Charly Loubet

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles "Charly" Loubet (born January 26, 1946 in Grasse ) is a former French football player .

Club career

The nimble, two-footed striker , who occasionally seemed disinterested in the game, but always lurking for the ball and then often irresistibly wandering away, began as a child at the Gallia Club de Grasse and at the end of 1957 switched to the youth school at AS Cannes . Already at the age of sixteen and a half, in the 1961/62 season, the capital club Stade Français picked him up and used him in a division 1 game ; Charly Loubet married at the age of 20 and became a national player at the age of 21 - "a friend of good wines and attractive women ... lost no time in growing up" . After two midfield positions with the capital club, he moved back to the Côte d'Azur in 1963 , where he played for OGC Nice in the next six seasons , and stayed there when the club played in the second division for a year in 1964/65 . His most successful season with the Aiglons - "young eagle" is a common name for the players of the OGC - was 1967/68, in which Nice was runner-up and he himself appeared for the first time among the 15 best league hunters . A year later, however, the Aiglons were relegated again and Loubet moved to the neighboring Olympique Marseille .

In a team that was equally strong in defense ( Jean Djorkaeff , Novi ) and attack ( Skoblar , Yegba Maya , Magnusson , Couécou , Bonnel ) and whose coach Mario Zatelli preferred a very offensive tactic , he was second in the league in 1969/70 and a year later even won the championship title with Olympique. He scored numerous goals himself: in 1970 (with 17 hits) 7th place in the top scorer list, in 1971 12th with 14 hits. In the championship year 1971, Marseille also narrowly missed the final of the national cup when OM only had to admit defeat to eventual cup winner Stade Rennais UC on penalties - a déjà vu for Charly Loubet because he played against the same opponent in 1965 (then in the quarter-finals) had already been eliminated, who had subsequently also won the competition. In one of Olympique's early international highlights, the 2-0 aet against Dukla Prague in the 1969/70 European Cup Winners' Cup , the attacker played the leading role when his two goals helped the club into the next round. There, too, against Dinamo Zagreb , he hit the opposing goal; but this time that was not enough for advancement.

Because he had fallen out with Marseille's autocratic President Marcel Leclerc , who criticized him particularly often and even occasionally asked the coach to replace him, Loubet bought himself out of his four-year contract in 1971 despite his success there and returned to OGC Nice. There, too, he overcame the opposing goalkeepers on a regular basis, storming alongside goalscorer Hervé Revelli . In the following four years he played with the Aiglons mostly in the highest table region and was runner-up again in 1973 before he withdrew to his youth club, AS Cannes, in 1975, even though he was only used there in Division 2 . Cannes always played a good role in it, but as table 3, -4. or -5. it was never enough for promotion in the two-part league. In 1981, Charly Loubet hung up his soccer boots and then worked in various functions at AS Cannes, and for a short time in the early 1980s as a coach.

In the national team

Between March 1967 (against Romania ) and May 1974 (against Argentina ) Charly Loubet played a total of 36 full international matches for France and also scored 10 goals in this circle. He belonged to three national coaches ( Just Fontaine , Louis Dugauguez and Georges Boulogne ) to the main formation of the Équipe tricolore and proved himself there both as a left and right winger, but was also set up as a half-forward. However, he never took part in one of the major international tournaments because the French team could not qualify for a single final round ( EM 1968 and 1972 , World Cup 1970 and 1974 ) during these years .
