Not present in Marcelo Gallardo’s group to compete in the Asian Champions League with Al-Ittihad, Karim Benzema was questioned by Bertrand Latour.
New episode in the imbroglio which has lasted for several weeks between Karim Benzema and his club Al-Ittihad. After a return (much later than expected) at the beginning of February, the Frenchman was this time excluded from the group concocted by his coach, Marcelo Gallardo, with a view to Al-Ittihad’s participation in the Asian Champions League. If the OL native indicated that he would speak on the subject in the coming weeks, some do not want to wait that long and are asking him for clarification.
Channel journalist The Team, Bertrand Latour raised the subject on the air this Wednesday. For him, the 2022 Ballon d’Or would be well advised to clarify things as quickly as possible. “ I think that Benzema must communicate as quickly as possible so that we understand elements that we do not have in our possession, and above all that a solution can be found quickly because this is the swan song . It’s getting very, very sad. He doesn’t deserve this. »
A bee-eater
For the observer, KB9 is seeing the end of his career be spoiled by the situation. “ He was Ballon d’Or not that long ago. I want him to get out of this mess because it no longer looks like anything. » Karim Benzema will therefore not be in Uzbekistan this Thursday (3 p.m.) for the round of 16 first leg of the Asian Champions League between the premises of Navbahor Namangan and his club Al-Ittihad.
Will it be three days later during the Saudi Pro League match against Al Riyadh? For now, nothing is less certain. The mystery surrounding the continuation of his adventure in Al-Ittihad remains unsolved.
