Born on October 2, 1992 in Bordeaux, Laurianne Cervera starts her second season in Albi in D1 and begins her fourth season in the Elite after having known with the TFC and Muret.

Laurianne is said to be a friendly girl with good technique. Complete this, a constant motivation and the desire to continue to progress. The ambition of a Bordelaise who without noise was built as the seasons.

Originally from Cestas, in the suburbs of Bordeaux, she started playing football at a very young age at the age of six. She begins there until the age of 15 when she will join the club of Blanquefort. His mother Marie-Joëlle Cervera, treasurer of the club remembers the beginnings of his young daughter: "Since she knows how to walk, she had a ball in her hands. She followed her brothers. Every weekend she was on the edge of the field. The coach of her second brother had seen that she knew how to kick the ball and offered to run tournaments. It was important that she play sports. We have always been behind her. President Claude Caillol also completes "A very good player and a lovely girl. She was very good in Pupils (U14 today). With excellent qualities. As good as some boys. A very valiant girl. We are proud to have a player who plays in national D1.

One of his educators in Cestas, David Soubiran, remembers: "My first meeting with Laurianne was in 2000, while I was training the SAGC the youngest and I was going to see the young shoots that were going up, the chicks. Laurianne was the only girl! She already had a lot of character, even if she was shy, to impose herself in a world of boys. We could already detect certain qualities in this little blonde. When I had her as a player, for 3 years while the boys were only 2 years old, she never balked at working on her weak points, improving her strong points, except perhaps her left foot. I made her play attacking, she dribbled well and scored goals. There were 3 years with a lot of collective success, but especially personal in a football world that opened gently to the female. The boys did not give him a present. I followed his career with the players and leaders of the club, and his family, whether in Blanquefort or in the Midi-Pyrénées region. Off the field she was the girl, the teenager, but on the ground behind her smile was the fighter whom her partners enjoyed so much.

At the age of 15, she left Cestas and joined Blanquefort, club of the Bordeaux region then in D3. She made her debut at just 15 years old. In this club, she will stay four seasons. Amount in D2 in 2008. Harlem Zayar who played with her before becoming coach of the D2 team later recalls: "A player always smiling with a constant motivation that combined speed and vivacity. Player with a good control of the ball ... Technique what. She has always had ambition and was willing to invest a lot without fear to achieve her goals. "

Daniel Large who coached him for two seasons (from 2009 to 2011) also recalls: "When I came to the head of the Blanquefort team in D2, I immediately saw that she had real potential , a complete player, technical, lively, hard on impact. She was very young and had not been a priority the year before for the old staff and suddenly needed confidence to revive. Having always liked to have rear technical side, I first set the position of rear right side where it was immediately imposed by aligning the good performance with great regularity. I was then able to appreciate her versatility and at the discretion of the absences, she held several other positions (central defender, defensive midfielder, midfielder) with each station always very regular performances before becoming a staple defensive midfielder. She is a player very easy to manage, very nice, concerned about the collective and I was not surprised at her success in the different clubs where she played next. I am very happy to see the path she has traveled and I am sure she will continue to progress. "

The always young Laurianne joined the TFC and the D2 at 19 years old. A natural will that will be rewarded by a climb the following season in D1 at 20 years. A wise career choice for those who will discover the elite. Sylvain Delgado, physical trainer at the time remembers: "Laurianne is a player with a fine technique and with a good vision of play. It has been a pleasure to work with her, a hard-working, who fits into a collective and always with a smile. I am happy for her to see its evolution because it is a girl who deserves to succeed from his will.

Laurianne tasted the D1 for the first time with a full season and 17 starts. Unfortunately mixed with a sporting descent at the end of the season. She will suffer the same fate the season after with the promoted Muret who will also descend.

With three seasons in the elite, Laurianne remains in the region but joins the promoted Albigensian. And gradually manages to make its place in the starting lineup. David Welferinger who trained last season said: "A young woman always smiling who lives well in a group and who participates in the life of it especially in the locker room by exhorting the troops after a victory. Skillful technically, fat-minded and very clever in defense placement where she excels in positioning in the intervals, she still fires too much by poorly adjusted ball losses (she has a big margin of progression in this area) or an orientation too systematic game side reception of the ball. I like his "grinta" and his sense of combat on the field (quality that is usually lacking players). A lot of quality despite its lack of size. It is imperative that it develops its volume of play if it wants to take a step.

2015-2016 season, Laurianne starts her second season in Albi. In the skin of a holder with 10 games played including 9 tenures. And the desire to maintain Albi a second season in the elite. Laurianne who was also champion of France University Futsal 2014 with Paul Sabatier University of Toulouse. An important player for Sylvain Blaise, coach of this team: "Laurianne has been a driving force behind the University team since her arrival at Paul Sabatier, of which she is the captain this year. achieved for the first time in the football University doubled in futsal and football to 11 in 2014. Laurianne is always very invested and determined, and brings its technical qualities and vision of the game in the game project based on the circulation of the ball and the quality of play of our collective.Its selflessness, his football skills and his state of mind logically allow him to be an important part of his Albi team within the elite of French women's football ".

At 23, Laurianne still has a lot to build. With its "grinta" and its margin of progress, we bet that one day it can cross again levels. Endearing, smiling or persevering, we can only appreciate it on and off the field. So would be the words to qualify Laurianne Cervera today.
