Sunday, in Téléfoot, the boss of the Blues refused to put a coin in the machine to revive the controversy: “

I am not in the controversy.

I was brought to speak to say what had happened.

But that's a thing of the past for me.

Today, what is important is what is in front of us with the 23 players I have selected, in whom I have confidence in relation to the two games (Netherlands on March 24, Ireland on 27) that we have to play.

Karim Benzema will not be part of this selection since he announced after the World Cup in Qatar to retire internationally, after having followed the course of the Blues until the final.

But the case could however know a new episode.

Speaking to his Instagram followers, Benzema recently indicated that he is open to speaking out on the subject.

"

Well, I'm going to have to explain myself to the people

", could we read on his account.
