Wenger Unhappy With Domenech?

(Goal.com) - Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is said to be furious with France coach Raymond Domenech.

The Gunners boss is reportedly frustrated that William Gallas and Thierry Henry were made to play the entire 90 minutes of France’s friendly with Greece on Wednesday evening, while Chelsea's Claude Makelele and Manchester United's Louis Saha and Patrice Evra only played half.

With the Gunners playing Newcastle on Saturday and Hamburg on Tuesday it is likely to mean three matches in seven days for the duo.

Domenech’s actions could further strain relations with Wenger who was critical of the France coach’s decision to play Henry for all of the friendly against Bosnia in August.

Last month Wenger compared international coaches to joyriders.

He said: "What the national coaches are doing is like taking the car from his (club manager's) garage without even asking his permission.

"They'll then use his car for 10 days and abandon it in a field without any petrol left in the tank.

"We then have to recover it, but it is broken down. Then, a month later, they'll come to take your car again — and for good measure you're expected to be nice about it."

Wenger is right; Domenech is a little nazi, he cares only about his concerns; a balance has to be reached so as not to burn the players out.

Wenger is right and hes right to say it

hes the most outspoken critic of the way national teams are run in the way that they over play players, and dont compensate teams for injuries sustained.

Wenger is definatly my favorite coach because hell stand up for his team.
