Ballon d’Or Karim Benzema, package for the World Cup, posted a message of support for the France team on Sunday on social media, ensuring that he was “behind” his partners in search of a double in the Coupe du world.
“Come on guys, 2 more games we’re almost there… behind you,” he wrote on Instagram and Twitter. His message is accompanied by a visual of the French Federation where Aurélien Tchouaméni, Antoine Griezmann and Olivier Giroud appear in particular.
Touched in the thigh in training a few days before the first match of the Blues, the Real Madrid striker had not yet spoken publicly about the World Cup since his departure from Qatar, unlike several absentees, like Paul Pogba, Mike Maignan or Presnel Kimpembe.
“In my life I have never given up but tonight I have to think about the team as I have always done, so reason tells me to leave my place”, he wrote the evening of his package. .
The Ballon d’Or spent a few days on vacation in Reunion and resumed training with Real Madrid on Saturday, the day of the quarter-final won by the Blues against England at the World Cup. He is still on the official list of the Blues in Qatar, which makes him eligible for a medal in the event of a new world title for the French, opposed to Morocco in the semi-finals on Wednesday.
