0

Raymond Domenech french coach has yet to prove himself in front of the french national supportes.
He promises an excitement performance for the fans in the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

After a good 2006 World Cup campaign, which ended in a shoot-out loss against Italy in the final
, Domenech’s France were among the favourites for UEFA EURO 2008.
However France disapointed in the EURO competition after drowing
against Romania 0-0, which they will have to face again in Group 7, loosing against Netherlads in a nightmare defeat 4-1 France’s worst UEFA European Championship result,
and their heaviest defeat in all competitions since 1982, and the final loss against Italy made national coach

Although having a very disapointing EURO performance Domenech kept his post thanks to French Football Federation president Jean-Pierre Escalettes that said it was too risky to change the coach at that time.He also stated that many changes are
required and that the French football will bounce back.
For start, Alain Boghossian has come in as the 56-year-old Domenech’s assistant.France have also appointed new medical staff, with Alain Simon replacing Jean-Pierre Paclet as chief doctor,
 but the principal changes are set to come on the pitch.
The first friendly after EURO a 3-2 win against Sweeden made Domenech to become optimistic about the future, although the fans don’t seem to be very convinced.

Domenech aims to getting nine points in the fisrt three matches,any different outcome might be fatal for
his job.French side will therefore be interesting to follow and see if they can achive the greatest performances that they had in the near past in the World Cup Competition.

Currently  without a contract “Il Fenomeno” is trying to get back his fitness  closely supervised by  Dr.  Runco, the one that was closed to Ronaldo at the previous two big injuries.The rehabilitation program is taken place in Rio de Janeiro, at Flamengo base.
Ronaldo declared that his knee is fine now and now he only has to focus on lousing weight and get back to the physical condition of an athlete.
Ronaldo is very optimistic about the recovery, but not the same thing we can say about the doctor who is really worried. Ronaldo was seen more and more often in fast-foods having for lunch hamburger, potatoes, sauce and a couple of beers.
Despite all the critics that he received in the last time Ronaldo considers all of them absurd and that it’s something normal to somebody who didn’t made exercises for six months.
Despite all of these, Ronaldo has a lot of offers from European and Brazilian clubs. But for now he doesn’t want to think at which club he will play only focusing on recovering.
Ronaldo is one of the best players in the football history winning the the Golden Ball three times.“Il Fenomeno” delighted a lot of fans at the clubs that he played until now and I’m sure that everybody would like to see him  playing again.
