Raymond Domenech regularly has ringing ears. Most often due to his time at the head of the France team. Beyond the incredible Knysna fiasco during the 2010 World Cup, the former French coach did not leave his players with good memories.
“I couldn’t see him, whether in the U21 or the French team, I never liked him”Philippe Mexès recently launched on the subject, adding: “I didn’t feel well. ‘The ram doesn’t play with the scorpion, the scorpion doesn’t play with the bull…’ For me, it’s not football, we’re not in the theater. »
But Raymond Domenech’s past as a player also regularly earns him criticism. The fault is his roughness on the pitch. New illustration with comments made by Christian Lopez, former player of Saint-Etienne, Toulouse and Montpellier.
Raymond Domenech hurt “to hurt”
Guest by The Team to designate the nastiest player against whom he played during his career, the former central defender naturally cited the name of the native of Lyon.
“Raymond Domenech and GĂ©rard Janvion. Endowed with superb offensive qualities, “Doudou” (Janvion) ​​was capable of moving quickly, eliminating and hurting the opponent. But unlike Domenech, he didn’t hurt for the sake of hurting.” he confided.
Two years ago, interviewed at the Public Senate microphone, Raymond Domenech, sometimes described as a “butcher” by journalists, returned to this bad reputation. “For years, I took on the role of the bad guy and that’s okay. Guy Roux advised me not to try to be nice but to have a character. Him, he was the “spoiler”, I, the bad guy. People like to label others”he explained on the Public Senate microphone.
