Portrait de cet ancien bon joueur des années 1990, dont la carrière de technicien a véritablement décollé au Gazélec d’Ajaccio. Avant de plonger dans le vif du sujet, livrons nous à une petite rétrospective quant au passé de joueur professionnel des derniers entraîneurs du Racing. Avec 348 matchs de première division, Thierry Laurey évolue dans les mêmes sphères que Laurent Fournier (376 matchs), mais à distance respectable d’Yvon Pouliquen (423) et René Girard (442) – pour information, Jacky Duguépéroux en a disputé 295, Antoine Kombouaré 300, Claude Le Roy 230 et Jean-Marc Furlan 274. A l’instar de Girard et Fournier, Thierry Laurey fut un milieu défensif durant de longues saisons de D1, et il connut une récompense en étant appelé en Equipe de France. Nous sommes en mars 1989 : Michel Platini vient d’être bombardé à la tête d’une équipe dans le creux de la vague, qui venait toucher le fond à Chypre fin octobre. C’est une période d’essais : comme son partenaire à Sochaux Franck Silvestre, comme ses anciens acolytes montpelliérains Laurent Blanc et Christian Perez, Laurey est appelé à débuter avec les Bleus.

    Master’s Degree in Languages, Economics and Institutions of Asia and North Africa Final Thesis Football condition in China: the case of naturalized players Supervisor Ch. Prof. Renzo Riccardo Cavalieri Graduand Emanuele Salvati Matriculation number 868763 Academic Year 2019 / 2020 Abstract The focus of this thesis is the recent naturalization of foreign players in China, that led to the debut of the first football player without Chinese ancestry in the Chinese national team. The first chapter is an introduction to the naturalization in football in all its aspects. I will first clarify concepts such as nation, nationality, and citizenship. Then I will analyze the evolution of the regulations on eligibility, starting from the case of Italy in the thirties to arrive to the modern FIFA eligibility rules. In the second chapter, I will focus on the Chinese football condition. Starting with an overview of football history in the country, from the very first form of the game passing through the professionalization in the nineties to arrive at the recent years in which the Chinese Super League (CSL) developed very rapidly. The focus of the chapter is the relationship between Chinese authorities, football clubs and players and the reforms Chinese government is doing to reduce the gap with European football, trying to improve both CSL clubs and national team level. These reforms aim to turn China into a world elite competitor by 2050 mainly through promotion of football at the grassroots level and league development. The third chapter reviews the process of naturalization of foreign players that is now a widespread argument in the Chinese football circle, investigating reasons, advantages and drawbacks.
