Les 22 Bleus avec Abidal, Nasri et Ben Arfa, mais sans Makelele contre Autriche et Serbie
Le sélectionneur de l'équipe de France Raymond Domenech a bâti, jeudi, une liste de 22 joueurs sans surprise, marquée par les retours de Ben Arfa, Nasri et Abidal, et toujours sans Makelele, pour les deux premiers matches des qualifications du Mondial-2010, contre l'Autriche, le 6 septembre, et la Serbie, le 10 septembre.
Hatem Ben Arfa et Samir Nasri, convoqués pour l'amical contre la Suède (3-2), le 20 août, avaient tous deux manqué ce déplacement sur blessure. Eric Abidal, exclu contre l'Italie à l'Euro et absent en Suède, refait son retour dans l'optique du deuxième match des Bleus face aux Serbes au Stade de France, le défenseur du FC Barcelone étant suspendu contre l'Autriche.
Raymond Domenech n'a, en revanche, pas fait appel à Claude Makelele. Le milieu de terrain du Paris SG avait annoncé sa retraite internationale à l'issue de l'Euro mais le technicien tricolore l'avait inclus dans sa liste des pré-convoqués
"Makelele, ce n'est pas lui qui décide, avait indiqué Domenech mardi à l'AFP. Si la concurrence fait penser que, c'est vrai, vu son âge (35 ans, ndlr), il peut y avoir derrière des solutions intéressantes dans l'avenir, sur le moment, si on a besoin de quelqu'un pour la maturité, l'expérience, pour apporter un équilibre à l'équipe, je reste encore le dernier décideur."
Les quatre milieux défensifs sont donc les mêmes que contre la Suède: Jérémy Toulalan, Lassana et Alou Diarra, et Mathieu Flamini.
Le sélectionneur a par ailleurs confirmé la nouvelle hiérarchie des gardiens en renouvelant sa confiance au duo Steve Mandanda-Hugo Lloris.
Chez les défenseurs, outre le retour d'Abidal, Domenech a fait appel à Sébastien Squillaci qui doit débuter ce week-end la Liga avec son nouveau club du FC Séville. Jean-Alain Boumsong, en manque de temps de jeu à Lyon, disparaît de la liste. Rod Fanni profite toujours des absences sur blessure de Willy Sagnol et François Clerc et sera le N.2 sur le côté droit derrière Bacary Sagna.
En attaque, le trio Thierry Henry-Karim Benzema-Nicolas Anelka est également reconduit.
. Gardiens
Steve Mandanda (Marseille), Hugo Lloris (Lyon)
. Défenseurs
Eric Abidal (FC Barcelone/ESP), Bacary Sagna (Arsenal/ENG), William Gallas (Arsenal/ENG), Patrice Evra (Manchester United/ENG), Rod Fanni (Rennes), Philippe Mexès (AS Rome/ITA), Gaël Clichy (Arsenal/ENG), Sébastien Squillaci (FC Séville/ESP)
. Milieux
Mathieu Flamini (AC Milan/ITA), Lassana Diarra (Portsmouth/ENG), Jérémy Toulalan (Lyon), Florent Malouda (Chelsea/ENG), Hatem Ben Arfa (Marseille), Alou Diarra (Bordeaux), Yoann Gourcuff (Bordeaux), Sidney Govou (Lyon), Samir Nasri (Arsenal/ENG)
. Attaquants
Thierry Henry (Barcelone/ESP), Nicolas Anelka (Chelsea/ENG), Karim Benzema (Lyon)
Ils entrent (3): Eric Abidal, Samir Nasri, Sébastien Squillaci.
Ils sortent (1): Jean-Alain Boumsong.
Ils restent (19): Steve Mandanda, Hugo Lloris, Bacary Sagna, William Gallas, Patrice Evra, Rod Fanni, Philippe Mexès, Gaël Clichy, Mathieu Flamini, Lassana Diarra, Jérémy Toulalan, Florent Malouda, Hatem Ben Arfa, Alou Diarra, Yoann Gourcuff, Sidney Govou, Thierry Henry, Nicolas Anelka, Karim Benzema.source: fr.news.yahoo.com LOL. Austria has high chances to kick our ass ;D OK, I understand why our dear coach left Boumsong home. But WHY WOULD HE TAKE ABIDAL, CLICHY AND EVRA, 3 PLAYERS ON ONE POSITION? WHY ?! WHY EVRA? I don't find him good for the defense, I don't find him good or necessary for the team's moral or motivation. He's good in the middle, with some attacking tasks, but Domenech never used him there. Alou Diarra disappointed me overmuch. He fouled Kallstrom like a beginner player. The last thing we need is another Toulalan on the field. You can't foul like that.. and it was a friendly match. But this is the current squad, this is what players think devotion means, to break the opponent's feet. Wow, you play so good   This is what I like about Karim, he's calm and does his job without bumping around. And I hope he'll manage to stay like this. I want to see Gourcuff playing. I don't care about team stability, I want to see changes, I want to see Domenech trying. All he did was making a mess out of this team. Zizou, Makelele, Thuram, Trezeguet and Henry were the only ones keeping this team's unity. Because they respected each other, they were friends, they knew when to contradict each other, they knew how to help each other. I was so proud of them ! Yes, i was proud of them in 1998, when they won the World Cup. I was proud of them in 2000, when they won Euro. I was proud of them in 2002, when they lost to Senegal and Denmark in the group stage, and were the last ones in the group. I was proud of the on the 2004 Euro, when they got to the quarter-finals, but lost to Greece, a bad team in my opinion (they may have won Euro 2004 but that's all they did). I was proud of the on the 2006 World Cup, when they lost at the penalty shoot-out. I was so proud of Wiltord and Trezeguet in 2000 Euro final. It was 1-0 for Italy and they scored 2 goals in the extra-time.. and we won. I was so proud of Trezeguet for having the strenght to admit the seriousness of his penalty miss and for leaving the stupid man pride out and crying in front of thousands of people at the Elysee Palace. I was so proud to see his team mates comforting him and scowling at Domench for blaming him. And Zizou... Damn, that man made my heart skip so many times, but he also scored the most important goals for the team. I was so proud of him when he knocked pezzo di merda Materazzi down! I miss them so much...

Oh my God, I'm having a breakdown! DOMENECH, ARE YOU STUPID?Actually I'm the stupid one for asking the question. Of course you are. You could have let Anelka home, not Ben Arfa, but whatever, I guess we'll play with 5 defenders and 5 strikers  |
