Scored Krakowski and Dzoff: Memorial about Bernard Lacobub

The news from France, where at the age of 72, the legendary scorer Bernard Lacob went away, immersed in the memoirs of the football in the 1980s. The French national team at the time did not represent a car like the 1998-2000 team or 2018. France in the 1980s is a football romance (dressed in Brazilians, the most romantic team, how many memory reached!), Which was prevailed by a fancy midfield, which was aesthetic pleasure. Bernard Lacombus in that team was a little older than Michelle Platini, Dominic Roshto or Jean Tigan and was not in the tap to the tap of the neutral foreign public. Why? The fact is that Bernard’s scoring records beat in the national championship, which was not already untwisted at the time: in general, historically, it is historically the second bombard of the French championship, and the first among the French. Most European fans were able to watch Laomb’s game in clubs only during the European Cups. We also had the opportunity, because for the Dnipro a fundamental foreign rival in the 1980s became Bordeaux. And Lacomb (after a fairly successful career in Lyon in the late 1970s, he filled the ranks of the Bordeaux club) in the quarterfinal cubic-tumor battle with our club in Bordeaux in Bordeaux a meeting in the debut itself (it is noticeable on the back of the program. Taking the ball to the right foot, the attacker broke away from the Dnieper’s central defenders and, despite the fall, transferred the ball to the left and kissed the goal. As for me, this goal is best characterized by a lucky attacker: not to ask for a penalty after falling in the penalty area (and, despite our sympathy for the Dnieper, it should be acknowledged that the forward deflections have been touched), and to go to the end of their chance. However, after 10 minutes, Labombs demonstrated that a penalty could earn: Sergey Puchkov did not hold a formidable attacker and was forced to fold in the penalty area (our defender had reasons, as it turned out, because a punch from a penalty performed by Muller’s Dripper Driver).

That Bordeaux was indeed a powerful team, but in the Europeanaire at that time he stopped twice at the semifinal stage of the European Cups and did not know the taste of Eurospich. It was compensated by the successes in the domestic arena: two championships and two national cups in the mid-1980s. By the way, in the first semi-final match of the Champions Cup in the season-1984/85 “Bordeaux”-“Juventus” at the end of the meeting there was a demonstrative episode associated with Lycomboy. In the 83rd minute, leading 2-0, the borders tried to score more, not the time. And in one of the episodes, Lucleo, Luciano Faavero, who prevented the ball quickly in the game in one of the episodes. For this, both of the arguments were warned. Imagine: lead before 2: 0 in the semifinals with “Juve” and hurry to score more! However, it became clear later that Bordeaux and Lacobub were right in particular, because in Turin, Giovanni Trapathon’s wards scored three goals unanswered at the French Club’s goal and reached the finals.

The best match for the national team – a friendly game on the departure against the US national team in 1979. Trikolorov was then truded on the friendly defense of the staff. The attacker then issued a hat-trick for up to 37 minutes: first it was not proportional to the left, using the mistake of the Cethdef, and in the future was skilled on the extraction, twice directing the ball to the grid with the right foot, finding itself in the right place at the right time. At the Mundial-78, I was remembered by a goal of the Lacombus to the Italians: in the 1st minute of the match Didier Sicks from the left flank, and a powerful blow to Bernard’s head-without the chances for Dino Dzoff. The Frenchman was eventually honored with Seiko’s prize-a gold watch worth $ 2,000 for the fastest goal: 38 second!

Maybe a paradox, but with medals of the world (bronze for 4th place in 1982) and European (Gold for Triumph on Home Euro-84) Championships, by and large, can not bring those tournaments to its asset. It did not turn out to score goals on them. At the Mundial-82 at the beginning of the 3rd game-against Austria-Bernard was injured, and already in the 15th minute, Dominic Roshto was released instead. More on that tournament, the Central Forward did not play.

Yes, at the EURO-84 Lacombus silent as a Goleador. However, he paid attention to the episode that few people said. Many people remember the penalty of Michel Platini and the first goal of the French in that finale because of the mistake of Spanish Kiper Luis Arkadeada. However, for some reason, no one pays attention to the fact that the dangerous penalty was earned by a true laborer Lacomb. The defender of the Spaniards Salva was not able to cope with the annoying forward, and the judge from the then Czechoslovakia, the Wojciech of Christ, appointed a penalty, which, after all, largely caused the French.

leprogres.fr. Bernard Lacomb (with a ball) The closest friend of Labomb from that team was the Bordeaux College of Bordeaux. For 10 years they were settled in one room in hotels.

Zhres, having heard the news of the death of an ancient friend, did not hide despair: “I would say that it is more than sadness, it’s part of me. Bernard is more than just a teammate, a friend at a sports and family level, he was all, we always maintained communication. We had a affinity in everything we could think about and what to imagine. If you talk about a lacob-player, I had a special relationship with him, a common commitment to the game. Everything was simple with a striker like Bernard: he understood football and we spoke the same language. He was real, passionate and always shared his passion. He was an attacker who thought of others, not selfish. Now we rarely see it. Nevertheless, he scored the goal behind the goal. Wonderful, technical, altruistic and accurate player. It is difficult to compare it with the players of today. Bernard was such an attacker who forced others to play. Playing with him was a real pleasure! ”.

And Michelle Platini called Laomb neither a lot nor a “monument to French football”. Is it possible to call the Lacobub a system-forming player of Michelle Idalgo team in the 1980s? I will answer this: in that team the system was created by everyone. British football tactic researcher Jonathan Wilson believes that Michelle Idalgo’s task was to find a proper balance between creativity (and the average football fan appreciated, first and foremost, it!) And structure. And Labomb was one of those players who helped to find such a balance. Altruistic forward – what can be better for this task! Light memory, champion!
