After the defeat of the French national team in the World Cup final and the end of Karim Benzema's career in the national team, more details emerged from the camp.
Journalist Romain Molina revealed that certain players did not want to see K. Benzema in the national team.
According to the journalist, team captain Hugo Lloris and long-time team player Antoine Griezmann were relieved when the "Real" striker suffered an injury and left the team camp.
These players were also dissatisfied in 2021 when K. Benzema made his return to the national team. The reason for the dissatisfaction is the leadership status of these players in the team.
R. Molina also previously revealed that the return of K. Benzema to the national team was heavily influenced by the country's president Emmanuel Macron. He had discussions with the team coach Didier Deschamps. The coach had the opportunity to bring back the "Real" striker for the semifinals, but chose not to do so.
Finally, it is added that the team's microclimate was disrupted by Benjamin Pavard. He had a lot of criticism for his teammates, behaved disrespectfully, and had a serious conversation with D. Deschamps.
The situation in the French national team now is that D. Deschamps would like to stay in the team until 2026, local media reports.
