Celine Marty

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Celine Marty (born March 30, 1976 in Toulouse ) is a former French football player .

Club career

Celine Marty came to the Olympique Aérospatial Club in her native city at the age of 16 from a small amateur club . When its first women's eleven rose to the highest French league , the Championnat National 1 A , in 1994 , the goalkeeper was soon the undisputed number one and won the runner-up in the first season . The TOAC took this second place again two years later, and Marty even became a national player at this point (see below) . From the 1998/99 season , the team from Toulouse finally dominated the league, becoming champions three times in a row and was able to regularly rely on the goalkeeper and her front men, who had to accept the fewest goals against all participants. Dominique Geminiano , Sabrina Viguier and Élodie Woock were among the strongest defensive players of these years ; from 1999 onwards, Celine Marty's sister Géraldine , who was seven years younger than her, was part of the TOAC's first division squad - also as a goalkeeper.

In 2001, after winning the third league title, the women's football department of the Olympique Aérospatial Club joined the city's “big club”, Toulouse FC , and almost the entire team took this step. It was therefore not surprising to the professional world that the well-rehearsed women won the trophy again in 2002 under a new name. In addition, they won the national cup competition , which was held for the first time in 2001/02 , with which the players also won the first doublé in women's football history in France. The eleven even had a third iron in the fire during this successful long time: in the also newly created European Cup of national champions , they only lost in the semifinals after two close games (1: 2 and 0: 0) against the eventual winner 1. FFC Frankfurt out.

At the end of the following two national scoring rounds , the leader of the league, which had meanwhile been renamed Division 1 Féminine (and partially professionalized), was also called TFC; however, there was a final championship round of the four best teams at the time, and the front runners only finished fourth. In 2002/03 it was only enough to make it to the quarter-finals at European level. In Celine Marty's last year (2004/05), her eleven even finished fifth in the league, and the 29-year-old left the big football stage in Toulouse after 13 years to complete two seasons at a lower-class club.

In the national team

Between May 1997 and September 2003, Celine Marty was in the goal of the national team in 40 international matches , although she was only used in six games up to and including 1999. In her debut, a friendly against Ireland , she did not concede. At first there was no getting past the "goalkeeper legend" Sandrine Roux , even if Marty was part of the 1997 French European Championship squad . From 2000 national coach Élisabeth Loisel regularly included her in the starting line-up, and she seemed to be number one at the 2001 European Championship , but during the three French finals in Germany it was Corinne Lagache and not Marty who guarded the goal of the bleues .

After the European Championship preliminary round, she returned to goal and played, among other things, nine of the ten [[Women's World Cup 2003 / Qualification # UEFA Relegation Games Class A} | Qualifying Games]] for the 2003 World Cup, including the two decisive 1-0 Victories against England in which it was comparatively seldom challenged. At the 2003 World Cup finals in the USA , she was on the field for a full 90 minutes in all three preliminary round matches (0-2 against Norway , 1-0 against South Korea and 1-1 against Brazil ). The Brazil game not only meant France's premature end when it first played in the World Cup, it was also Celine Marty's last international match.
During her international career she also played against the national teams of the German-speaking countries. She met the Swiss women three times (1999, 2001 and 2002) and once each against Austria (1999, 4-1 victory) and Germany , against which France's women celebrated their first win (1-0) in an international match in April 2003 could.
