Real Madrid boss Zidane: Benzema should be in France squad
Posted Monday, November 11, 2019 by Tribalfootball.com
Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane says Karim Benzema should be in the France squad.
The Madrid frontman has not featured at international level since he was allegedly involved in a plot to blackmail his then-France team-mate Mathieu Valbuena.
Zidane claims Benzema still wants to represent France, though, and believes his player to be "the best" and worthy of a call-up.
"He's always wanted to play for the French side," Zidane told a news conference. "To be honest, I don't know exactly what's going on.
"But from a football point of view, he's the best. I think he should definitely have a place in the French national team. It's beyond my role here, but he should definitely be called up."
