Looks like the French team are missing the likes of Zidane, Desaily etc. already, what with their lacklustre display against Faroe Isle.
PV will obviously be the midfield engine but to be honest I have doubts about his playmaking abilities. Patrick is a great at box to box play but to expect him to take over Zidane's playmaking role is a bit too much. In my opinion, France will remain a spent football power until Domenech can dig up a new Zidane.
Pires might be the answer but he's more of a winger than a attacking CM if you ask me. Henry might fit the role but he's better off scoring than creating. I've heard a lot about this fellow by the name of Mourad Meghni. Supposedly the new Zidane due to the way he plays and his background (Algerian too), anybody know anything about him? Don't know as much as I would like about French football to really give an indepth analysis.
