Les Blues – France in World Cup 2010 : All Guilty, and now?

It remains one game and the Blues have a chance-small-qualification, which requires a successful South Africa June 22 with the greatest difference possible while hoping that Uruguay and Mexico do not not draw. Raymond Domenech, 58, who will leave his post after the World Cup, should force its nature and cut to the quick, eye to eye with its executives. What he has not done so far. He did not dare say that Vieira would not take the list of 23 and has preferred to sacrifice Gourcuff after the first game, under pressure from the “old”. Apathetic to the final whistle, Domenech said nothing in the locker room after the match against Mexico, as confirmed players. Two solutions: either it strengthens its management and provides a final selection to Thierry Henry or a bet on the “new blood” (Gignac, Valbuena, Cisse or Squillaci in central defense). Successor to Domenech, Laurent Blanc, who is currently negotiating the details of his contract, will draw lessons. He had made a faultless in Bordeaux until the end of last season missed. “President” will find his outspokenness in the France team. And do not hesitate to “reframe” the executives, regardless of their name and status.

Federation: do not let the powers to the coach?

Jean-Pierre Escalettes 75 years in office since February 2005, will remain as Chairman of the FFF, which rectified finance, secured the financial future by signing with Nike, the expense of historical partner Adidas, and offered France the organization of the Euro-2016. But it remains bound to Domenech keeping his job after Euro 2008 (first round elimination, 6 goals against, 1 marked). And as one who failed to “hold” a coach who returns a hateful image of the Blues. Mr. Escalettes Will he tried to throw the towel in case of elimination of the Blues? The question is peripheral. Whatever his identity, the president of the FFF should consider not to give full powers to the future coach, even if called Laurent Blanc.

Players: never to lie?

The players have repeated the urge “the group saw good” and “we have the means to win the World Cup.” Now the Blues have given the image of a team to the state of mind away. The Blues have they just lied to the press or did they lie to themselves? Only Jeremy Toulalan, who was the head, legs and shoulders of a future team captain in France, had slipped: “we do not have to be best friends to play well together.” However, Patrice Evra, the current captain, has not seen unrest in the corridors of Pezula, the luxurious hotel of the Blues along the Indian Ocean. “I am not going to say what is wrong, I say to the people concerned,” he said after the defeat against Mexico. It would perhaps have done before.
