Karim Benzema Should Reinforce the France National Team Again

DBasia.news –  Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said Karim Benzema was worthy of strengthening the French national team.

Benzema has actually been absent from defending the French national team since 2015. At that time Benzema tripped over a case. He allegedly attempted to blackmail fellow French players, Mathieu Valbuena. This then put Benzema under formal investigation.

France national team coach, Didier Deschamps, until now still keep Benzema on the blacklist. The reason, he looked at it for the good of the French national team. Benzema was not transported when the French national team appeared at the 2018 World Cup and became champion.

Responding to the Benzema case, Zidane explained that he did not really understand. However, when it comes to quality, Zidane is very confident that his players are worthy of joining Les Bleus. Moreover, Benzema himself has a strong desire to defend his country.

Rather than choosing Benzema, Deschamps was actually more comfortable using Olivier Giroud as the main attacker. In fact, at the club level, Benzema displays a more promising performance. Of the 14 games that Benzema has played this season, he managed to score nine goals.

“He always wants to play for France. I honestly don’t know exactly what happened but from a soccer standpoint, he is the best and I think he must definitely get a place in the national team. That (the authority to choose a player for the French national team) outside my position here, but the matter of football, there is no debate,” said Zidane, adapted from the New Indiana Express, Saturday (11/09/2019).
