Zidane Returns With Les Bleus!

I'm with Infesta on this. As much as I apreciate Zidane, when he said he wanted to retire from the NT and had every right to do so, he should've thought deeply on it. This is a disrespect for the players who're working hard for a place on the NT, and then because Zidane wants to return, even if his intentions are good - to help the team, at least one player supposly younger than him has to leave the team.

Zidane will not carry the team on his shoulders, and France needed to have someone by now to replace him (of course not as good as him, at least yet). Zidane won't last forever and he's already 33 and his quality of play arguably decreased now, as it's normal. I'd be more worried to find a replacement for him and to integrate that player on the team.

I blame the coach though, it must've been him who contacted the player, as he did with other players who are also going back, such as Makelélé.

I just think this all thing with going back with your decisions shouldn't be carried so softly, it's like this is just a game, just for laughs.

Who said Madrid was responsible?
You seem to lack the abbility to interpret a simple phase. Now learn with me:
Madrid's senior department = have beens playing for Madrid (namely Figo and Zidane)
tendency to pull this trick lately = coming back from NT retirement. I was referring to Figo.
[Btw, you're getting a card because I don't like randoms insulting anyone, much less me.]

Socrates: who said anything about being forced? :| If they were being forced to do anything I wouldn't call them whores, would I?
I agree with you on one thing, though: the NT managers should give an example by not calling them. [Wouldn't it be great if a player returned from retirement but wasn't called again?]

I think this is a good thing for France. If there is somebody better for the job, I'd still rather have Zidane. And lord knows the guy still has some magic in him. The French fans must be rejoicing.

Think Nedved has already come out of international retirment as well.

you do realise that players return from retirement because the NT coaches ask them to, atleast in most cases?

Yes, of course. They wouldn't risk a comeback without being assured they'd play. Still, I'd love to see them not being called up, just for the total disrespect they show for their team mates who were there all steps of the way.

And another one... :rolleyes:
Strangely, Real Madrid's senior department have been showing a tendency to pull this trick lately... Bunch of whores.

I think this is super unfair for those who went through the qualifying stages and now see their place taken by some rehashed player.

Rehashed players? haha.

Its only the greatest player of our time.

I think Zizou will help out France very much since they dont have a player with his characteristics. Since this year he will have more rest time with the signing of Baptista, its ok.

zidane and figo don't know what they want, I guess they got over the fact that Greece kicked both of their A$$ :)
