The day after Karim Benzema’s package for the 2022 World Cup, former French international Samir Nasri pointed to the management of the striker by the tricolor staff.
Nasri believes that the Benzema case could have been handled better.
It’s not even on an acceleration or a strike… (…) it can unfortunately happen to have a problem, to get injured. (…) It’s not a relapse.
Present this Sunday on the Tlfoot set, the coach of the France team, Didier Deschamps, tried to cut short any controversy over Karim Benzema’s package for the 2022 World Cup (see here).
Nasri wanted to preserve Benzema
Homeless for several weeks, the Real Madrid striker was forced to give up after injuring his left thigh on Saturday for his return to collective training. While the technician assures that the process of resuming the recent Ballon d’Or was under control and points to a certain fatality, his arguments did not convince the former French international Samir Nasri. A member of the famous 1987 generation, like KB9, the Canal+ consultant suspects the management of the Blues of having wanted to rush the resumption of Merengue. According to him, it might have been wiser to spare the ex-Lyonnais during the entire group stage.
A mismanagement ?
Marabout, I don’t know. Anyway, I got him yesterday, he was upset but I think the management was bad with him dropped the former Gunner. He is a special player who requires special attention. We didn’t necessarily need Benzema for Australia, Tunisia and Denmark. He’s a player who takes you up a level and so we needed him for the direct elimination matches. I find that really damaging. It was not necessary to push him, he is a player, last season, who played almost 60 games, it is normal that he feels a certain fatigue, he is 34 years old. So I don’t think it was necessary to push for this start to the competition.
Did the medical and technical staff of the world champions really pull the strings with the striker? Or did he rather attach too much importance to the feelings of Madrid, who had made this World Cup a major objective and who was ready to do anything to compete in it, even if it means listening less to the signals sent by his body? For now, many questions remain unanswered…
