This makes her the fourth best French goalscorer of all time internationally .
