Daniel Riolo, French journalist from RMC, spoke about the handling of Karim Benzema’s injury by Didier Deschamps and the French federation before the start of the World Cup. “They asked him to force training when he didn’t want to. He got injured again. For me it was a relapse. But he could have been on the bench for the round of 16, and in the quarterfinals he would have been fully operational ”.
The journalist also explained that some of the decisions of the French coaching staff did not please the heavyweights of the team: “There is a truth that must be said. Karim Benzema deserved more respect. We took him for an idiot and kicked him out. Some players like Lloris, Griezmann or Giroud did not dislike that he left, “he argued.
“Deschamps did not want Benzema and his return to the national team. He doesn’t know how to manage the personalities and the different egos that he may have in a locker room. He is strong in building a group, which is not the same. Benzema represented a problem for him, ”he concluded.
It must be remembered that France was runner-up in the world and that many think that with the madridista in the team the chances of winning the title would have been greater. (D)
