Kheira Hamraoui (2013)

Kheira Hamraoui (born January 13, 1990 in Croix ) is a French soccer player . The northern French moved to FC Barcelona for the 2018/19 season.

Club career

Kheira Hamraoui began as a 9-year-old with the organized football sport with a sports and cultural association of the Maghreb community in Roubaix ; At 14, she moved to the neighboring amateur club OS Leers . There she soon attracted attention not only regionally, but also nationally, became a B youth national player (see below) and was accepted into the French “ women's football cadre forge”, the Center National de Formation et d'Entraînement , in 2006 . In the 2006/07 season she played eleven of the 22 point games for its first division women's team CNFE Clairefontaine , with her only goal of the season eight days after her 17th birthday. When the football association withdrew the CNFE Clairefontaine 2007 permission to participate in the league, Hamraoui returned to northern France and played for a year for FCF Hénin-Beaumont before moving on to Racing Saint-Étienne in 2008 .

At the end of her first season there, the 1.78 m tall, "very assertive and at the same time technically skilled midfielder " had become the best league scorer in her wiveship with ten goals. When the women's division of Racing moved to AS Saint-Étienne immediately after the end of the season, the ASSE green was their fourth top division address within four years. In the 2010/11 season Hamraoui was again the most successful goalscorer Saint-Étiennes in Division 1 (nine hits). Her new team always finished the table in midfield until 2012, but was never able to advance into the phalanx of the "big four clubs". After all, she won her first national title there in the national cup competition for the Challenge de France , when ASSE asserted itself in the final against HSC Montpellier on penalties .

In 2012, she moved to the capital club Paris Saint-Germain , which also significantly increased the budget of the women's department before the start of the season and staffed several international national players (the Germans Annike Krahn and Linda Bresonik , Kosovare Asllani from Sweden, the Costa Rican Shirley Cruz Traña and the two Americans Tobin Heath and Lindsey Horan ) had strengthened enormously to prevent Olympique Lyon from continuing its "championship subscription". In order to assert herself in this ambitious environment, Kheira Hamraoui needed a fundamental change in her attitude towards football, as she herself stated in early 2014:

“I didn't do anything beforehand to reach my potential, had a bad attitude [... and only] used 30% of my capabilities. [I was] happy to have a regular place in the first division. [I switched to PSG mainly] to be closer to my family in Lille . "

The first fruits of the "new Hamraoui" were a short debut in the senior national team (see below) and winning the runner-up in 2012/13. In the 2013/14 season , her club coach Farid Benstiti no longer used her in the attacking midfield, but as a " clearer " in front of the back four - which consisted of the national players Houara , Delannoy , Georges and Boulleau  . In this new role, she saw record breaking shortness in April 2015 when she saw the red card for an elbow strike six minutes later in the European Cup semi- final first leg at VfL Wolfsburg , only coming on in the 81st minute of the game. This also cost her participation in the final due to a suspension for three matches.

After four years and four runners-up championships with Paris, the “subscription champion” Olympique Lyon signed Kheira Hamraoui. There she won the triple of championship, cup and Champions League in her first season (2016/17), but she had only made 14 appearances in all competitions, only nine of them in Lyon's starting eleven. In the following season she played 19 of the 22 point games, but even then she was only on the pitch in nine matches at kick-off. With seven goals in the league and five in the cup, she has become one of the more successful goal scorers in OL. In June 2018, Hamraoui announced that he wanted to venture into a foreign club; this turned out to be FC Barcelona . Their first season there ended with a runner-up for the Catalans in the Primera División , and their eleven were in the final of the European Cup. Kheira Hamraoui, who scored the goal of the day in the semi-final first leg at Bayern Munich , was not allowed to take part because she was sent off with a yellow-red card in the second leg against the Germans and was therefore suspended for the final . The following season she won the championship title with Barcelona, but again missed the final of the 2019/20 UEFA Women's Champions League . After the French had scored the only goal of their wiveship in the quarter-finals, the 1-0 defeat against VfL Wolfsburg ended their hopes in the semifinals .

In the national team

Kheira Hamraoui played for France's B (eight games without a goal) and A youth team (nine games with four goals), and as a 17-year-old she also played six games with a goal in the U-20s. With the latter, she took part in the 2008 World Cup in Chile , in which the French took fourth place in the end , and was used in three games of the preliminary and final round.

Four years later, in October 2012, she made her debut in the French women's senior team , when their coach Bruno Bini replaced the new Parisian in a friendly match against England shortly before the end of the game. It was only under Bini's successor Philippe Bergeroo , who called it up for the Cyprus Cup in March 2014 and used it against Scotland , Australia and - for the first time even in the starting lineup - the Netherlands . She was part of the French squad for the 2015 World Cup as well as for the 2016 Olympic football tournament . Hamraoui's conversion problems after her club change from Paris to Lyon cost her appointment to the French European Championship squad in 2017 , as Bergeroo's successor Olivier Echouafni justified at the press conference when he presented his squad. It took two and a half years before the reigning national coach Corinne Diacre Kheira Hamraoui was again included in the Bleues line-up for two World Cup preparatory games in April 2019 - and also substituted against Japan . However , she was not subsequently appointed to the French 23-man squad for the World Cup in her own country .

Hamraoui scored her first of three goals so far in a total of 36 international matches in 2016 in a European Championship qualifier in Valenciennes , that is, in her home country. (As of April 4, 2019)
