The crazy rumor of a return of Karim Benzema in Blue before the end of the World Cup in Qatar did not last long.
On Monday, Spanish media indicated that the Ballon d'Or injury was less serious than initially announced by the France team (a tear in the left thigh), and that the Madrid player could very soon return to the field.
The announcement this Tuesday of the arrival of KB9 in Reunion to spend a few days there showered the followers of blissful optimism, definitively deprived of their illusions by Didier Deschamps.
A case that "does not concern our daily lives"
Inevitably questioned on the subject at a press conference on the eve of a last match without pressure against Tunisia, the coach has put things right.
"It's not something that occupies my mind," he said.
I spoke with Karim after his departure [November 20], you know his situation and the timeframe for him to recover.
I don't know where you want to go with your question, I take care of those who are there”.
But still ?
“I let you talk about it, debate it, imagine it.
I'm not going to comment on stuff that doesn't concern our daily lives.
» Full stop.
No thanks to our Spanish colleagues who (again) spoke for nothing.
