The idea of ​​seeing Karim Benzema in Paris next summer does not appeal to some consultants. Daniel Riolo was particularly very acerbic.

What if we saw Karim Benzema again in the Blues jersey? The 2022 Ballon d'Or, currently exiled in Saudi Arabia, is watching for the opportunity to compete in the Olympic Games at home and would like, like Kylian Mbappé, Antoine Griezmann and others, to participate. On Wednesday, Bleuets coach Thierry Henry and his president Philippe Diallo opened the door to him. A door that Daniel Riolo would like to see closed.

“No one knows what form he is in since he left the World Cup in the middle of the night. He's been in trouble for a year and a half and hasn't played much. (His club statistics) are nothing! We don't know anything about him.” thus criticizes the famous consultant of RMC.

To participate in the coveted event, Karim Benzema should be one of the three jokers over 23 years old. The decision will therefore belong to Thierry Henry, but also to his club Al-Ittihad, which can oppose the native of Bron.
