Didier Deschamps explain reasons for not signing David Trezeguet – Ligue 1 news
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Trezeguet is not a viable option for the Alps club.
Didier Deschamps, coach at Stade Velodrome, has repeatedly addressed his desire of bringing a high profile striker to Stade Velodrome. Currently a free agent, the veteran striker has not been approached by the 2010/2011 Champions of France due to the lack
of guarantees in form and physical fitness and the high salary attached with the Frenchman.
Les Phoceens have been keeping tabs on several other high profile strikers in the summer transfer window including Juventus hitman http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alberto-Gilardino-c4324. Lack of resources, however, has been a stumbling block in Marseille’s ambitions.
Although being a free agent, Marseille would have to only have to agree on the salary of Trezeguet in order to enlist him in their books. The 1998 world cup winner for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 comes with a wealth of experience and great skill. But according to the former
Juventus coach, signing Trezeguet would be too risky owing to his age and physical condition.
In an interview to local radio station RMC, the French tactician expressed his views on the option of Trezeguet saying, "I know David, there’s been a lot of talk about him. He is a very special player but he has not trained properly since the start of the
campaign. It happens at an age when the risk is certainly a bit higher than compared to a player of 28, 29, or 30 years.”
The former AS Monaco coach had number of reasons to look before he decided not to sign the Normandy native. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-Morientes-c13689 who played only 11 league games in the 2009/2010 season before retiring from football.
In addition, disturbing the established coordination of Lucho Gonzalez and Loic Remy in the field will not be advisable, as Trezeguet will take precious time to settle in especially after Marseille are yet to bag a win in the 2011/2012 Ligue 1 Championelle.
Furthermore, Serie A’s top goalscorer from the 2001/02 season is reported to be looking for a weekly gross salary of around 28,000 pounds, a sum too heavy on Les Phoceens’ fragile finances.
The recruitment of Trezeguet was thus deemed too risky by Marseille and with the departure of El Comandante, Gonzalez, no longer progressing, chances of Marseille landing a striker before the end of the summer transfer window are further reduced.
With the meteoric rise of Andre Ayew’s younger brother, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordan-Ayew-c19098, Didier Deschamps would always confine Trezeguet to a peripheral role at the club even if the Frenchman is to join the Ligue 1 giants.
