Les Bleus booed in friendly fixture
01/06/2006: France star Patrick Vieira says he thinks he will be at the top of his game for the World Cup despite another poor performance in the warm-up game against Denmark were many of the team were booed by the home crowd.
The Juventus midfielder lasted the full 90 minutes in a dull clash against the Scandinavians which was settled by a Thierry Henry strike in the first half and a Sylvain Wiltord penalty in the second.
The 29-year-old felt he played alright and he is now over the injury problems that have plagued him all season. Vieira said: "I feel fine now. The start of my season in Italy was great, but after that I had problems and that handicapped me until the end of the season.
"But I am really happy with the way I finished the football season with Juve.
"I've had a few days break and now I am with the French squad. My muscle problems are a thing of the past."
The French have just one more friendly game before they kick-off their World Cup bid against Switzerland on June 13. Vieira used the match against Denmark in Lens on Wednesday to build his match fitness, playing the whole match in the 2-0 victory.
However, despite the former Gunner and France coach Raymond Domenech being happy with how preparations are going the fans were not so pleased last night as several players were booed during the performance against the Danes.
Vieira continued: "But we are getting used to this sort of thing. It's disappointing because they were against players who have done much for the French team.
"Some of them even won the World Cup. A player like Fabien Barthez is a living legend and to boo him is really a shame."
