Former France national team manager Raymond Domenech criticised Arsène Wenger's ambitions to have a World Cup every two years as a commentator on RMC Sport, recalling their long-running conflict while the latter was the manager of Arsenal.
In today's L'Équipe, Wenger outlined his proposals for international football, which include a biennial World Cup, a mandatory recovery time following summer tournaments, and the replacement of international breaks with one or two slots on the calendar dedicated to qualifications.
“The idea doesn’t make sense, it’s stupid. The fact that it’s brought forward by Mr. Wenger makes no sense. When he was manager he always went against the national teams. I had a number of disputes with him on players he didn’t want me to call up. I didn’t understand his position.”
“So in October and in March we’re going to stop playing club football? FIFA is advocating for a football for everyone, which remains a football for the elite. Players who are always called up will never actually get any holidays. It’s a political aberration. As always, it’s FIFA that decides. When I hear Wenger say that the players agree to it, he reminds me of Guy Roux who do polls at his desk. What’s more, Wenger is only citing former players. For those who aren’t playing, it’s great, for those who are, it’s an aberration.”
