Domenech was the guest of this morning's football tv show, hosted, for once, by a guy I liked.
Domenech appeared shaky. I won't say I remember everything he said, I was focused on his behavior.
To sum it up it was: don't bring the bad news forward, it's useless and damages the team spirit.
To which Lizarazu (being extremely polite, considering what he said after France-Ireland) replied that everybody wanted to know why France was so poor, insisting on the fact keeping away the journalists was forcing them to investigate on the reasons of the catastrophy.
Then Ribéry came. He was not expected. He apologized to the nation. He nearly cried. He said playing for France had been hard since 2008. He added that the first thing they hear when they wake up is reports about qualms and fights and so on (last one a bust up between him and Gourcuff).
He had a beautiful expensive wristwatch.
Two weak ghosts, asking for 2-3 days of peace before being slaughtered.
Probably rightly so, as Ribéry did two odd things.
1) He said noone wanted Anelka to be flown back to Europe - saying that, with Domenech by his side!
2) He backed Evra and mentioned a traitor, and at the same time talking about being in a group where everybody liked everybody... Was everyone told that he'd be their spokeperson? Hard to believe... Interesting to see (his whole body language).
Lizarazu's eyes were lit with something close to rage at the end of the interview.
