France manager Raymond Domenech has played down his squad's troubled build-up to the FIFA World Cup™ which culminated in a 1-0 defeat by China on Friday on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion.
"To lose against China in our final build-up game hardly pleases me but at the end of the day it remains a preparation match," he said. "Now we get down to the real thing."
Asked if he intended to tinker with his lineup following poor performances by his strikers against China (0-1), Tunisia (1-1) and Costa Rica (2-1), Domenech told French TV: "Everything is possible. We will see what the players can manage on Friday [against Uruguay]."
France also face hosts South Africa and Mexico in Group A as they attempt to reach the Final once again having lost to Italy in Germany four years ago.
