Stake the first match
National French version Spring-Summer 2008 resulting from the intersection of old gărzi that it is exponent Henry, with that of young însetaţi of glory, headed by Benzema, Nasri and Ribery. As each time they are joining people from different generations, regardless of field, animozităţile are clear. And only tactul, charisma and ability in the leadershipului they possess selecţionerul are to have a single group. No two entities divided by age, orgolii and desire to define as broad own sphere of influence.
Tough choice for Domenech. And a chance to be historic for us. And for Italian or Dutch.
Domenech is a man capable of such management?
Part of the French media deemed not accusing him of conservatism, especially as regards the game. Deosebit effective as long as Zidane was on the field, that 1-4-2-3-1 are some problems in the absence of Zizou.
Other journalists from Hexagon, on the other hand, are nerves to the ground because of his neconvocării Trezeguet, 2 place in the standings golgheterilor Serie A. For them, conservatorismul is a guarantee of quality and still a quality tournament final.
Here's how, for different reasons, media in France are close to ostilizate paroxism by Domenech. Obviously, expect a single wrong step to start, this time with facts, not only with impressions, waterfall attacks against selecţionerului.
Henry, the human experience learned last tournament before the final of career, he felt the danger comes ratării: "Great attention to the first match with Romania. For everything depends on it! ".
Thierry Henry, "tunarul" in French attack
If you look batch French to search a vedetă, you will not know where to choose. You want experience and force of Vieira? You want safety of Gallas? Or maybe prefer fuleul and Benzema's youth. Or fantezia's Nasri, the future star's Wenger. Or complete the game's Ribery, true survivor's Zidane. But above all, however, remains the image of Thierry Henry. Next vedeta team and the absolute leader after the withdrawal of "Zizou"
The number one at Arsenal, Henry has gone to Barcelona astă summer, but has not received the attention and wanted one of Frank Rijkaard's side. Lăsat of the bank, starul French is very willing to demonstrate the qualities of Europe. It is likely the last tournament of his career this great player, and Henry is not ready to leave the international football and Zidane, won the last game for Italy guralivului Materazzi. For Henry European trophy would be a încununare career. Because it would be his trophy. The leader.
Henry started the national "cocoşului galic" at a match with South Africa in 1997 and has so far selected 98 of which managed to sign up for 44 goals, overcome it on Michel Platini (41 of goals) in this preliminariile European championship.
System game: 4-4-2
Domenech is conservative. The classic 4-4-2 with two închizători, the system is preferred and used mainly by French selecţionerul. What goes on hand veterans. Coupet, Gallas, Thuram, Makelele and Vieira are the "backbone" of the team. Young May Nasri are expected to find their place of a pensioner. Instead, the strips of land, Domenech can rely on players and extremely fast techniques. Ribery is the man that Victor Piţurcă will have to guard. Spiller fully equipped with remarkable technique, speed, sense of servings, mijlocaşul people from Bayern is the driving team. Man with the explosion. Pleacă from somewhere in banda left, and then prăvăleşte to careul opponent, driblând and cărând the ball onto the gate. Create color for coechipieri, decisive passes, but also to score often. The good is that other mijlocaş of bandwidth, Malouda, had a weak season at Chelsea and does not appear in its waters.
The attack things seem clear. Henry is the leader. However, Domenech has to choose who will play alongside Barcelona starul. Preferred until now was Anelka. But he had a final season mizerabil from Chelsea, scored the decisive ratarea penaltiului lost in the finals of the Champions League. Domenech is încăpăţânat and consistent, but it is likely to prefer the young Benzema May. The danger is greater so. Lyonului tip is shaped, and with a great performance hungry
Grand absent
Raymond Domenech announced the Enhanced batch of the 29 players for the European championship, but he does not fall David Trezeguet, Juventus's atacantul. That although the Frenchman finished in second place in the standings golgheterilor of Serie A with 20 goals (one less as Del Piero and three more as Adrian Mutu).
Many names will remain home in May, following selecţionerul to notify those who will be going to EC, but this încăpăţânare to not count on Trezeguet is incomprehensible to Domenech. Maybe atacantul juventin not impressed in the last national games, but neither has baneficiat opportunities. For Romănia is better that a player with a high rate of goals marked as Trezeguet will not be attending the Euro.
