I am punished while I am a victim. “

Claude Le Roy did not cleaning the Real Madrid player. The words Valbuena “Benzema condemn in advance, told AFP the coach of Congo. Valbuena has an exemplary career for someone who wants to get there. Benzema is the anti-Valbuena: all smiles at a young age and it seems that he takes pleasure in damaging things “

Roy shows however. not worried about the emergence of rifts between pro and anti-Benzema in the France group.
