Not for the first time, Raymond Domenech has left Robert Pires and David Trezeguet out of the France squad. He has stated that the reasons have been tactical. Pires publically spoke out in opposition of Domenech in 2004 for the manner in which four eyes ran the team. I believe his exclusion was due to more than just “organizational choices”.
During Domenech’s time as top man, Trezeguet has had a horrible run of bad form with Les Bleus or has been left out of the squad altogether. One can understand the exclusion of Pires for one of the younger, up and coming stars from the ever full Clairefontaine cupboard. Trezeguet on the other hand is continually cast aside if not brought in with reluctance when he has been included, even if he remains a deadly marksman at club level.
Here is a man who has excelled in Serie A, the most defensive league in football. He’s scored goals for fun at times. He's won the European Championship with a dramatic extra time goal. A goal that was set up by Pires! I admit neither have been as prolific for France – not nearly so. But to treat such important players the way Domenech has done is just wrong.
Robert Pires has been one of the most creative and productive players around.
In essence, Domenech has deprived me of seeing two of my favorite players perform on football’s biggest stages. Fuck him.
I’d like someone to show me proof that it wasn’t Zidane who actually ran the show in 2006. I can just see Domenech trying to explain himself while the players waited until he finished and then availed themselves of the wisdom of the great one.
Fuck Domenech! I don’t care if he has had a decent run with the national team. He’s a cont for shunting players who deserve far more respect than that bellend has given. Who the fuck does that cont think he is!?!?
Like Average Grant, your team’s success has little to do with your “leadership” Monsieur Domenech you fucking muppet.
Fuck off you bastard
