International freindly : France vs Czech Rep (1 Viewer)

[Huzi]

Former World champions France will host Czech Rep on wednesday night in a freindly international where Les Bleu are going into another match in order to prove that their performance in 2002 world cup was just a special case for them. J Santini , the french coach will have many players back from injury like Arsenal's Pires & Juventus' Trezegeut . He will also line-up former world best player Zinedine Zidane in the midfeild , T Henry will start the match alongside Trezegeut (unless Santini want to make several changes) , Man utd's Barthez is out for injury while Chelsea's dio Gallas & Desailly will play together in the center of the defence alongside Lziarazu & Thuram , the main problem for Santini is who will partern Zidane in the midfeild where many players compete to win a place in the starting lineup .
On the other hand the Czech team will go to Paris with some new faces as they want to recharge the team with new blood after the early exit from the world cup qualifiers , need to say that Juventus' midfelder Nedved is among the players list going to this match.

Go Nedved! :thumb: Kick their ass!

 

[Martin]

Last match up I remember was at Euro2000. It was pretty even but the Czechs missed their chances while the French didn't. Nedved was in sparkling form on the occasion, inspirational as midfield engine.

I say 2-0 again for the hosts.

I see a strong selection for both, very pleased with Petr Cech looking to start for the Czechs :thumb:

 

[Stu]

It's good to see upcoming youngsters like Gallas,Mexes,Pedretti and Marlet in the French squad,and the Czech midfield looks very strong.:thumb:

P.S. Zizou:strong:VS:strong:Neddy

Don't forget the Czech Republic is Euro U21 champions, they have quite a number of decent players too

Btw they beat the French U21 in the final

 

[dpforever]

I only hope Neddy, Trezegol, and Thuram get out of this unscathed.

That's true, but on penalties and because of excellent keeping from Petr Cech.

 

[Dr. Flava]

How do you rate Djibril Cisse?

 

[Stu]

I haven't seen him enough to rate him,but from what I have seen he's a pretty good player with lots of potential,hopefully he can make use of that and become a great player.
