Is Raymond Domenech going to retrain as a poker player?
After the poor showing of the blues yesterday in the friendly match against Nigeria, the ”coach” has some worries before the real matches begin. With the spectators' whistles demanding his departure, Domenech is feeling under more and more pressure. It must be said that the french team's trainer could always take up poker as he is a fervent fan of this cerebral sport. In fact, Raymond Domenech intends going to the world poker capital: Las Vegas. In a months time, he will take to his heels to measure himself against the best poker players in the world and not in just any tournament because it's the World Series of Poker (WSOP).
Poker: A family story
In the Domenech family, football isn't the only thing Raymond and Estelle, who presented the football programme “100% Football”, have in common, they also have poker. In fact, Estelle has a fondness for poker, a game which has been popular for several years and in the past she has shared her knowledge with the television station Paris Premiere in the programme “Aces Tournament”. Estelle Denis also organises poker tournaments for showbusiness friends mostly of the most popular type : Texas Hold'em Poker.
Domenech discovered poker in 2006 before the world cup and then participated in poker tournaments. At these the French team selector could bump into the ex-Olympique Lyonnais star, Vikash Dhorasoo who has proved himself in this card game by recently being placed third in the Paris Grand Prix. Domenech hopes to participate in the final table at the WSOP called the Main Event but will have to face some big names including many professional poker players.
Domenech states that his “work ( as a technician) has given me the capacity to analyse an opponent”. Seeing the collapse of the blues in football, it appears that the capacity to analyse the opponent isn't really working. It must be said that there is still a friendly match against Turkey and also that Domenech has the rest of his life to perfectly master poker as some would say. When will the blues “coach” get a WSOP or EPT bracelet? To be continued...
