Denmark friendly

May 31st, 2006 | by: Chriso | Comments Off

The French team that plays Denmark in Lens tonight sees just two changes from the one that beat Mexico 1-0.

Raymond Domenech has kept the same defence and midfield and just switched the strikers, with Thierry Henry and Louis Saha coming in for Trezeguet and Cisse.
It seems pretty obvious that barring injuries this will be the lineup that starts the World Cup except for Trezeguet leading the attack instead of Saha.

I’m glad Domenech is not chopping and changing this close to the tournament, he should know what team he wants by now and how he would like them to play. Let one or two bench players get a run out but don’t make wholesale changes.

Denmark are always a well organized side and should give France a good workout, I doubt revenge for 2002 will come into it.

Team Barthez, Sagnol, Thuram, Gallas, Abidal, Makelele, Zidane, Malouda, Vieira, Henry, Saha.
