The one who played 27 times in the blue jersey with the 2022 Ballon d’Or thinks his former partner should have returned to training later. “We didn’t necessarily need Benzema for Australia, Tunisia or Denmark. He’s a player who takes you to the next level, we needed him for the knockout matches.»
Finally, Samir Nasri, saddened by this news, insists on the age of his former teammate. A relapse that seems logical to him. “I find that really damaging. He didn’t have to be pushed. He played more than 60 games last season, it’s normal that he feels a certain fatigue, he is 34 years old. I don’t think he should be pushed.»
