Benzema 'passes' the French Federation: “I prefer to laugh”

Karim Benzema has taken with humor the surprising statements of Noel Le Graet, president of the French Football Federation, who has praised the season of the Real Madrid striker, months after publicly confirming that he would not play for the national team again. In recent years, there have been continuous tensions between the footballer and the sports leaders of his country and, for this reason, the '9' target 'passes' the qualifications that are now poured on his sports performance. “I'd rather laugh,” he wrote on his Twitter..

In an interview with RMC Sport, Noel Le Graet spoke about Real Madrid football and the impact of the former French international on him: “Benzema has completed the best season of his career. He has been exceptional with Real Madrid. I have already congratulated Zidane, who is his coach. Right now it is one of the best. If it's the best? It is not for me to judge because I have not seen all the matches. “

Regardless of his words and the truce in the belligerent positions, Karim Benzema's stage with the French team seems to be over. At 32, he still has a lot of football in his boots and the reasons for his absence are related to the 'Valbuena case'. Although a long time has passed since then, there has been no reconciliation by either side.
