TREZEGUET BACK IN FRANCE SQUAD



David Trezeguet has been brought back into the France squad for the away matches against Slovakia and Slovakia 'A' next week.

Trezeguet was largely ignored by Les Bleus coach Raymond Domenech last season while the striker continued to ply his trade in Serie B with Juventus.

Juve are now back in Italy's top flight, and Trezeguet finds himself back in Domenech's plans once again.

With the French facing games against Slovakia 'A' in Senec on Tuesday and then the country's first team a day later in Trnava, Domenech has named an enlarged 35-man squad for the trip.

Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira, who have both not played for France since the 1-0 friendly defeat to Argentina on February 7, are back fit and are named in the squad.

Paris St Germain midfielder Jerome Rothen and Juventus centre-half Jean-Alain Boumsong return to the international fold after spells out of the reckoning, while inexperienced Arsenal trio Mathieu Flamini, Bacary Sagna and Abou Diaby also make the party.

Domenech insisted he had no qualms about picking Serie A players Trezeguet and Philippe Mexes despite them recently criticising their national-team boss for his allegations of match-fixing in Italian football.

He said: "I have selected them because my goal is for the France team to qualify (for Euro 2008) and they have the potential to make this happen.

"If it is necessary to talk to them, I will do it when the time comes, like professionals and reasonable people.

"Emotion has disappeared from my vocabulary. I will play the worst of individuals if he is useful to my team."

Squad: Sebastien Frey (Fiorentina), Mickael Landreau (Paris St Germain), Ulrich Rame (Bordeaux), Teddy Richert (Sochaux); Eric Abidal (Barcelona), Jean-Alain Boumsong (Juventus), Francois Clerc (Lyon), Patrice Evra (Manchester United), William Gallas (Arsenal), Gael Givet (Marseille), Philippe Mexes (Roma), Anthony Reveillere (Lyon), Bacary Sagna (Arsenal), Sebastien Squillaci (Lyon), Lilian Thuram (Barcelona), Jonathan Zebina (Juventus); Abou Diaby (Arsenal), Alou Diarra (Bordeaux), Lassana Diarra (Chelsea), Mathieu Flamini (Arsenal), Claude Makelele, Florent Malouda (both Chelsea), Rio Mavuba (Villarreal), Samir Nasri (Marseille), Franck Ribery (Bayern Munich), Jerome Rothen (Paris St Germain), Jeremy Toulalan (Lyon), Patrick Vieira (Internazionale); Nicolas Anelka (Bolton), Karim Benzema (Lyon), Jimmy Briand (Rennes), Djibril Cisse (Marseille), Thierry Henry (Barcelona), Frederic Piquionne (Monaco), David Trezeguet (Juventus).

Trezeguet And Mexes In Domenech's Massive Squad

David Trezeguet has been recalled to the France squad despite a recent outburst against Raymond Domenech.

Trezeguet had rapped Domenech for his comments on match-fixing and Italy, in what was a rather surprising comment from a player directed at his coach.

"I read what he [Domenech] said and my God I was annoyed," Trezeguet had said. "What a disgrace.

"By talking like that, Domenech has damaged the country of France and most of all the world of football. He talks for the sake of talking."

However, he has found a place in the 34-strong squad named by Domenech for next week's friendly against Slovakia.

Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira have also been named after only just returning from respective injuries.

"The goal of this is to come together, to reset our goals and to mobilize everyone in order to qualify for the Euro 2008," Domenech said.

France face Italy and Scotland in two crucial Euro 2008 qualifiers in September.

On the real I don’t understand what is domenech's problem. I'm not going to berate him but its totally unprofessional and childish. IMO he accomplishes nothing by his words/actions.

Along with that I think trez should keep his mouth shut on such matters and topics. I know it’s a personal thing in both ways for david cuz of the national team debacle a few months back and with our relegation but the smartest thing to do is stay silent and let domenech make an ass out of himself.

ffs don't relate this success to Secco and co, they did their mistakes and some good deals, but mistakes were more than right deals..

This success goes to this hard working team and mostly to Ranieri! Great start, sure this doesn't mean that we are back to what we were before, but it's going good so far, since the Trofeo TIM (or the previous one, can't remember the name now), even thou we lost those two games, but it showed a lot of positive thing there..

No one is relating the success to Secco, but he was mentioned on the fact that Huntelaar is not needed when you have Trezeguet. Do you agree on that?

sure we agree on that, but everyone is laughing for bashing secco from the first match, I still don't trust him (his abilities) and the rest of the board. This Anti-secco Pro-Moggi bullshit should end.

Back to topic. not bringing Huntelaar is not a mistake or any other forward, we are not in need of any other strikers, but sure it would have been sweet to replace Trez with Huntelaar, only because of Trezeguet's age, and not to forget Del piero's too, we need to find a replacement for them sooner than later, but like I said we can do more than enough for this season. And I still think Iaquinta was a wrong and unnecessary deal, but that doesn't mean he can't score 5 goals all the season :lol: (Damn you Vinman :D).

The only player we need is Cannavaro or anyone like his quality who can lead the defense, sure a playmaker would be super as well.
