Karim Benzema’s departure from the France team rally still remains a mystery. One of his collaborators in a totally different field assures that it is the French striker, and not the tricolor staff, who chose to drop everything!
Karim Benzema and the Blues, it’s over for this year 2022. For the moment, the great return of the Real Madrid striker is not going as planned, while his collaboration with Kylian Mbappé had promised fire to the defenses of the world entire. This was not the case at the last Euro, and apart from a success in the League of Nations, it is a safe bet that KB9 missed the opportunity to play the last World Cup of his career. So often praised for his professionalism and his ability to never miss a match, the former Olympique Lyonnais has never been able to recover from a muscular problem in the thigh. And when he seemed ready to accelerate again, it was the other thigh that cracked, causing his final withdrawal.
The return falls apart in 24 hours
Nevertheless, since his relapse just before the start of the World Cup, several dissenting voices have been raised. First of all on the fact that the French team chose not to replace him, which made it possible to maintain the somewhat crazy dream of an express recovery in Spain and why not a return for the days to come if his physical health allows it. His departure on vacation for Reunion Island completely made people forget this prospect in a few hours, even if the player obviously took care to post a message on social networks indicating that he was already working on his return.
In addition to this, another controversy erupted with the revelations of L’Equipe on the fact that the atmosphere within the Blues was much more relaxed since Karim Benzema left the group. The Madrid player’s clan reacted strongly, accusing the media of making money off the back of the Ballon d’Or when there had been no escalation of problems within the tricolor group so far.
Benzema chose to leave Qatar!
At a time when the World Cup continues without Karim Benzema, another light has been shed by Fabien Onteniente, director of successful films and who is preparing the sequel to the famous “3 Zeros” which dates from 20 years ago. Asked by Le Parisien, the director who also made “Camping” plans to take KB9 in his film which will focus on football and the world that revolves around this sport. Fabien Onteniente and Karim Benzema have already seen each other several times for this collaboration which would obviously make a lot of talk. But the man of cinema took advantage of a question about the French striker to explain that the latter, even if he was not injured as seriously as that, probably preferred to withdraw from the Blues so as not to harm to the players of Didier Deschamps.
“ His injury? It doesn’t seem so serious. I’m not in the secrets but I have the impression that it was not much. Everyone was talking about his injury. It could have become toxic for the group. He’s an honest guy, he preferred not to pollute the team and left of his own free will. His departure relieved everyone. All this will be forgotten with the victory, on December 18., delivered the one who also collaborates with Karim Djaziri, the former agent of Karim Benzema, for the writing of his film. The opinion of Fabien Onteniente will certainly have the merit of reacting, because it seems difficult to imagine Karim Benzema giving up the World Cup to make room and peace for the Blues, if he still had the slightest bit left hope of playing a single minute in Qatar.
