The absence of Karim Benzema from the French national team at the Qatar World Cup was a huge blow to the “Roosters” and their aspirations to defend the title of world champion, and although they reached the final, the impression remains that the result in the final against Argentina could have been different if the Real Madrid striker was there.
Today, many months after Qatar, the public in France and beyond learn that Benzema was not happy about the fact that coach Deschamps left him out for the World Cup due to injury, because he wanted to stay, although the coach claims otherwise in an interview with the media french.
“Karim told me that for him the World Cup is the end of history. The diagnosis of the National team doctor coincided with the diagnosis of Real’s doctor. Benzema would not be able to recover until December 10. Then I told him not to rush, but he already left the next morning,” said Deschamps to “La Parisien”, broadcast lajmi.net.
Benzema seems not to have liked these words of the coach, who has posted exactly this statement of Deschamps on his Instagram profile with the comment “what courage” using also an “emoji” picture of a palace.
