Trezeguet hints at France U-turn
Juventus striker David Trezeguet said on Monday that he could still be
persuaded to return to action for France in the future, but only 'if things
change.'
The 30-year-old - who was a part of France's 1998 FIFA World CupT and
UEFA EURO 2000 winning sides - was left out of the EURO 2008 squad following
a deterioration of his relationship with coach Raymond Domenech that meant
even his 20 goals in Serie A last season failed to count in the final
reckoning.
Now though, following the 10-year anniversary match at Stade de France
on Saturday night, Trezeguet has told La Gazzetta dello Sport that the
desire to wear the blue shirt has not left him completely, though it remains
unlikely that he will appear in one again whilst Domenech is at the helm.
"When I took the field at Stade de France, I received an extraordinary
reception," said Trezeguet, whose scoring prowess was sorely missed
by France at EURO 2008 as they crashed out in the first round and mustered
just one goal.
"Yes if things change, the door to the national team could be reopened,"
added Trezeguet, who announced last week that he had decided to retire
from international football.
Trezeguet has won 71 caps for France, the last against England in March
2008. He has scored 34 goals, including the winner in the 2000 UEFA European
Championship final.
