“There is a game against Serbia on Wednesday, and we are going to try and qualify for the World Cup finals, to take you all (the assembled press) to South Africa. “We are going to do our best against Serbia.”
Henry, who scored France’s goal on Saturday before an own goal gave Romania an equaliser, backed up the coach saying the reason he had gone on French television on Monday was to defuse the situation.
“It simply wasn’t true (the report),” said Henry, who was cited by someone within the squad to have accused Domenech of lacking direction and that the players did not know where they were playing when they went on to the pitch. “Like I said there had been a constructive discussion.
“There was no clash, no words said in anger. There was nothing serious in what went on. “We were all taken by a surprise. It is a shame that information comes out like that (from within the camp). But we are beginning to become accustomed to it.”
Domenech also rejected claims by Chelsea’s Florent Malouda he had only learnt he would not feature against Romania when he entered the dressingroom on Saturday and saw there was no shirt for him.
