Retired from football fields since 2018, Laure Boulleau will have carried out all of her career in Paris Saint-Germain. In total, the old left rear left carried the club's club jersey 232 times (19 goals), winning two Coupe de France in 2010 and 2018.
But the career of the one who has become an essential consultant of the Canal+ group could have taken a completely different direction. Invited to Europe 1, the native of Clermont-Ferrand confided in having been approached three times by Olympique Lyonnais.
Called directly by the former Boss of the Rhone club, Jean-Michel Aulas, Laure Boulleau almost gave in to the Lyon sirens. But the former French international has finally been changed and decided to continue his adventure at PSG.
Boulleau: “Aulas failed to have me”
“Once I had listened to themshe said.
Aulas almost had me, but I was caught up in this loyalty to my club, and my will to build something with PSG. I hung on, I didn't want to win something else with other clubs. With Aulas, we laugh. »»
Laure Boulleau also returned to her passion for football, born during the 1998 World Cup. “ Football arrived in my life thanks to an incredible French team in 1998, she said. Already I had two big brothers, I played with them but nothing serious. And then in 1998, I have a brutal desire to wear the same jersey as them. »»
And to add: ” Zizou is my lifelong idol, with Bixente, because I felt that we had common values. I felt that I could identify with him. In my head, there was only one goal: to sing the Marseillaise. I still have some regrets, I realize that I could have been released, a little better. I would have still made best games, to be a reference. »»
