If we don't sign another CB, we should keep him as backup, not good enough as starter, but as backup, I don't mind keeping him.

 

[Alfio_87]

I dont mind keeping him either his heart is in it let him stay if we dont sign another defender.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

i want him to stay! i have a soft corner for him!

Domenech trusts Serie A stars Thursday 16 August, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raymond Domenech has picked six Serie A players in his France squad to face Italy in the crucial September 8 Euro 2008 qualifier.

Fiorentina 'keeper Sebastian Frey and Roma’s Philippe Mexes join Juve trio David Trezeguet, Jean-Alain Boumsong and Jonathan Zebina and Inter’s Patrick Vieira.

Trezeguet is selected despite a long-standing rift between the ex-Monaco striker and Domenech and his criticism of recent comments by his boss.

Les Blues lead the Azzurri by two points in Group B, but as it stands both sides will secure automatic qualification.

However, Italy only lead third-placed Scotland by a single point and will also be highly motivated by the intense rivalry between the two sides which intensified after last summer’s World Cup Final.

In recent weeks the rivalry has become more bitter after Domenech fanned the flames by accusing the Italian Under-21 side of match-fixing and alleging that there were 'agreements’ at work in Serie A.

Roberto Donadoni’s Azzurri side will be cheered on by a capacity San Siro crowd as tickets have now sold out.

France squad in full:

Goalkeepers: Frey (Fiorentina), Landreau (PSG), Rame (Bordeaux), Richert (Sochaux)
Defenders: Abidal (Barcelona), Boumsong (Juventus), Clerc (Lyon), Evra (Manchester United), Gallas (Arsenal), Givet (Marseille), Mexes (Roma), Reveillere (Lyon), Sagna (Arsenal), Squillaci (Lyon), Thuram (Barcelona), Zebina (Juventus)
Midfielders: Diaby (Arsenal), A Diarra (Bordeaux), L Diarra (Chelsea), Makelele (Chelsea), Malouda (Chelsea), Mavuba (Villarreal), Nasri (Marseille), Ribery (Bayern Munich), Rothen (PSG), Toulalan (Lyon), Vieira (Inter)
Strikers: Anelka (Bolton), Benzema (Lyon), Briand (Rennes), Cisse (Marseille), Henry (Barcelona), Piquionne (Monaco), Trezeguet (Juventus)

look you can only praise boumsong and zebina's determination to stay and prove a point, its determination like that, that makes juve, juve, but im one that prefers fighters over quality

:toast:

Forza Boumsong.

 

[LegiaJuve]

He fully knows he's nothing more than a back-up at Juve right now. If he really is that determined to improve his game by working hard each training session just for the hope of breaking into our first team then by all means... I welcome the work-ethic and example he sets to others.

He might not be the best player on the pitch, but I can't fault him for his committment. As long as he's under no illusions that his game needs to improve before he gets any serious game minutes.

 

[Eddy]

Shocking...Trezeguet is in the squad. He was playing for a Serie B team and scored only 16 goals. I have to remove him immediately.

its more difficult for a top striker like him to play in the 2nd division, i doubt kaka would do as well in serie B as he would in serie A

 

[Thunderball]

I almost spat water on my monitor when I read that Boumsong was called up for France... even Zebina is a stretch, but understandable... are they that hard up for defenders??

It was a joke. I was Domenech for 2 minutes and a half.

Just remeber who their coach is.

There is no logic behind any decisions because France have plenty good defenders.

For a guy who has been bitching about the Italian NT lately, he's sure picking Frenchies with experience in Italian clubs who, at least in a couple cases, aren't exactly considered Frances' finest...

sorry i didnt quite pick up your french accent

its a way of saying sorry i guess..

"Let me pick, whom I consider rejects, mind you, from the Italian League Serie A AND B, and maybe they'll like me again...for who I am..a World Cup finalist-loser"

 

[Thunderball]

Just remeber who their coach is.

There is no logic behind any decisions because France have plenty good defenders.

This is true... Domenech is a total nutbar... and I wonder if he did pick a bunch of second tier quality players with Serie A experience (Trez notwithstanding) with the hopes of being able to play an Italian style against Italy and somehow do it better with inferior players??

 

[LegiaJuve]

Who knows, but that's probably it (Italian experience). I'm just glad Trez is in the line-up. The national team means a lot to him but Domenech has stripped that pride from him for no reason for a while now.

Lets hope Trez plays well and makes that loser coach blush some more!

 

[Ahmed]

the problem is that asshole doesn't play Trez with Henry...

 

[Trezegol17]

Okk i want too say finally Domenech made some sense with picking Trezie, for the rtest i want too say well done Boum and Zebina, you worked hard and earnend it.
It looks like allmost all the Juve squad members are Internationals again, well done and i hope we squash milan tomorrow!
Forza Juve and the 3 frenchies
