While several players from the French football team intervened to appeal for calm following the riots caused by the death of a young boy shot dead by a police officer, Karim Benzema showed off his Rolex watch on his social networks.
” The people’s golden ball he said. Zero position and on exhibition of his fortune. “By broadcasting a video Friday highlighting his luxury watch, Karim Benzema caused a stir on social networks, including among those who share his opinions. Because while France was ablaze, including the city of Lyon where it has its roots, and several star footballers, including Kylian Mbappé, called for calm, the Ballon d’Or seemed far from all these concerns. Enough to raise real irritation, even if Karim Benzema is now in Saudi Arabia. So, some expressed their anger towards the one who had proclaimed himself ” People’s Golden Ball “When he received the trophy for the best footballer in the world in 2022

His lack of reaction both to the death of a young 17-year-old boy, but also to the chaos it unleashed in his country, surprises and disappoints. ” Who do you think he’s addressing when he talks about the people’s golden ball? The one from Spain? I do not believe. It’s just a facade speech. Let him do what he wants with his sorrel, but beware of populist postures. The people of the neighborhoods are not stupid (…) He puts much more emphasis on his personal wealth than any conviction or commitment. It’s not a Ballon d’Or that we should have awarded him, but an Oscar “says, for example, ily@s3, appalled by this. He is not the only one to express his dissatisfaction under the message and the video of Karim Benzema. ” Meskine France in riot mode and the guy shows us the Rolex meskine “, also notes Here it is 93.
Benzema and France, a sensitive subject
Many are those who are disappointed by the attitude of KB9, especially in relation to his religion. However, Benzema has a few backers who are a reminder that France have turned their backs on the striker in recent years and he has every right not to interfere. ” He is right not to commit Benzema, he is hated in the media and if he takes a position, they will distort his remarks and attack him (…) Everyone commits sins, no one is perfect and in his place, we would do the same or worse », points out @PSGBuxelles. The debate is in any case intense, proof if it were needed that Karim Benzema was a divisive subject in France.
