Sorry for the double post, but Rebels post here implies that the Napoli game may be postponed. If so, when will it be re-arranged for, and will Trez's suspension be up by then?

«Da quando sono in Italia - raccontò una volta David Trezeguet - ho imparato che bisogna riflettere molto, prima di parlare». Ha fatto così anche stavolta, nonostante lo stupore, e la delusione, per la mancata convocazione della Nazionale francese fosse una botta improvvisa. Ci ha pensato due giorni poi, ieri, ha aperto le virgolette, spazzando via le ipocrisie, come al solito. «Con Raymond Domenech - ha detto l’attaccante della Juve, riferendosi al commissario tecnico dei «Blues» - non c’è stato alcun accordo per la mancata convocazione. Non abbiamo avuto un colloquio. Nessuna telefonata».

Più che arrabbiato, Trezeguet è stupito, deluso: sa bene che sulla decisione di Domenech ha pesato la serie B della Juve, così come ha influito sulle ambizioni degli altri bianconeri francesi, Zebina e Boumsong. Che non sarebbe andato in Nazionale, David l’ha saputo solo giovedì pomeriggio, il giorno in cui è uscita la lista delle convocazioni per la partita di qualificazione agli Europei del 2008 contro la Lituania e per l’amichevole contro l’Austria. Si è trovato un messaggio in segreteria, nel quale Domenech gli annunciava che non lo avrebbe chiamato: meglio, prima, si dedicasse alla Juve, per tornare ai massimi livelli. Quelle parole sono stato l’unico contatto. Lo stesso giorno, invece, è uscita una ricostruzione che citava una telefonata fra il giocatore e il tecnico, e relativo accordo. «Non è così», ha chiarito Trezeguet, che pure, come dieci anni fa, quando esordì con la Francia, ci tiene parecchio a giocare con la maglia della Nazionale: «Certo che spero di giocare gli Europei del 2008, ma se sono penalizzato rispetto ad altri perché la Juve gioca in B, dovrò puntare tutto sul prossimo anno». Probabile, visto che sull’Equipe, Domenech aveva così motivato l’esclusione del centravanti bianconero: «David sta attraversando un periodo un po’ difficile, voglio lasciargli il tempo e risparmiarlo per far sì che ritrovi la serie A con il suo club. A quel punto sarà più sereno e di nuovo al massimo». Se la strada del ragionamento è questa, Trezeguet fa un po’ fatica a camminarci sopra: «Penso di meritarmi rispetto - ha aggiunto con tono pacato - così come lo meritano i miei compagni e la Juve». Se poi quest'amarezza finirà sulla bilancia delle decisioni, a fine anno, si vedrà. Certo non aiuta a solleva l’umore stagionale.

Le spiegazioni di Domenech non sono piaciute molto neppure al club e per capirlo bastano le parole del numero 17: «Anche in B penso che la Juve resti una grande squadra. Siamo primi in classifica e più di così non so cosa potremmo fare». L’esclusione fa male pure perché, finora, Domenech aveva detto di non badare alla categoria attraversata da Trezeguet: non a caso, il giocatore bianconero aveva giocato da titolare l’amichevole con l’Argentina del 7 febbraio scorso (72 minuti in campo) e la partita di qualificazione agli Europei a Glasgow, contro la Scozia (62’). Contro le isole Far Oer, l’11 ottobre, era entrato nel finale, ma in 29’ aveva segnato una doppietta. «Sembra che il ct abbia cambiato idea».

Dando un’occhiata all’ultima lista, poi, viene da chiedersi quando mai l’attaccante potrà ritornare. Domenech, infatti, ha dovuto rinunciare a Thierry Henry e Louis Saha, solitamente i titolari, infortunati entrambi. Per la prima volta è spuntato il nome di Frederic Piquionne, che non si può neppure definire una speranza: ha 28 anni, gioca nel Monaco, e ha segnato sei gol in una squadra che è al quattordicesimo posto della Ligue. Almeno Karim Benzema, dell’Olympique Lione (4 reti in campionato), di anni ne ha venti. Gli altri posti sono occupati da Anelka (Bolton), Cissé (Olympique Marsiglia), Govou, Malouda e Wiltord (tutti e tre dell’Olympique Lione). Trezeguet sarà pure impiombato dalla B e da alcune prove non proprio splendenti (9 gol in 19 partite), ma dovrebbe aver dimostrato di saperla buttare dentro. Con la Nazionale è a 34 reti in 69 partite, non tutte addentate dall’inizio. La parola fine vorrebbe scriverla più avanti. «Mi sento figlio adottivo della Francia - disse Trezeguet alla vigilia della partita contro l’Argentina, suo Paese di origine - ma sono orgoglioso di indossare la maglia della Nazionale». Perciò non vuole rinunciarci: «Sono sempre a disposizione, Domenech può contare su di me al cento per cento». Basta chiamarlo.

