Trezeguet eyes World Cup return
David Trezeguet is ready to perform a U-turn and make himself available
to France's national team once again.
The Juventus striker brought an end to his Les Bleus career in July after
it was announced Raymond Domenech would be staying on as France coach,
despite the team's poor showing at Euro 2008.
Trezeguet never saw eye to eye with Domenech, who left the 31-year-old
out of a number of squad selections, preferring Thierry Henry, Nicolas
Anelka and Karim Benzema as his three strikers.
However, Trezeguet has opened the door to the possibility of returning
to the national-team fold.
When asked if he was willing to come out of international retirement,
he told L'Equipe: "Yes, I think so, especially with another World
Cup looming.
"I have not put a cross through it. I have always missed Les Bleus
and I still miss them now.
"Quitting the national team was never something I wanted to do. I
am conscious of everything the France team has brought me.
"Today I am saying to myself that the 2010 World Cup could be a goal."
Trezeguet, who is currently recovering from a serious knee injury he suffered
while playing for Juve in September, has scored 34 goals in 71 matches
for France.
His last appearance in a Les Bleus jersey came in March, in a 1-0 defeat
of England in Paris.
