An 84-page special issue. Midi Libre
Another Montpellier striker whose veins are powerfully irrigated by the blood of Africa. Born in 1988 in Villiers-le-Bel, in the suburbs of Paris, but of Ivorian origin, Marie-Laure Delie was a bit like Ibrahima Bakayoko. But with much more astonishing statistics.
123 goals for the French team
Trained at Clairefontaine, she arrived in Montpellier in 2009 after a season at Paris Saint-Germain. Her adaptation was all the quicker as she was called up to the French team as soon as she arrived at the club, on September 23, 2009, against Croatia. First selection and a first goal which announced 123 others in 65 selections for the Bleues. A remarkable ratio that will be enhanced by two 4th places in the World Cup and at the London Olympics in 2012, so close to immense happiness.

With 89 goals in 5 years and 134 matches in the Montpellier jersey, this attacker as skillful with her feet as with her head, will demonstrate an efficiency that will only lack a consecration. Her two finals of the Challenge de France will end in two failures.
“We wanted to win for Loulou”
In 2012, in the middle of the boys' coronation, she nevertheless saw herself bringing a feminine touch to Louis Nicollin's happiness before the final: “Montpellier is a family club that has done so much for women's football. It's good for Loulou to win a few titles for the girls and men. He sends us great messages before the match and we want to win for him.”
Because if Loulou loved women, they knew how to give it back to him.
