France: Domenech Puts the Interests of French Football ahead Anything Else

Although he knows how a player could feel to be dropped from the squad for EUFA EURO 2008, coach Raymond Domenech said that French football was more important that feelings in this case. “I know it’s not an easy position for a player, but the interests of French football must come first,” said Domenech, who has the tough duty to decide who will be part of the French squad for UEFA EURO 2008.

The coach is concerned about that fact that as many as 18 players of the squad will still be in action after 18 May, the deadline Domenech had given a few time ago. Thus, there will be a major threat of injuries and Raymond Domenech can’t take any chances.

“After 18 May there are still major games to be played such as the UEFA Champions League, Italian Cup and French Cup finals,” Domenech said in a statement. “There is a big risk that some of the players I call up could get injured, so it will be an extended list given many players are involved in these matches,” he also added.
