Club career

Marie-Angèle Blin comes from a small town on the southern edge of Lyon . At the latest when she was 14, she joined the football department of FC Lyon and was soon playing in the club's first women's team. In the 1984/85 season , the FCL managed for the first time in the French championship finals - there was no nationwide top league at the time - to advance to the final. Blin was in the final eleven, who had to admit defeat to VGA Saint-Maur and be content with the unofficial runner-up title. In the years that followed, the defender with FC Lyon regularly dropped out of the competition earlier, even if there were other national players in the ranks of the club in Véronique Nowak , Marie-Christine Umdenstock and Jocelyne Gout .

It seems unlikely that Marie-Angèle Blin switched to JS Poissy in 1989 . Although this information can be found on the website of the French Football Association, its data sheet at footofeminin.fr rather suggests that it was not used for a long time in 1989/90, possibly due to injury. In addition, Blin was not one of the women Poissy had called up in the championship finals . Instead, she played the quarter-final second leg of FC Lyon against ASJ Soyaux three weeks before the final .

In the 1990/91 season she won her first national title with Lyon. The final opponent was again the VGA Saint-Maur, for which the FCL had to prevail in the previous semifinals against the JS Poissy. Lyon's new coach Jean-François Vuillemin used Marie-Angèle Blin more in midfield , and in the 1991/92 season the women only reached the semi-finals, but at the same time qualified for the first division of France introduced from the 1992/93 season , the Championnat National 1A . In 1993 , Lyon became the first title holder of the new 12-league and was able to repeat this success two years later after Lyon had to let Juvisy FCF go ahead in between . After this third championship and 15 years at FC Lyon, Blin ended her playing career shortly before her 29th birthday.

Marie-Angèle Blin lived in Valence in the 2010s .

National player

In February 1985 Marie-Angèle Blin made her debut under national coach Francis Coché for the French women's national team in a 0-1 in Italy ; her last A international match, now under Coché's successor Aimé Mignot , she played against Germany in September 1992 . Despite a year and a half break in 1989 and 1990, she made 30 international matches for the Bleues ; She also scored two goals in it, both in the 6-1 win over Ivory Coast in April 1992.

She did not take part in a major tournament because the French women were unable to qualify for a European or World Cup finals during Blin's active years , and women's football had not yet found acceptance at the Olympic Games . Your personal international match record contains ten wins, seven draws and 13 defeats; She faced Italy particularly often, namely in six games, three times the opponent was Belgium and Spain, respectively, as well as Sweden, Federal Republic of Germany and the USA twice.
