In a video posted on Youtube on Thursday evening, journalist Romain Molina returned to the discomfort surrounding the presence of Karim Benzema in the French team, and his departure even at the start of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Karim Benzema in Blues, it’s over.
Throughout the World Cup in Qatar, the name of Karim Benzema has often made headlines, even though the star striker of the French team, injured in the thigh, had left the group of Blues and Doha before the start of the competition. How to explain this precipitate from the Ballon d’Or? And this sometimes clumsy communication around his absence, even though the Spanish press assured that the center forward was fit to play part of the tournament?
Many rumors have already been mentioned. And Thursday evening, the journalist Romain Molina, known for his sometimes controversial investigations, confirmed the recent information revealed by the Iberian media by evoking an obvious uneasiness around the 35-year-old striker. In particular concerning his departure from the group on November 19th.
Benzema’s departure would have been rushed…
Rather than increasing the pressure on his group and focusing media attention on the physical condition of his star, coach Didier Deschamps would have sought avoid a problem by asking his staff to seal the package of KB9, lo the staff of Real Madrid strongly opposed such a verdict. How to explain such an action? Molina went back to the source, explaining that the problem came from different orders from the FFF and that the first concerns about Benzema dated back to May 2021, when Deschamps had agreed to reinstate the Real Madrid star for Euro 2020.
Forced an almost forced choice due to the radiant sports performance of the striker in Spain, Deschamps, who did not make a return from the native of Bron his first idea , chose to recall the one who will have been banned for almost six years from the selection, by consulting four executives to validate his choice: Hugo Lloris, Antoine Griezmann, Paul Pogba and Olivier Giroud. A potential return that did not necessarily delight the 2018 world champions, even if none of them, however, vetoed.
Jealousy among executives?
From then on, a certain form of irritation, even jealousy could have arisen around the success of the former Lyonnais, adds the journalist. Through an example, that of Griezmann. We put too much emphasis on Karim Benzema. There is almost a meeting of the executive council of the Fd for Twitter visuals before the Euro because Mr. Griezmann was not happy: we did not see him enough. You have the impression that football players today are guys from tl-realitylaments Molina again.
If such assertions are proven, we would therefore understand that the return of Benzema to the France team had never frankly aroused joy among the indestructible Deschamps, perhaps irritated to see the light slip away from them… Whatever happens, Above all, these new elements confirm that the career of Madrid’s number 9 in the selection has never been a long calm river.
