Sylvie Baracat

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sylvie Baracat (born February 20, 1965 in Paris ) is a French soccer player . In her adult career she only played for one club, VGA Saint-Maur , with which she became six-time French champion and which she subsequently coached .

Club career

About the first seventeen years of Sylvie Baracat's life, apart from the information that she played football for the Association Sportive et Gymnique Bagnolet from 1978 to 1982 , nothing is known so far, especially since the early days of women's football , which was only legalized by the French football association FFF in 1970, also mean middle which is by no means sufficiently documented in the 2010s. What is certain, however, is that the defender was in the final of the national championship with La Vie au Grand Air Saint-Maur in June 1983 , in which the players from the eastern Paris region prevailed on penalties against FCF Hénin-Beaumont . From then on, under its coach Dominique Tedeschi , VGA developed into the dominant womanhood in France, and Sylvie Baracat, who also became a national player in 1983 (see below) , was not only "one of the pillars of this 'dream team'", she stood until 1991 in all championship finals that Saint-Maurs women reached.

In 1984 they had to admit defeat to ASJ Soyaux , but from the next season (1984/85) VGA Saint-Maur won four championship titles in a row, and another followed in 1990 . Apart from Sylvie Baracat, only her long-term defensive partner Marie-Agnès Annequin , goalkeeper Sandrine Roux and Martine Puentes were used in all six won finals - these four also in the two lost - finals, Élisabeth Loisel and Régine Mismacq each in five and Nicole Abar in four. However , the women from Saint-Maur-des-Fossés could not win a national cup because this competition was only introduced in France in 2001.

Baracat also played in Saint-Maur's last final in 1991, but FC Lyon won it, and she continued to belong to this womanhood after the championship was held in a uniform top division from 1992 , the Championnat National 1 A - but then as coach of the league eleven. At this point in time, Saint-Maur's women had already lost their sporting supremacy, finishing the seasons only third, eighth and - after Baracat's retirement in 1994 - twice seventh in the final table.

Nowadays (2014) Sylvie Baracat still lives on the eastern edge of the capital in Bagnolet .

In the national team

For the first time, national coach Francis Coché considered Sylvie Baracat in April 1983 in a game against Italy in the French national team , which was one of the group matches of the quarter-finals of the first women's European championship and in which France lost 3-0. By May 1986 she was used in four more matches, but she became the undisputed regular player at the Bleues only from 1987 under Coché's successor Aimé Mignot , where she only played one game in the 1989 calendar year.

By October 1991 - her last international game against Denmark also ended in a defeat (1: 4) - Sylvie Baracat had a total of 26 senior internationals; the defender scored her only goal in this circle in November 1987 in a 5-0 victory in a qualifying match for the 1989 European Women's Championship against Bulgaria . Baracat wore the blue jersey against the USA , China and Japan , among others , but never against a national team from one of the German-speaking countries - not even against the Swiss , one of the most common opponents in French international match history.
