Trezeguet’s Not Happy
Yes, I did do a post on this same topic not too long ago, but Trezeguet continues to break my maternal heart on an almost daily basis, so I thought I’d offer up this one too.
Seems that David Trezeguet is STILL not happy these days.
I’ve stopped trying to keep track of where he is day to day in that “I’m STAYING at Juve, no I’m GOING” dance, since a new version comes out with each news cycle. Let us just say that these are uncertain times. And then we had the blackmail thing. (Which actually turned out to be just a picture of him leaving a disco with “une amie.” And for this he paid €20,000?) Plus he’s just returned from a three-game suspension for violent conduct after elbowing some guy in the face.
But what really has David upset, still, is the fact that Raymond Domenech didn’t call him up for the last round of games, particularly with Thierry Henry and Louis Saha both out with injuries. And Raymond says it was because David’s playing in Serie B.
“Raymond Domenech left a message on my phone. He told me he wants to give me time to get back into Serie A,” Trezeguet told L’Equipe. “I can’t accept his reasons. Last summer, he told me and my French team-mates we would not be penalised because we play in Serie B. I see he has changed his mind. Anyway, he has not come to see me play at Turin since he took over as national coach.
Raymond? Not leaving the country to see somebody play? Unprecedented!
David continues: “I love the French team so much. That is why it is so difficult not to be called up, but I remain at the national coach’s disposal, of course.” Ouch.
I love Trezeguet. If you define “love” as “I feel something close to physical pain in my maternal area with each new wave of Trezeguet-related bad news.” The thing is, though, at what point do we find it necessary to just move on? Do we believe the Serie B reason given by Domenech, or do we see it as one of Raymond’s rare attempts to be tactful? Would David feel better if Raymond had said, “I’m sorry, David, but you just haven’t performed for France this past year, and we have a lot of up-and-coming talent and some solid performers and I just can’t be about trying to build up your self-confidence any more.” Because when we read between the lines of the last non-callup, isn’t that what the take-home message really was?
But how much would I still love to see an Anelka-Trezeguet pairing, just for a half, just to make sure.
Thanks to reader Rach for the link.
P.S. Can somebody tell me: Trezeguet, accents or no accents? Sometimes they show up in the French press, sometimes not. My guess is that it’s because his dad is Argentinian but of French descent, so the name is French, but somewhere along the way the accents got dropped. But I’d like to be able to write his name the “official” way. Whatever that is.

I remember seeing it spelled as Trézéguet on an AS Monaco fansite. In French, it’s pronounced as if it is accented. But there aren’t any accents on his jersey. Maybe he’s just lazy?
I was reading on some football tabloid that Trez has been garnering EPL interest, primarily from United and Liverpool. Do you know more about this?

Wikipedia also says “Trézéguet” on both the English and French sites. Yet the f.f.f. site shows it without the accents whenever he’s called up, while showing accents for everybody else. SO confusing!!

I think it’s Trézéguet. On his official website, they show his name with accents if you look under his bio. Also, I don’t think they ever have accents on soccer jerseys. Ribéry is just RIBERY on the jersey. And Makélélé is MAKELELE.
