Euro 2016: Didier Deschamps he will remind Benzema? – Point

This was the main question on the list of 23 for Euro 2016 with the lifting of the judicial supervision of Karim Benzema Friday in the case of the sextape, Didier Deschamps can now consider building its forward line around its figurehead. The reminder of the Real Madrid player would be a relief to Didier Deschamps, who could count on his top scorer and most experienced striker (28 years, 81 caps, 27 goals) to launch an assault on the European trophy home.

while the former Lyon has not always been successful for France, showing its limits at major international events (0 goal in knockout matches of 3 phases finals). But the coach can ill afford to do without a player who weighs 23 goals this season in 24 matches with Real in all competitions.

If Benzema is readmitted blue field will necessarily reduce possible for other contenders for a place in attack in the list of 23, to be unveiled on May 12, knowing that Antoine Griezmann, Olivier Giroud and Anthony Martial are some starters except injuries. There would therefore no longer, in theory, only two places to take, mainly on the right side.

Valbuena is the most difficult cases among the candidates. Weakened by his victim status in the case of the sextape, the former Marseille saw a first exercise in the form of ordeal in Lyon. Can he recover his health and especially can it coexist with Benzema again? Valbuena can be reassured with the comforting words of Deschamps, on 21 February on Canal +: “I do not forget that Matthew made in selection, where it was always efficient, even very efficient Today, that case. the conditioned psychologically and inevitably impaired its performance with Lyon, but it’s still a top player. “
