Juste FONTAINE



(Born 1933)

Played in clubs AS Marrakesh "and" USM Casablanca (Morocco), "Nischa and Reims (France). In the years 1956-1960 held a 21 game for the national team of France.

In the late 1950′s Juste Fontaine was a great pair of forwards with Raymond Kopa. Together they played and the team of France, and in the club Rheims. " Kopa more to build, was preparing an attack, and Fontaine slaughter, with a lot. It could be exactly where Kopa gave unexpected for all passengers, and knew how to use the slightest opportunity to cause an accurate strike. However, Fontaine has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to act individually - a great starting speed allows him to be easily torn off by a guardian, a good technique - alone and at a high speed pass several defenders to be one on one with the goalkeeper.

This attack was dubbed the "fountain head" because of its French name and means literally - "Fountain". I "gush" score balls, he began very early, even in Morocco, where born.

Yunost Fontaine occurred in the last years of French rule in this country, yet the French feel good in Morocco. His father was the Inspector-General of the tobacco factory in Marrakesh - the ancient city, where once lived the Muslim rulers of North Africa.

His mother was Spanish, and therefore the future of the football star as a child are making in the Spanish manner - Justo.

Juste-Justo began playing football early and quickly turned to youth team club AC Marrakech. In 1950, Morocco became the champion in his age grade. As he забивал most of all, he immediately invited to a strong club of Casablanca. Curiously, this major port city in semnadtsatiletnego Juste initially was not flat, and he had to live on the stadium.

Soon the fame of the young scorer of Casablanca has reached the shores of France. In twenty years, he signed a contract with the club "Nice." In his first season Fontaine, along with a new team won the Cup of France, and in the spring of 1956, became the champion of the country.

That year was significant for Fontaine to the fact that for the first time his soccer path crossing with by Raymond Kopa, the truth, so far only symbolically: Fontaine invited in Reims "specifically in order to be replaced Kopa, who left in Madrid" Real " ;. But fate brought together the two attackers only in 1958 when the French national team preparing for World Cup 1958.

Fontaine made his debut in the national team two years earlier, just barely moving at Rheims.

" In Paris the French match with the national team of Hungary dvadtsatitrehletny striker left a good impression. However, in 1958, before the trip to Sweden, Fontaine has not yet been the main player of the national team, although both times in the year in the championship of France scored the most goals - 34, but "REIMS", largely because of its rapidity, and won the championship of France, and the Cup of the country.

Nevertheless, coach of Paul Nicholas is not particularly lamented Fontaine, preferring it to another player "Reims" - Rene Bliara. Now, few people remember that Fontaine, who became a sensation the world championship in 1958, with a core national team of France had been included simply because before the trip to Sweden Bliar was injured. Who knows, this will not happen, a brilliant attacking duo Fontaine - Kopa may not be a ...

Kopa went to the national team just won, along with "Real" Cup of the European champions, and in excellent shape. In the first practice matches Kopa and Fontaine worked so smoothly, as if played as a team for many years. In Sweden, they were unmatched pair, as if joking passing any protection.

In the first match of group tournament hail hit in the head gate of the national team of Paraguay.

The French won with the score 7:3, with Juste Fontaine made a Hat-trick. The second game, however, has been lost - the French team defeated Yugoslavia 2:3, but both goals in the gate Yugoslavs scored Fontaine. Then the French team won 2:1 in the Scottish national team. One goal was to account Fontaine, another - Kopa.

In chetvertfinalnom match with the Northern Ireland national team, which won the French, with the score 4:0, Fontaine, like in the game with Yugoslavia, made a double. The French attack of the game to game there were all the more powerful and coherent. Many have other team "trichromatic" to the highest global pedestal. Before the semi with the Brazilian national team from the French expect only victory.

But just in the first match of the bright twinkle semnadtsatiletnego star Pele. Prior to that he scored in the championship, only one goal, but the French held three. Brazilians have a strong, winning 5:2. Fontaine still managed to score one of the responses scored, bringing the total number of its goals in the Championship to 9. Record time was the Hungarian Sándor Kocsis, zabivshego Championship in 1954, 11 balls.

Fontaine surpassed him in the match for 3rd place with a team of Germany, with the poker.

The total expense was 6:3 in favor of the French national team. A Juste Fontaine, from 13 balls was the best scorer of the tournament, but at the same time and all the championships. His record so far and has remained unbroken.

Closest to him came in 1970, the German Gerd Muller with 10 balls. At the championship in 1974, clogging four more goals, Muller set another record - for the total number of animals slaughtered at the championships by one player. But should doubt that this record still belonged to Fontaine, bringing him to speak at the world championships at least once. Indeed, in 1958, he was only 25 years ...

After the Swedish world championship road Kopa and Fontaine once again crossed in 1959 when "Reims" again reached the final of European Champions Cup. Now they fought in different teams, because Kopa still playing for Real. " Success in the final match again accompanied madridtsam, win with the score 2:0. But in the same year Kopa returned from Spain in Rheims, and, together with a fountain, they were again excellent pair of attackers.

But to play them together, unfortunately, to be short: in March 1960 in a match against FC Sochaux-Montbéliard "Fontaine got a serious injury - a double leg fracture.

Six months Fontaine does not remove plaster, but not lost vivacity, hoping to fully recover. At the end of the year, he actually spent a few games, but in the beginning of 1961, broke the same leg again. After recovery, doctors categorically forbade him to re-enter the football field. Scorer ended a brilliant career, when he had not yet turned twenty-eight years.

But football is not resigned Fontaine, trying their strength in the coaching duties. At various times he led the club "Toulouse", "PSG", national teams of Spain and Morocco. After the failure of France team presentation at the world championships in 1966, occupy the last place in the group tournament, some time Fontaine was the coach of national team of his country, but has made great strides.
