Benzema still dreams of a comeback in blue: "He's been waiting for six years," assures his advisor

On May 18, Didier Deschamps will reveal the list of players selected for the Euro (June 11-July 11). Karim Benzema, sparkling with Real Madrid, in La Liga as in the Champions League, should not be part of the blue group. The 81st and last selection of the Madrilenian dates from October 8, 2015 (a victory for the France team 4-0 against Armenia, in Nice). Karim Djaziri, advisor and former agent of Karim Benzema, invited this Thursday to the After Foot on RMC, once again recalled the attachment of the former Lyonnais to the blue jersey. And targeted the person responsible for the absence of his protégé in the France team, Noël Le Graët, the president of the French Federation, assuring that Didier Deschamps was "very close" to Karim Benzema. “It was a father-son relationship. He was her boyfriend. " Djaziri has, on RMC,told that Karim Benzema asked him in 2017 to organize a meeting in order to settle the dispute: “I called the president, but he did not want to organize this meeting. (...) We do not even know if he knows about it ”.

Zidane and Micoud also put pressure on Deschamps

Still in the running to become the first French “pichichi” of the Spanish championship (he points to 4 goals from Lionel Messi), Karim Benzema has seen, in recent weeks, misunderstanding spreading. Johan Micoud had, on L'Equipe TV, not hesitated to request explanations from Didier Deschamps, his former captain, about the absence of the Real Madrid striker: “Why does he not want it? He's an offensive play facilitator, that's what the France team lacks but we can't actually talk about it? I'm sick of him not answering me, not giving that reason. Let him tell me something and then we don't talk about it any more. " Zinedine Zidane questioned at a press conference in March, had expressed his incomprehension about the absence of his striker in blue: "How to understand it ... You do not understand it (in s'addressing a journalist), I don't understand it and many do not understand it. But hey ... for me who coach Real, it's better that he stays with us, that's for sure. "

At 33, Karim Benzema, haunted by the sextape affair (he will appear before the Versailles Criminal Court, from October 20 to 22) continues his parallel route.

With its flashes and balls.

Far from the Blues.

Still in the race in La Liga (3 points behind Atlético Madrid) and in the Champions League (semi-final first leg against Chelsea, this Tuesday).

Unmissable.

And left behind in the France team.

If the door opened, Karim Benzema would rush in.

Karim Djaziri assured RMC: “Of course.

(...) He has been ready for six years.

He's been waiting six years.

He is a player who loves football too much. "
