Karim Benzema was skeptical before the praise received from the president of the Football Federation of his country, Noel Le Graet , who highlighted the great season carried out by the Real Madrid forward, and assured, in his official Twitter account, that he prefers " laugh".
"Benzema has completed the best season of his career. He has been exceptional with Real Madrid. Right now he is one of the best," said the president in an interview with RMC Sport despite the fact that months ago he said that the stage of the Frenchman in the selection was finished.
The Real Madrid striker has not played for France since October 8, 2015 , against Armenia in a match in which he scored two goals and gave an assist, after the 'Valbuena case' that is still in progress came to light.
Furthermore, on July 7, the Versailles Prosecutor's Office asked Benzema to be tried for "complicity in an attempt to blackmail" for his alleged involvement in the blackmail of his then selection partner Matthieu Valbuena, known as the 'Valbuena case', according to His lawyer, Sylvain Cormier, informed EFE.
After this, his calls with France ended and it does not seem that he will return despite the great level that, at 32 years old, he is showing with Madrid. Without going any further, the striker has scored 26 goals and has distributed 11 assists so far this season , with the Champions League still to be concluded.
For this reason, Benzema retweeted with comment the tweet of the French medium in which he alluded to the words of Le Graet writing a "Je préfère en rire" (I prefer to laugh) along with three laughing emoticons.
A reaction that comes while enjoying the week of vacation that his compatriot Zinedine Zidane gave them after winning the League title and that he enjoys with friends and his daughter, as he shares in his official account on Instagram.
The footballers regain strength in the face of the knockout round of the 'Champions' against Manchester City on August 7 (9:00 p.m. CEST) in which Madrid have to overcome a 1-2 against the one way if you want to continue alive in the competition in which you accumulate 13 titles, the most.