Here's a Babelfish translation: -

"From when they are in Italy - David Trezeguet told once - I have learned that it must reflect very, before speaking". It has made therefore also stavolta, in spite of the astonishment, and the disappointment, for the lacked convocazione the National French was one botta unexpected. It has thought two days to us then, yesterday, has opened the virgolette, sweeping via the hypocrisies, as usual. "With Raymond Domenech - the forward of the Juve has said, referring to the technical officer of the" Blues "- not it has been some agreement for the lacked convocazione. We have not had a talk. No telephone call ". Than more angry, Trezeguet is astonished, disappointed: it knows well that on the decision of Domenech it has weighed the B series of the Juve, therefore as has influenced on the ambitions of the other French bianconeri, Zebina and Boumsong. That it would not have gone in National, David has known only thursday afternoon to it, the day in which is exited the list of the convocazioni for the game of qualification to the Europeans of 2008 against the Lituania and for the friendly one against Austria. A message in secretariat has been found, in which Domenech announced to it that it would not have called it: better, before, it was dedicated to the Juve, in order to return to the maximum levels. Those words have been the only contact. The same day, instead, is exited a reconstruction that one cited telephone call between the player and the technician, and relative agreement. "it is not therefore", it has cleared Trezeguet, than also, like ten years ago, when esordì with France, much holds us to play with the mesh of the National one: "Sure that I hope to play the Europeans of 2008, but if they are penalized respect to others because the Juve plays in B, I will have to head all at the next year". Probable, inasmuch as on the Equipe, Domenech therefore had motivated the exclusion of the centravanti bianconero: "David is crossing a period a po' difficult, wants lasciargli the time and to save it in order to make yes that meetings the series To with its club. To that point it will be more serene and than new to the maximum ". If the road of the reasoning is this, Trezeguet makes po' a hard work to walk to us over: "Task to deserve respect - it has added to me with soothed tone - therefore as they deserve it my companions and the Juve". If then this bitterness will end on the balance of the decisions, to year-end, will see. Sure it does not help to raises humor ages them. The explanations of Domenech are not piaciute a lot to the club and in order not to understand are enough it the words of number 17: "Also in B task that the Juve remains one great square. We are first in classifies more and than therefore I do not know what we could make ". The exclusion makes badly also because, up to now, Domenech had said not to attend to the category crossed from Trezeguet: not to case, the bianconero player had played from holder friendly with the Argentine of 7 past February (the 72 minuteren in field) and the game of qualification to the Europeans to Glasgow, against Scozia (62 '). Against the islands To make Oer, 11 October, had entered in the end, but in 29' it had marked one doppietta. "He seems that the ct he has changed idea". Giving a glance to the last list, then, he comes to ask itself when the forward never can return. Domenech, in fact, has had to renounce to Thierry Henry and Louis Saha, usually the holders, injured people both. For before the time the name of Frederic Piquionne is dulled, than one cannot not be defined hope: it has 28 years, it plays in the Monaco, and has marked six goal in a square who is to the fourteenth place of the Ligue. At least Karim Benzema, of the Olympique Lione (4 nets in championship), of years has twenty. The other places are occupied from Anelka (Bolton), Cissé (Olympique Marseilles), Govou, Malouda and Wiltord (all and three of the Olympique Lione). Trezeguet also impiombato from the B and some tests not just dazzling (9 19 left goals in), but it must have demonstrated to know it to throw within. With the National one it is to 34 nets in 69 games, not all bitten from the beginning. The fine word would want to write it more ahead. "I feel adoptive son of France - Trezeguet to the eve of the game against the Argentine said, its Country of origin - but are proud to wear the mesh of the National one". Therefore it does not want rinunciarci: "They are always to disposition, Domenech can count on me to the hundreds for hundreds". Enough to call it.

Briefly:

Trezeguet angrily: "I didn't agree with Domenech over anything for not convening me. He didn't call me or talk to me. He says that the reason is that Juve is in Serie B, but Juve is still a great club. We're the first in the rankings, and I don't know what we can do more."

It's kind of ironic that Trez gets dropped the same week that DP, Camo and Buffon all get recalled.
Exactly, that was said by DD when he attacked Domenech's decision:

"David was disappointed for being disqulified for three matches in Serie B, but also, he's so much disappointed for not being called up to the national team. We received that badly, not because of the exclusion itself, but because of the motive that Domenech used to explain his choice.

At the beginning of this season, Domenech had said that to play in serie B would not have blocked calling up Trezeguet to the national team, but it seems that in the last period of time, he has had a change of mind. His choice is welcome, but I do not share his decision. I find that his justifications are offensive because David since the beginning of the season is trying to help Juve to return in Serie A. He claims that Serie B is easier, but according to me the level of this championship is very high. I do not understand that decision because all the other national juventini continue to be convened: look at Buffon, Camoranesi, Bojinov, Kovac. Domenech is the only one that does not ever call the club's coach to ask for an advice, or a comparison of the conditions of the players. I Never had talked with him, and for this reason, many other coaches complained like Wenger and Houllier."

Let's face it, Domenech is a complete idiot and if it weren't for Zidane's last breaths of excellence, in the crucial stages of the WC, he himself would be coaching a 2nd division club.

I mean it would be ok if he didn't call up Trez because he is off-form, after all he's not playing too well, but because he plays for a Serie B club? That's a disgusting slap in the face and if I were Trez I'd never play for France untill he's sacked, it can't be a too long wait. What, Trez's ability lowered automatically after his club's demotion? Nonsense.
