Hugo Lloris 's Life and Career Journey in Football "He was recruited by Tottenham Hotspur for a value of 10 million euros"

Hugo Hadrien Dominique Lloris or more familiarly called Hugo Lloris was born on December 26, 1986 in Nice, France. Lloris was born to Luc Lloris and Marie Lloris. He was born to a relatively rich family. His mother worked as a lawyer. While the father is a banker.

Lloris has a younger brother, Gautier, who currently plays as a center-back for French club OGC Nice.

Hugo's name itself is taken from a famous writer Victor Hugo. Both of his parents are known to really idolize this figure. Born into a wealthy family, Lloris had no thoughts of becoming a footballer.

As a child, he preferred to follow his family's favorite sport, tennis. Lloris played the sport until he was at least 13 years old before he actually entered the world of football.

Lloris started playing football at CEDAC (Center de Difusion et d'Action Culturelle). The place offers a variety of activities, including football. Early in his career, Lloris had played various positions. Starting from central midfield, attacking midfielder, before finally becoming a goalkeeper.

Since playing between the posts, Lloris has looked superior in that position and his performances have often impressed the coach.

Right in 1997, Lloris attracted the interest of French club, OGC Nice. At that time, he also received a recommendation from Dominique Baratelli to play at the club. He spent several years at the club's youth academy and became a goalkeeper for the U-17 team. There, Lloris won the 2003-07 edition of the Championnat Nationaux des 18 ans, a domestic league competition in France for players under the age of 18.

After being successful in the Nice youth team, Lloris then played for team B and took turns with Hilaire Munoz. In the team, Lloris played 12 games to be promoted to the first team.

Lloris was promoted to the first team before the 2005/06 season and wore the number 1. At that time, he was appointed by manager Frederic Antonetti as a goalkeeper. Lloris made his debut at the age of 18 in a match against Chateauroux. Thanks to his good performance, Nice won 2-0.

In the league itself, Lloris made his debut on March 18, 2006 against Nancy. In that season, Lloris made six appearances. Considered to have great potential, Lloris then managed to break into the first team.

While being part of Nice's first team, Lloris missed only one match. He recorded 13 clean sheets and took Nice to 16th position. Although not very good, Nice became the best team defensive by finishing fifth. Lloris has conceded as many as 36 goals. He only lost to Gregory Coupet, Cedric Carrasso and Ulrich Rame who conceded less.

At the start of the 2007/08 season, Lloris suffered a ligament injury in his left knee. After a long comeback from injury, Lloris featured for 71 minutes against Le Mans. He was replaced because his injury recurred.

Lloris had to be out of action for approximately six weeks before finally appearing in the match against Paris Saint Germain where Nice won 2-1. In the remainder of the season, Lloris managed to bring Nice to the perch in position 8. Of the 30 appearances, he only conceded 24 times, and recorded 13 clean sheets. He contributed greatly to the club and was the target of big European clubs.

After living good times with Nice, Lloris finally joined Lyon. He was wanted by the Lyon management to replace Gregory Coupet.

At that time, Milan was also interested in Lloris. The Italian club wants to bring him to the city of Fashion to replace Dida. But in the end, it was Lyon who got his services.

At a cost of 8 million euros, Lloris finally got the number 1 jersey at Lyon.

Lloris made his Lyon debut against Toulouse. Lyon won 3-0 and provided Lloris's first clean sheet. In the next three matches, Lloris also kept a clean sheet. Although Lyon lost their first title after seven years of domination, Lloris remains the league's best goalkeeper. He was included in the list of the best Ligue One players in his first season with Lyon.

In the 2009/10 season, Lloris remained the main goalkeeper and opened the season with four clean sheets in eight games. For his performance in September, he was awarded the UNFP Player of the Month award. Lloris is also listed as the first goalkeeper since Steve Mandanda to win the award in August 2008.

In that season, Lloris appeared so consistently. His appearance in the European Champions League competition also deserves thumbs up. The most memorable thing, he appeared so extraordinary against Liverpool. Lloris fought off the Reds' attacks several times, which at that time was filled by players such as Fernando Torres, Dirk Kuyt and Andriy Voronin.

n the 2010/11 season, Lloris played his final year with Lyon. He felt frustrated after failing to present the league title for the team.

Finally, in the 2012/13 season, Lloris arrived in the Premier League competition. He was recruited by Tottenham Hotspur for a value of 10 million euros.

During his years playing for Tottenham, Lloris's game has only increased. Until 2015, Lloris was confirmed to be the Spurs' first captain, while Jan Vertonghen and Harry Kane became vice captains.

He won the trust of manager Mauricio Pochettino who considered him a true leader. In the previous season, Lloris was also often appointed as captain after main captain Younes Kaboul was often placed on the bench until he decided to leave Sunderland.

Even though he has not yet received a trophy at Tottenham, Lloris's glory still attracts the attention of the French national team coach to call him to the rooster squad.

He appeared in several major titles including the 2010, 2014 and 2018 World Cups. In Europe, he appeared at the 2012 and 2016 European Cups.

At the 2018 World Cup, Lloris became an important part of the French national team who successfully won their second crown in the championship.

Until now, Lloris is still an important part of the club from North London. The potential and quality are still needed by the club to be able to win a prestigious trophy.
