After graduating from high school, he returned home and gradually became an excellent professional player. The first famous player in French football history is Laurent who scored the first goal in the first World Cup. But to say that France's first great star, or the first gold medal player, it is Fontaine. He has maintained the highest number of goals in a single world cup (13), which he created in 1958 Sweden world cup.

Early experience

Juster Fontaine was born on August 18, 1933 in Marrakech, Morocco, a French family. Fang Dan's father emigrated from France in his early years and became an expatriate in Morocco.

Fondan has loved football since he was a child. When he was a child, he often played football in the streets and open spaces of Morocco with his little friends. After a long time, he had the idea of becoming an excellent player. After graduating from high school, Fang Dan plans to return to France and decides to give up his studies and play football wholeheartedly.

In 1953, Fontaine joined the French club nice, where he received systematic training. Whether it is personal skills or physical fitness, whether it is off-site practice or on-site competition, his football level has made great progress and soon became the main force of the team. A year later, Fontaine helped the club win the French National League.

In 1955, Fontaine moved to France's richest club, Lance. In this club, Fang Dan was able to give full play to his football talent and set up the image of an excellent center. He won two national leagues (1958, 1960) and two European Champions League runners up (1956, 1959) for Lance.

The characteristics of Fangdan are very prominent. He is skillful, quick in action, skillful in controlling the ball, fast in speed, strong in breakthrough ability, decisive and accurate in shooting, especially good at long-range shooting. He often shoots furiously from 20 meters away, scoring goals, and has the power of penetrating every step.

success

In 1958, Fontaine participated in the Sweden world cup on behalf of the French team, got training and proved his unusual strength. In this world cup, Fang Dan's shooting "magic" showed its magic power. In the first match against Uruguay, Fontaine scored three goals alone and France won 7-3. Although they lost to Yugoslavia in the second game, France beat Scotland 2-1. In the second round, France defeated Northern Ireland 4:0, and Fontaine scored two goals alone. In the semi-final, France met Brazil, which had a strong momentum. At that time, Brazil had super class stars such as galincha, Pele, Didi, Wawa and zagalo, with a luxurious and unstoppable lineup. Fang Dan and his teammates are not timid in front of the strong enemy, but the whole match with Brazil. Although Fang Dan and his teammate Antony scored one goal each, they failed to win and lost 2-5. In the competition for the third place with West Germany, Fontaine was on the offensive, scoring four times, and the French team won 6:3. With 13 goals, he went down in history and became a world-class star and a hero in the eyes of the French. In 1998, 40 years later, the French team became an unstoppable super first-class team, won the championship bravely and realized Fang Dan's dream.

Fang Dan won the title of best shooter without dispute with 13 goals in this cup, and also set the highest goal record in a single world cup. Fang Dan's outstanding contribution created the first heyday in the history of French football.

After a brief resplendence, French football began to go downhill in 1960. Many famous players chose to go abroad for gold instead of playing at home. They left the promising domestic green field. In this case, Fontaine was alone. Without good team-mates to cooperate with him, his skills began to decline, and Fontaine gradually became less noticeable.

The house leaks when it rains. This year, Fang Dan suffered two leg fractures in the competition, which was unbearable. As a result of many years of battle, Fang Dan left a lot of pain. He is like an eagle with broken wings, which is hard to fly in the blue sky. He couldn't bear to let the fans see that he was unable to recover from the injury. Finally, in 1966, when he was 33 years old, he hung up his boots and bid farewell to the green field.

After retiring, Fontaine did not leave his beloved football. Like many stars, he began his coaching career. In 1967, he once served as the coach of the French national team for a short time. Later, he was employed as the head coach of the national team in Morocco, where he was born, to help Morocco develop its football career. Under his guidance, the Moroccan national team won the third place in the African Football Championship, and the whole country was elated. In 1982, Morocco was eliminated by Cameroon in the World Cup qualifier, but Fontaine's ambition failed. Although the Moroccans understood his passion and enthusiasm, and fully affirmed his achievements, Fang Dan gave up his teaching and went back to business.

