Desailly on France
By Marcel Desailly
1998 World Cup winner with France
My friend Zinedine Zidane is about to play the
last game of his career in the final of the World
Cup. Can you imagine how motivated he will be?
And the rest of the team will be eager to give
him the World Cup as a parting gift. It is a
great motivation for France.
As in 2002 and 2004, we started the competition
slowly and Zidane almost had to end his career
in a bad way.
Italy don't really deserve to be in the World
Cup final - they have shown only 45 minutes of
good football --Marcel Desailly
He was suspended for the final group game against
Togo and the team had to win to be sure of progress.
When they did, Zidane realised he had to enjoy
the tournament and play in a more relaxed and
free way.
And against Spain, there was an explosion. Finally
the players were confident, and if players have
quality and you add confidence, they can be unstoppable.
I'm a bit disappointed about Italy. They don't
really deserve to be in the World Cup final because
they have shown only 45 minutes of good football, in
the second half of their semi-final against Germany.
But they are there. They've had a lot of problems
back home and have stuck together and kept a good
rhythm, without being really convincing.
People also said Zidane was upset with Domenech -
it wasn't true --Marcel Desailly
The final is going to be a real battle - a tactical
and a physical battle. The two teams have such experience.
My only worry is that Italy will score quickly.
If they do, it will be very difficult for France
and the game could be killed as a spectacle.
There have been rumours that some of France's
senior players, and not coach Raymond Domenech,
have been running the team.
Not so. If it was true, Zidane would have his
wish of playing behind two strikers as a real
playmaker, not as a deep-lying forward.
And Thierry Henry would not accept playing alone
up front. He would want to be running off a target
man.
Actually, Domenech is holding things together
very well. This is a real team and they stuck
together when they were having problems.
People also said Zidane was upset with Domenech
- but it wasn't true.
Zidane is a champion. Early on he decided he was
going to concentrate on his work so he could be
at the top of his game.
Then, when he was at the top of his performance,
he could talk, smile and be positive again.
And that's exactly what he's done. But people
interpreted it in a different way.
