Zinedine Zidane is not one who talks too much whether it's on the field or off it. So when he says something, it is definitely worth noting.

Zidane yesterday agreed with the entire lot of French critics that coach Raymond Domenech is not doing a good job of effectively utilising the talent at his disposal.
The World Cup 1998 winner also urged the coach to keep his personal duels aside.
"He (Domenech) is not a coach. He picked his squad and he has to make them play together. You must put your ego to one side and work together," said Zidane.
"Teamwork is the most important thing, and that's not what we saw during the (Uruguay) match," added the former Real Madrid Galactico.
Henry, was brought on in the 72nd minute in the Uruguay game with Domenech preferring to start with Nicolas Anelka. henry immediately justified his inclusion with a header and a a fine run-in.
Another French World Cup winner Robert Pires also agreed with Zidane. "Thierry has to return. He has a lot of experience and that is what is needed now."
