Karim Benzema open to the Paris Olympics, Jérôme Rothen skeptical.
Karim Benzema opened the door to participation in the Paris Olympic Games with the French team. The Al Ittihad striker, eligible for a call-up, said: “The Olympics? Why not, of course, it could be great! “.
However, Jérôme Rothen, former Paris Saint-Germain player and consultant for RMC, is skeptical about the 2022 Ballon d'Or's chances of making Thierry Henry's list. He believes that the Saudi Arabian championship is not strong enough to keep Benzema at the best level.
“Karim is no longer at that level today. »
“Karim left for Saudi Arabia and I think it’s not a championship that allows you to stay at the best level. With all the talent he has, even his club wasn't happy with his performances. For that alone, I don’t see how he could be competitive to be in Thierry Henry’s list”he explained.
“Because the goal for Thierry is not to take a name but to take players who will transform you and allow you to be much more efficient, adds the 2004 European vice-champion. The level will be raised and Karim is no longer at that level today. (…) We saw it at the CAN, all the players who were in Saudi Arabia and came to the CAN were not at the level. »
