Corine Franco
Corine Franco , born Corine Petit (born October 5, 1983 in La Rochelle ), is a former French soccer player .
Club career
The defensive midfielder played as a teenager for Avenir Maritime Laleu and ES La Rochelle . In 2001 she moved to the traditional first division club ASJ Soyaux ; However, she could not win titles there in the following seven years. But she became a national player during this time.
Corine Franco has been wearing the colors of Olympique Lyon since 2008 , with whom she has won the French championship eight times (from 2009 to 2016), the national cup five times (2012 to 2016) and the European Cup final five times (2010 to 2013 and 2016). In Lyon's victories in 2011 and 2016, it was not used in the final, but was used in the 2012 title . Since the beginning of 2014, she has been wearing her maiden name Petit on her jersey again. Most recently she extended her contract with OL for another year; the 2017/18 season was her tenth in Lyon and her 15th overall in France's top division. She then ended her successful playing career at the age of almost 35.
As a national player
In 2002 Corine Petit was part of the French A-Youth selection at the U-19 World Cup in Canada . In February 2003 she also played her first A international match for the French . She has played 89 international matches for the Bleues , including 11 goals (as of March 7, 2014). She took part in the 2009 European Championship finals, where she played two of France's four games. Despite a torn cruciate ligament in October 2010 , national coach Bruno Bini also called Corine Franco to the squad for the World Cup in Germany in 2011 , but then only used her in one game - the game for third place lost by France. She was part of the French Olympic squad in 2012 and played all six Bleues games at this tournament . Coach Bini also called her to the 2013 European Championship squad in Sweden , where she was on the field from the first to the last minute in all four French games.
Since taking office in 2013, Bini's successor Philippe Bergeroo has increasingly relied on Jessica Houara on the right wing . As a result, she was no longer appointed to the A squad in the 2014/15 season and was also not included in the expanded 2015 World Cup squad .
