Career

society

Born near Paris, Corchia began his career in 1996 at Stade Olympique from Rosny-sous-Bois and two years later moved to the larger club Villemomble Sports , which was also based nearby. In 2003 he was invited to take part in training at the Center technique national Fernand-Sastre - often referred to as Clairefontaine for short -, the national center of excellence of the French Football Association . He trained there for three years and played at the weekend first for the amateur club AS Bondy and later for Paris Saint-Germain .

In 2006 he finally moved to Le Mans FC ; the club was then still called Le Mans UC 72 . There Corchia first signed a junior contract, but was used in 17 games for the second team of Le Mans in the Championnat de France Amateur in the 2007/08 season . On the 24th match day of the 2008/09 season he finally came to his first appearance in Ligue 1 : In the 1: 2 defeat against OGC Nice , he played from the start until he was substituted at 1: 0. By the end of the season, he had a total of nine missions. In May 2009 he signed his first professional contract. In the 2009/10 season Corchia was a regular on the position of right full back and was in 35 league games on the field. In the 2-1 win over Valenciennes on December 12, 2009, he scored his first goal in Ligue 1. At the end of the season, he was relegated to Ligue 2 with the club . He stayed at Le Mans for another year and completed 36 second division games in the 2010/11 season, in which he scored one goal. The team missed direct promotion, but reached the quarterfinals of the Coupe de France this season . For the 2011/12 season, Corchia moved to FC Sochaux and thus back to Ligue 1. He signed a four-year contract in the fifth of the previous season .

He came in Sochaux for his first appearances in the European Cup, but these were limited to the two rather moderately successful playoff games against Metalist Kharkiv . A 0-0 win in Ukraine was followed by a 4-0 home defeat. Corchia's time at the club in eastern France, which is closely linked to the car manufacturer Peugeot , was characterized by placements in the lower range of Ligue 1, and the two national cup competitions were always eliminated quite early. In the third year of his club membership Corchia finally rose from the first class with Sochaux. After a total of 98 league games and four goals for the factory club, Corchia moved on to OSC Lille in the far north of the country in the summer of 2014 . With the third of last year he came back to competitive appearances outside the French borders: In the Champions League qualification , the Grasshopper Club Zurich hurdle was mastered quite easily - Corchia scored the opening goal in the first leg - but Lille lost both games in the playoffs FC Porto , so you had to be content with the Europa League . Here Lille was eliminated in the group stage, against FC Everton , VfL Wolfsburg and the Russian representative FK Krasnodar , the OSC remained without a win. In the league they finished eighth, Corchia played 31 of the 38 league games, scored one goal and was sent off twice. In the following season, 2015/16 , Corchia reached fifth place in the league with the OSC, in the more important of the two national cup competitions, the Coupe de France de football , they failed on penalties at the fourth division side from the town of Trélissac . The final was reached in the less noticed Coupe de la Ligue and lost 2-1 to Paris Saint-Germain . Corchia's personal record in that league season was 33 appearances and two goals. The 2016/17 season began with the elimination in the Europa League qualification against the Azerbaijani representative FK Qäbälä . The season in the league was also moderately successful, with the OSC booking eleventh place, the worst position since 2003. Corchia played all 38 league games, scored one goal, finally broke his tent there after three years in Lille and emigrated to Spain.

In June 2017, he signed a contract with Sevilla FC that ran until 2021. In the Andalusians Corchia could not prevail - also due to injury. So he came to only twelve missions in the league. Corchia played eight times in the Copa del Rey and the UEFA Champions League . In the Primera División, Sevilla FC finished seventh, while they were eliminated in the Champions League by Bayern Munich . In the Copa del Rey, the club reached the final and lost 5-0 to FC Barcelona . In August 2018 Corchia moved to Portugal on loan to Benfica Lisbon , but returned to Seville after the end of the season and again due to injury, initially to Seville, only to be loaned to league rivals Espanyol Barcelona after a short time .

National team

Corchia had already played a number of games for the French U-17 and U-18 national teams when he made his U-19 debut in 2008. He qualified with the team for the U-19 European Championship 2009 in Ukraine , in which he was used in all four games and was eliminated in the semifinals against England.

On September 8, 2009, he played for the first time in the French U-21 national team . It was used a total of 15 times, scoring two hits. These included five games in qualifying for the 2011 U-21 European Championship in Denmark , in which the Ukraine and Belgium failed.

In November 2016, Corchia played a 21-minute game in the French senior team in a friendly against Ivory Coast .
