Maksimov Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Malouda and Anelka are on the list but Serie A's joint top scorer Trezeguet isn't... Is Trezeguet injured or what's the deal here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loz Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 Domonech doesn't like him! Although he denies this is his reason for not picking him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea FC Champions Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 maybe because he missed the penalty shoot-out Vs Italy in the WC Final? And Clicy axed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea FC Champions Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 "If you decide to pick four or five centre forwards, you don't have that many options and you have to make choices," Domenech said."It's never easy to wake up having to cross names from a list." Instead of Trezeguet, Domenech picked St Etienne forward Bafetimbi Gomis. Scorer of 16 Ligue 1 goals this season, Gomis is the only real surprise on the list and one of two uncapped players, along with reserve goalkeeper Steve Mandanda.

Tim Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Cisse in, Trez out. Utterly ridiculous. Maybe Domenech thinks he's picking France's Olympic team and has earmarked Cisse for the 100m sprint, because a footballer he ain't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kornblume Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 The three Chelsea players are in. Not really surprising. What is more surprising is that Cissé gets the axe in favor of Gomis. Flamini and Ben Harfa are also left out. Still can't believe that Domenech picks Toulalan before Flamini... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
