We take Benzema for an idiot.

Journalist Daniel Riolo accuses Deschamps and the French Federation

He added that the coach did not know how to manage the personalities of the dressing room

RMC journalist Daniel Riolo criticized coach Didier Deschamps and the French Federation for the administration carried out in the Karim Benzema case, Who expelled him from Qatar due to his injury and did not invite him to attend the final. “They asked him to be forced to train when he didn’t want to. He was injured again. For me it was a setback. But he could have sat on the bench in the round of 16, and in the quarter-finals he would have worked at full capacity.

He added that some of the decisions taken by the federation created division in the locker room: “There is a truth to be said. Karim Benzema deserves more respect. We took him for a fool and kicked him out. Some players like Lloris, Griezmann and Giroud did not hate his departure.

Finally, he admitted that Deschamps made a decision that went against his idea: Deschamps did not want Benzema and his return to the national team. He doesn’t know how to manage the different personalities and egos that might be present in the dressing room. He is strong at building a group, which is not itself. He concluded that Benzema is a problem for him. “We must remember that France was second in the world and that many believe that with the madridistas in the team the chances of winning the title were greater”.

The split after this incident between Benzema and Deschamps is now known.
