Raymond Domenech has been much maligned in France for some of his strange decisions while managing the national team, but surely this must be one of his craziest move ever.
Although Clichy, Sagna and Diaby are all in the France squad to go to South Africa, the midfield maestro Samir Nasri has not been included, despite some excellent performances for Arsenal while Cesc Fabregas was out injured.
The crocked William Gallas, who hasn’t played for Arsenal for months because of his recurring injuries, has been given a chance to prove his fitness ahead of the final selection.
Poor Sami was messed about by Domenech two years ago at the Euro2008 competition, when he was put on standby when Patrick Vieira was injured, only for Domenech to keep the Arsenal legend at the Finals, even though he didn’t recover in time to play.
Bacary Sagna couldn’t help but sympathise with his team-mate. He said: “It’s great to see so many Arsenal players but the news of Nasri has put things in perspective. In these moments there is little one can say. I have not yet called him but no words can soothe him. He misses a World Cup.”
I don’t understand why France kept Domenech on as manager after the team’s dismal performance at the Euros, and he has proved once again that he is an idiot. He will definitely be dismissed once France are embarrassed by his tactics again this summer.
