France coach Raymond Domenech will wait until the last minute before naming his team to face Spain in Hanover on Tuesday but has called on Zinedine Zidane to produce his best in the game.

The 34-year-old Real Madrid midfielder is available for the match after serving his suspension and could be making his final appearance for Les Bleus before retiring.

"The fact that it could be Zidane's last match isn't really the issue for us now," said Domenech. "This is a game for the entire team in the second round of the World Cup and I'm expecting something special from him.

"I'm asking him to use his talent to help the team as I ask all the players and not just because it could be his final match.

"The trick is to know at what moment Spain are going to release their team. It's not a game. They announce a team, I'm waiting to see it. We'll see what happens, we have to look at how it pans out with the opposition.

"It's not a question of adapting to it but you have to weigh up your rivals' strengths and weaknesses, that's important.

"I'm keen to know how they're going to play to know what to tell my players, how to tell them and who to tell."
