A former OL player believes that Karim Benzema does not behave properly with his club Al-Ittihad.
Karim Benzema left Saudi Arabia two weeks ago and he is in no hurry to return. Having gone on vacation with his family, the French striker did not show up for the resumption of training. Officially, it’s because his plane was grounded in Reunion.
“Benzema should have warned his coach”
The management of Al-Ittihad clearly did not believe this excuse, since the player has just been sanctioned. Marcelo Gallardo, the coach, even ruled out the Frenchman for the rest of the training in Dubai.
So, is Benzema at fault? According to Sidney Govou, his former partner at Lyon, there is no doubt about this. “I think he should have told his coach. It proves that communication is not good,” he declared on Sunday on Canal+.
Govou is not the only one to blame KB9 for his recent attitude. Laure Boulleau, the columnist for the encrypted channel, also expressed her fed up. “I really hope this isn’t some lame excuse.” If it’s not blocked, it’s going to be a stain.” she said in an angry tone.
Present on the same set, Mickaël Landreau tried to calm his colleagues by asserting that in any case “Benzema does what he wants.” “Karim, he is used to being under such pressure. It’s been his whole career, he recalled. He will do as he wants. There will be this ambiguity the exceptional player he has, and the media relationship and the interaction with the group. And everything that revolves around Karim.”
