Never in doubt
After Les Bleus finally started playing like they can and found they´re goal scoring boots again will the coach stick with a winning formula in the next game with Spain?
I know Togo were already out but France played an excellant match last night, high tempo, getting a lot of players forward early. Malouda and Ribery were great, full of energy, getting behind their fullbacks and mixing things up by switching wings.
Ribery missed a couple of golden chances to score but was still finding the good positions and linking well with the likes of Henry. Malouda looks like he can run all day and rarely gives the ball away.
David Trezeguet looked a bit rusty and wasted quite a few 0f the chances that came his way. I think last night was how Thierry Henry prefers France to be setup to get the best out of himself, with a lot of movement and support arriving quickly from midfield allowing him to drift wide and use his speed to go by the defender or cut in a play in a runner.
The thing is it´s pretty sure Domenech will recall Zidane for the Spain game and I just think that will slow play down too much and make it very difficult for the French forwards to get behind a well organized Spanish side.
You read members of the French squad all saying ´we need Zidane´but I wonder if some really believe it going into this knockout round. Last night they did well without him and I wouldn´t change things against a fast and skillful Spain.
