Former French great Zinedine Zidane has criticised the approach of the team against Uruguay on Friday.
Zidane who is part of both World Cup legend and infamy, thought the French were not cohesive enough as a unit. They struggled to create clear cut chances and ultimately had to be content with a goalless draw against the South Americans.
Speaking to Canal+, he claimed: "The problem is that we have seen too many individuals. They wanted to differentiate themselves, but it is the collective who get results from matches like that."
The selection policies of Raymond Domenech were also criticsed in the press, particularly his deployment of Govou behind Nicolas Anelka, and Zidane called upon the eccentric coach to take responsibility for his decision.
"He selected the players and, at some point, it is necessary that this team gets to play together. It's the players who must move and do something to change that.
"We need this team to play together. A World Cup is very short. Some will perhaps not play again. Therefore, he should put his ego aside and work for the collective. This is not what we saw in the last game."
