French legend Zinedine Zidane lashed out at coach Raymond Domenech yesterday as 1998 world champions France faced elimination from the World Cup.<br /><br />  <table style="width: 174px; height: 42px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="174" align="right" border="1">  <tbody>  <tr>  <td><img alt="" src="/imagedata/2010/jun/zidane.jpg" border="0" /></td></tr>  <tr>  <td>  <p align="center"><span style="font-size: 8pt">WHAT HAVE YOU DONE? Zinedine Zidane and France coach Ramyond Domenech. </span><span style="font-size: 8pt">PICS/AFP</span></p></td></tr></tbody></table>Zidane, a member of the title-winning side from 12 years ago, but who was also red-carded in the 2006 final, believes Domenech got his selection wrong as France slumped to a 2-0 defeat against Mexico in Polokwane.<br /><br />Zidane insisted that Domenech blundered by demoting Yoann Gourcuff to the bench and depriving the side of a creative spark.<br /><br />"The coach made the decision but I don't agree with it," Zidane told Mexican television station Televisa.<br /><br />"I am disappointed because France did not have a single shot on goal and that should be the least to be expected. Tonight the best team won.<br /><br />"France did not play well, but they were against a very good team. Mexico were superior to France especially physically." This is not the first time Zidane has openly criticised the French coach or the team. Zidane was livid after France played out a goalless draw with Uruguay in their campaign opener. "I did not see any team-play. The players should control themselves and leave their egos to one side. They did not play for each other. <br /><br />Always trying to do things on your own is not good," he had said.
