Paul Bernardoni

Early career

Bernardoni started playing football at the nearby club of AS Lieusaint at the age of 8, where he stayed for 6 years, before moving up to Linas-Montlhéry.

Troyes

2013–14 season

After 2 years at Linas-Montlhéry, Bernardoni finally left the Île-de-France and moved to Troyes, where he quickly made his way to the starting line-up of the club's U19 team. His performances also earned him a spot in the reserve team, thus he ended up playing in both the Championnat National U19 and the Championnat de France Amateur 2. Bernardoni's performances also earned him a call-up for U17 national team. His debut in France's fifth division came, following his performance at the European U-17 elite round, on 5 April 2014, against Pontarlier for the league's 21st matchday; the game ended 1-1. Bernardoni's first clean sheet for the team came in the next game, against Schiltigheim, and he played for the remaining 4 games of the season, with Troyes' reserves finishing 2nd, earning promotion to the Championnat de France Amateur. The U19 team finished 8th in their respective league. In July he signed his first 3-year professional contract, until the end of the 2016–17 season, with coach Jean-Marc Furlan citing his status as an international.

Under-17 national team

Bernardoni's first call-up came thanks to his performances with Troyes' U19 team during the 2013–14 season. As the France national under-17 football team played through the qualifying round of the 2014 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in October 2013, Bernardoni was called up by Laurent Guyot, alongside Rennes' Romain Cagnon. He played all 3 of the team's matches, as France beat Liechtenstein 2–0 on 22 October and the Czech Republic 3–0 on the 27th, earning Bernardoni his first national team clean sheets, having drawn 2–2 with hosts Israel on the 24th. France finished 1st in Group 2, and thus qualified for the next round. The elite round was held in March 2014, and Bernardoni was again called up. Once more, he would play all 3 games, as France beat Sweden 3-0 and Austria 2–1, but qualification to the final phase of the tournament was lost to the Netherlands, hosts of Group 3, who beat France 3–1.

Under-18 national team

Bernardoni's "graduation" to the reserve team couldn't be paired with a similar "graduation" to the under-19 team, and he had to go through the transitional France national under-18 football team, where he'd play 5 friendly games.

Under-19 national team

As a Ligue 1 player, Bernardoni was one of the favourites to be called up by Ludovic Batelli, as the France national under-19 football team played through the 2016 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualification. This was confirmed and Bernardoni was…
