Most of the football personalities in France advocate a Ballon d’Or for Karim Benzema. The last to join this campaign has been Zinedine Zidane, former coach of Real Madrid and the striker of the white team and who has granted an interview to Telefoot in which he has ensured that the award is deserved by the former Lyon player.
“Benzema deserves to win the Ballon d’Or. He is an incredible player, I have had the great honor of coaching him. He knows how to do it all on the pitch. He is above the rest, I hope he can be rewarded with the Ballon d’Or. Right now, Benzema is on a cloud. I would give him the Ballon d’Or “, Zidane stressed in the Telefoot program that is broadcast every Sunday on TF1.
On November 29, in Paris, the prestigious Ballon d’Or gala will be held, organized every year by France Football magazine. In the same, Benzema is one of the great favorites to be awarded together with Lewandowski and Leo Messi and practically the majority of the French want the Real Madrid striker to be awarded. It would be the first French Ballon d’Or after Zidane’s in 1998.
