Like he has always been, Karim Benzema remains sensitive to the technical quality of a player when it comes to judging him. Suffice to say that he is served when he watches the French team’s matches. In an interview given to The Teamthe former French international revealed the players who made him tick, and there are several of them.
“Ousmane DembĂ©lĂ©, we’re still talking about a guy who won the Ballon d’Or. And we don’t talk about it enough, in my opinion. (…) He wasn’t necessarily the guy about whom you would say one day: “Maybe he’ll win the Ballon d’Or…” He was far from that. But, ultimately, he proved otherwise. So I really like this playerhe confided, before continuing. Michael Olise is a good player too. Rayan Cherki, it’s magnificent. Cherki, I like it because it’s this type of player that the France team needs, sometimes. He tries things… Of course, afterwards, you have to tell him that there are areas. But hey, he has Pep Guardiola as a coach, he will succeed.»
