Trez slams Domenech rant Monday 13 August, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus striker David Trezeguet has hit out at France Coach Raymond Domenech for his controversial indictment of Italian football.
Domenech stunned the football world last week when he claimed that the Italian game was 'full of secret agreements’.
He also stated that the Azzurrini’s triumph over France’s Under-21 side in qualifying for the 2000 Olympics had been the result of biased refereeing.
Trezeguet has never seen eye to eye with Domenech and told La Stampa that the ex-Lyon tactician’s comments were a disgrace.
“I read what he said and my God I was annoyed,” Trez stated. “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.
“He hasn’t picked me since February. If he selects me against Slovakia on August 22 then good, but if not I’ll be patient.”
Having vented his spleen at Domenech, the Juve hitman took the chance to insist that the Old Lady should not be discounted from the Scudetto race.
“On paper, Inter and Milan have more than us,” he admitted.
“But that’s only on paper. We are ready to compete and after everything that has happened we have a will to win that other sides can only dream of.”
