Karim Benzema continues to express his strong connection with his Algerian roots. This Tuesday, the former French international (97 caps) published on his Instagram account a photo of himself wearing the famous green Fennecs jersey, printed with his name with the number 9. This jersey was given to him last June by the Algerian national team, during a notable visit during his vacation to the country of his parents.
A symbolic gesture appreciated by Algerian fans
This appearance is not the first. In June, while visiting the Algerian team before their match against Guinea, Benzema received this jersey from the Fennecs. The striker from Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, author of 10 goals in 11 matches this season, continues to make an impression not only on the field, but also by publicly displaying his attachment to Algeria.
For Algerian supporters, this new photo reinforces the link between the 2022 Ballon d’Or and their national colors. Although Benzema has turned the page on his career with the French team, his attachment to his roots remains intact, and this wink did not fail to provoke a positive reaction on social networks.