Sports career

Morocco becomes famous

Fontaine was born on August 18, 1933, but he was not born in France, but in Morocco. His father was from the north of France, his mother was Spanish, and Fontaine had four brothers and two sisters. When he was young, Fang Dan's father hoped that Fang Dan could learn how to use machinery, how to play basketball, and how to practice track and field. But Fontaine became addicted to football, joined the local marakosh team in Morocco, and won the National Junior Football Championship in the first year. Fondant then moved to Casablanca and became Morocco's top scorer. At the age of 20, Fontaine went to France.

French double champion

In France, Fontaine first joined nice and quickly won the cup, followed by the league championship. After that, Fontaine moved to lance, where he was twice the top scorer in the league. The double title in the domestic league gave Fontaine the chance to be selected into the national team, while the 1958 Swedish world cup provided Fontaine with a bigger stage to perform.

The most goals in a single world cup

Fontaine's brilliant performance in this world cup has made him the idol of French descendants such as Platini and Zidane. The reason why these later masters can worship is that Fontaine has set a goal record in the history of the world cup. He scored a total of 13 goals, almost every game to keep the goal, and he also gave two penalty opportunities to others.

Super shooter starlight

In the 7:3 victory over Paraguay, Fontaine scored a hat trick; in the 2:3 defeat to Yugoslavia, Fontaine scored twice; in the 2:1 defeat to Scotland, Fontaine scored a goal. In the quarter final of 4:0 in Northern Ireland, Fontaine scored twice again; in the semi-final of 2:5 in Brazil, Fontaine scored the same goal; in the final of 3-4 with Germany, Fontaine showed great power and scored four goals in one breath, France won 6:3 over Germany.

Brilliant in the world cup

Coincidentally, Fontaine's jersey number is exactly 13, which is also regarded as a lucky number. Interestingly, Fang Dan, who had only been selected for the national team four times before, was sent on by coach Nicholas because of the injury of his teammate Billy De. In addition, Fang Dan's shoes for the world cup were borrowed temporarily. After scoring 13 goals, Fang Dan returned the shoes to his teammate buluyi.

Face to face with the king

The world cup top scorer is now crowned by Klose. The former world cup top scorer Mueller's 14 goals are only the sum of the two World Cup goals, and Pele's only 12 goals. If we count the single world cup top scorer, then Fang Dan is responsible. On June 24, 1958, in the semi-final of the world cup, Pele's Brazil and Fontaine's France started a white-edged battle. Pele, who is behind Fang Dan in the number of goals, smashed Fang Dan's dream of reaching the final in this game and overtook one of Fang Dan's goals with three goals. After the game, Pele, 17, became Brazil's new hero.

A generation of genius call to the curtain

After the world cup, Fontaine's good luck came to an end. But in 1960, Fontaine scored 29 and 30 goals against Chile. Four days later, on March 20, the 27 year old Fontaine broke his tibia for the first time in the League against Sochaux, and he was injured for 10 months. After recovery, he hurt his tibia again. Fang Dan, 28, announced his early retirement after a long period of incurability.

400 goals in 450 games

So far, Fontaine's goal record in France's national team career is 30 goals in 21 games. In the club's career, 1959-1962 is the most glorious period for Fontaine, among which the final of the Champions League with Real Madrid in 1959 is the most prosperous. With a height of 1.72 meters and a weight of 73 kg, the black haired Fang Dan has played 450 games for his teams and scored more than 400 goals.

France's best player in 50 years

After retiring, Fang Danxian became the president of the French players' League, and briefly coached the Toulouse team and the French national team. Since then, he has been running his sports equipment store in tulus. At the UEFA celebration in February 2005, Fontaine was named France's best player for 50 years. When receiving the award, Fontaine said modestly: "no matter what I have achieved, I have the credit of Coppa. It's this friend who makes me not timid any more. He always passes the ball for me selflessly. That's why I score goals
