【每日电信】亨利:没有齐达内法国也能赢
亨利认为,即使没有齐达内,法国也能晋级十六强。
法国队队长奇达内由于累积黄牌停赛不能参加下一场在本周五举行的对多哥的最后一场小组赛,但亨利说:“我们98年也成功过,当时奇达内没有参加对丹麦和巴拉圭的比赛。”(原话用的是or,但是根据资料齐达内这两场都没上)
“我依旧坚信我们能顺利晋级。对多哥的比赛将是小组赛最简单的比赛,我们将有所作为。”
亨利还强调说,队内很团结,“没有怯场,没有私人恩怨也没有急躁情绪”。亨利认为现在的法国队跟02年那个首轮出局未进一球的法国队没有可比性。他补充道:“02年我们出局的原因是我们没有表现出创造力。这次我们明显好多了,特别是进攻上。”
有消息表明,如果法国队进入淘汰赛,主教练多梅内克将继续使用齐达内。
Thierry Henry insists that France can qualify for the knockout rounds of the World Cup, even without Zinedine Zidane.
France captain Zidane is suspended for Les Bleus' last group match against Togo on Friday, but Henry said: "We did it in 1998 without Zidane - he didn't play against Denmark or Paraguay.
"I'm still confident we're going to go through. It should be the easiest game of the group against Togo, and we're going to try to take advantage of that."
Henry also insisted there was a strong bond between the players, saying that there was "no tension, anger or nervousness in the camp" and insisting France's situation was not comparable with 2002, when they went out in the first round without scoring a goal. "In 2002 we didn't create anything at all, and that's why we went home," he added. "This time we're definitely better, in particular in attack."
Coach Raymond Domenech is expected to bring back Zidane if, as expected, France qualify from their group.
