Didier Deschamps and Christmas Graët decided to deny Karim Benzema for Euro (June 10 July 10). The player is still under investigation in the case of the sextape.
Benzema remains outlawed the Blues. A little less than two months the Euro opening match against Romania (June 10 at the Stade de France), Didier Deschamps and Christmas Graët have ruled. The coach and the president of the French Football Federation (FFF) have jointly decided not to rehabilitate the Real Madrid striker in the France team for the great continental meeting. The 28-year-old, still under investigation in the case of blackmail to sextape, and dismissed the Blues since 10 December, will look at the tournament in his couch. If he has the strength. A huge mess for the most talented French footballer of his generation, called to walk in the footsteps of his illustrious elders Just Fontaine, Michel Platini or Zinedine Zidane.
“ Unfortunately for me and for all those who have always supported me and supported, I will not be selected for our Euro in France , “wrote Karim Benzema on Twitter in the late afternoon, after knowledge of the (bad) news. Earlier today, the former Lyon had published on Facebook a compilation of his best moments in the France team. We saw stacked goals against Honduras and Switzerland in the 2014 World Cup, or capsize happiness Stade de France against Ukraine seven months earlier. A declaration of love for the blue jersey 2.0 unheeded. The Euro will be played without him. Less brilliant in the field but also less sulfur outside, Olivier Giroud and André-Pierre Gignac will have the difficult task of vibrating France. Y arrive they?
The French Football Federation had claimed damages for access to the file when the blackmail case to the sextape in which another player Mathieu Valbuena Bleus suffered, had come to light in October. The evenings were probably long the Legal Service of 85 Boulevard de Grenelle. On Wednesday, the FFF has made its findings. “ The evidence available in this case do not clearly establish the involvement of different actors, including that of Mr Benzema, and he will return to the court to establish the responsibilities of the protagonists. In light of these elements, and the partial lifting of the judicial review of Mr Benzema, making possible again his call for France, there is no obstacle in law, in fact it is selected “ first explains the Federation.
Legally, nothing therefore forbidden to see Karim Benzema replay blue. But Didier Deschamps and Christmas Graët decided otherwise. In recent months, the president of the FFF was more benevolent with Benzema, “ a good guy born in a rough area .” As for Didier Deschamps, he hoped perhaps secretly count on his best striker for the Euro. But in making their decision, the moral and the “ exemplary ” were right in the sports logic. Like the growing public hostility towards Benzema. Polls and vox pops have done their work. Media outlets Manuel Valls also.
“ Based on this analysis, Mr Deschamps and Graët met to discuss the situation of Mr Benzema. The President of the Federation and the coach would recall that athletic performance is an important but not exclusive criterion for deciding the selection in the France team football. The ability of players to work towards unity, in and around the group, and exemplary preservation group are also taken into account by all the Federation of breeders. The result is that Christmas Graët and Didier Deschamps decided that Karim Benzema will not participate in the Euro 201 6 “continues the FFF in a statement.
“Benzema record” classified, Didier Deschamps will now be able to focus exclusively on the conquest of the Henri Delaunay trophy. Remembering that 18 years ago, Aime Jacquet was deprived of two key players, Eric Cantona and David Ginola. This had not prevented to take the Blues on top of the world.
