Club career [ edit ]

In 1979, after two seasons at Rouen, the first of which resulted in relegation to the Division 2 , Barberat joined Division 3 side Chatellerault . ^[2] After merely a season there, he joined Quimper , who were playing in the Division 2. In 1983, he joined Ales . ^[2] His former club PSG notably tried to bring him back to the club during his spell at the club; however, the transfer fell through. ^[3] Barberat would continue his career at Cannes in 1986, where he would notably score the decisive goal for promotion to the Division 1 in a 2?0 win over Sochaux on 13 June 1987. ^[4] He joined Istres in 1989, his final club before retiring in 1991. ^[1]

International career [ edit ]

Player profile [ edit ]

Across his career, Barberat played in several different positions. Although Pierre Alonzo , former head of the youth academy at PSG , placed him in defense, ^[4] he began his career as a forward . He had a play style similar to the one of Gerd Muller , according to himself, before being converted to a winger . He initially played on the right, and then on the left afterwards, as he was a good player with both feet. ^[3] Later, he was converted to a defensive midfielder , where he was able to "start a new career", notably at Ales. Barberat had a "good technical base", according to himself. ^[3] He also played as a full-back during his career. ^[1]

After retiring from football, Barberat became a real estate agent . He worked in this job from 1991 to 1998. ^[1] In 1998, he became a football agent , managing the Grasse -based company SARL B.D. Sports & Consulting. ^[4] The company is based in France but also operates in England and Italy. ^[5]
