A real prospect for the French international (81 caps, 27 goals)?

The ball is in Didier Deschamps' court

"It is Didier Deschamps who has the power over the hopes, continued the new coach of FC Nantes, it is he who says yes or who says no."

Here is a stone in the camp of the coach of the Blues, who has not selected the center-forward of Real Madrid for more than five years and a 4-0 victory against Armenia (October 8, 2015).

In great shape with Real Madrid, with whom he scored 15 goals in 25 matches this season, the vice-captain of the Merengues would obviously be a major asset for the selection of Sylvain Ripoll.

The coach of the hopes is also able to select Benzema (33), since three players over 23 years are allowed in each Olympic selection.

The former agent of the Lyon striker also specifies that "Karim has not stopped his international career."

But Raymond Domenech will not comment and insists, the decision is up to the current coach of the Blues.

“I am not in the place of Didier Deschamps.

He's the one who manages it.

I am not a coach. ”
