There is a Benzema case
According to L’Équipe, the relationship between Deschamps and the Real Madrid player is not the best. The forward has not yet confirmed his presence in the final. “I don’t want to answer that. Next question”. This is how blunt Didier Deschamps was on Wednesday in the press area when asked if Karim Benzema was going to be present at the World Cup final. The coach, with his classic ironic tone, did not want to talk about the Real Madrid striker, who left the French squad before the tournament and who, although he has not played a single minute in the World Cup, continues to appear in the squads, so if France is champion, they will receive their medal. The uncertainty two days after the match against Argentina lies in whether Benzema will travel to Qatar to witness the final on site. According to L’Équipe, the relationship between Deschamps and the striker is not good. The 54-year-old coach does not forget that, after giving a speech at the Ballon d’Or gala, Benzema did not thank him. The relationship has never been perfect and the dressing room of the French team, as reported by L’Équipe, did not notice the injury of the current Ballon d’Or in absentia. Meanwhile, Benzema has not yet confirmed his presence in the final on Sunday. The uncertainty is total until the last minute.
The details
Others, like Paul Pogba or Nkunku, do plan to go to the Lusail stadium to support the French team. Meanwhile, the man from Lyon is training in Madrid fully recovered from the quadriceps injury he suffered just before the start of the World Cup. There are two days to go before the final between Argentina and France and no one dares to say that Benzema will not be in Qatar.
