Club career

The attacker , whose ancestors immigrated to France from the Ivorian district of Lacs , was less than six years old when her mother registered her in the football department of Olympique Viarmes-Asnières . In the beginning she was the only girl among boys there. Later, as a teenager, she played for FC Domont . In 2005 she was accepted into the Center technique national Fernand-Sastre and also played for its league team . In 2007 she moved to the first division club Paris Saint-Germain. But although she played 27 competitive games in the championship and club cup, scoring 21 goals and only three times not in the starting lineup, Marie-Laure Delie was drawn to HSC Montpellier in 2008 . There she won her first title in 2009 alongside veterans like Sabrina Viguier and Hoda Lattaf with the Challenge de France , the national cup, and was also in the final of this competition in 2010, 2011 and 2012. In 2013 Delie returned to Île-de-France to play again for Paris SG. To do this, PSG had to "buy" her out of her one-year contract - for the first time between two French women's football teams and allegedly for a transfer fee of 50,000 euros. With the capital city team, she was the second-best goalscorer in the league in the 2013/14 season and also runner-up as a year later. In the Champions League 2014/15 she reached the final with PSG, but lost 2-1 despite her equalizer against 1. FFC Frankfurt .

In the 2015/16 season she temporarily lost her regular place at PSG because coach Farid Benstiti is attacking Lindsey Horan and the two new signings Cristiane and Anja Mittag . In the first third of the season (seven point games), Delie only made five appearances, only two of them in the starting line-up, in which she nevertheless scored three goals. In the further course of the season, however, she played her way back into the starting line-up, and together with Cristiane, she was an indispensable part of the Paris storm series under Benstiti's successor Patrice Lair , who has been in office since 2016 . In May 2017 she was again in a European Cup final , which her womanhood lost to Olympique Lyon this time . In 2018 she won the state cup with PSG . Immediately afterwards, after five years in the capital, she moved to the newly promoted FC Metz and in 2019 to the Spanish Primera División club Madrid CFF . After she only got a few opportunities to play there (eight games, only two of them in the starting XI, and only one goal game), she ended her career in March 2020.

As a national player

Marie-Laure Delie has run through all the French junior teams from U-17 to U-20 and scored 32 goals in a total of 39 international matches. She was already the most successful goalscorer of the tournament at the U-19 European Championship in Iceland in 2007 . In September 2009 she made her first appearance in the senior national team and was then part of the team for many years. She was extremely dangerous in this group.

National coach Bruno Bini had also appointed Delie to his squad for the 2011 World Cup . Her winning goal to 1-0 against Nigeria was also the first goal of this tournament, in which she scored two goals in five games and in the end came fourth with the Bleues. She was part of the French Olympic squad in 2012 , was also successful in the opening game there and played all six games of France in this tournament. Coach Bini also called her to the 2013 European Championship squad , where she then scored the French women’s first two tournament goals in the 3-1 win against Russia . She was also in the starting line-up in the second group game. In the last two meetings of the Bleues in Sweden, however, she was no longer able to participate due to an adductor injury .

Even under Bini's successor Philippe Bergeroo , Marie-Laure Delie was a fixture in the attacking center of the national team, but in the 2014/15 season mostly only as a supplementary player behind Eugénie Le Sommer and Gaëtane Thiney , which is mutually related to a reduction in their hit rate. She was still part of the squad for the 2015 World Cup , where she returned to the starting line-up. On March 9, 2016, she played her 100th international match in the SheBelieves Cup 2016 in a 0-0 win against England in Boca Raton ( USA ) . Delie was also in the French squad for the 2016 Olympic football tournament ; The coach Olivier Echouafni, who was subsequently employed, also considered them . So she took part in the French squad in her second European Championship finals in 2017 . Echouafni's successor, Corinne Diacre, only took them into account in two matches in the second half of this year.

Marie-Laure Delie has scored 65 goals in 123 international A matches. (As of November 27, 2017) This makes her the third most successful shooter in the history of the Bleues, behind Marinette Pichon and Eugénie Le Sommer .
