Video of the French Coach Getting it All Wrong

June 18th, 2008 | By: Daryl | 8 Comments »

Many have said that Raymond Domenech is mental. Leaving Phillipe Mexes at home with his feet up, bringing Samir Nasri on and then off again about four seconds later, playing Eric Abidal at centre back. All these things were wrong wrong wrong.

If we were to sit down and try to conjure a visual metaphor that illustrates Raymond Domenech’s Euro 2008 performance, we couldn’t be able come up with anything better than this.


Because sometimes - sometimes - a visual metaphor falls in your lap that’s just too perfect.

So ladies and gentlemen, here is is: the French coach getting it all wrong in Swissaustria.

Maybe it’s only obvious to those who actually know the game, but he substituted Nasri on because of the injury to Ribery, then substituted him off because of the red-card to the defender Abidal so they didn’t concede more goals. With Henry there, they still had a chance of scoring on the counter-attack, but he didn’t want to play a player short in defence.

Remember people were calling for him being fired during the world cup? After France’s pathetic showing in the group stages. Luckily they were in a group where it was harder NOT to advance then to advance (Togo? Really?)

From then, they picked up and played an obviously better tournament. But perhaps that was more the players doing great DESPITE him…

The “Das ist kein Nicky Lauda” quote at the end just caps it perfectly. :D
