No one will say it out loud, although it is clear to everyone: Karim Benzema is done with playing for the national team.Not a surprise, considering everything that happened after the Real Madrid striker’s injury before the start of the World Cup, which caused him to miss the tournament in Doha. Again, not that explicitly, as if the attacker himself wants to leave the possibility of wearing the Les Bleus shirt again.##NAJAVA_MECA_6893202##So far, only a message on social networks which hints at saying goodbye to the jersey of the French national squad.”I tried, I made mistakes, which allowed me to be where I am today. I’m proud of that. I wrote my story, and ours is coming to an end,” Benzema pointed out with a photo in the jersey of the national team for which he played 97 matches and scored 37 goals.The short circuit between Karim Benzema and Didier Deschamps happened when the national team’s strategist decided not to take the striker to Doha, despite the Ballon d’Or winner’s assurances that he might be ready for the elimination phase. Deschamps ignored such announcements, refused to talk about Benzema at all, regardless of the constant questioning of journalists, Karim himself spoke with the same words that the commander-in-chief used when the debate opened about whether he would come to the final. Both of them said “I’m not interested”. That’s why it seems that it all snapped there. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Karim Benzema (@karimbenzema) This is how Benzema’s second term among Les Bleus ended. The first lasted from 2007 to 2015, when it was interrupted due to an affair during which it was established that he blackmailed his national team colleague Mathieu Valbuena. In May last year, Benzema was forgiven, he himself acted conciliatory, was even quite productive for Les Bleus – he was one of the decisive factors in winning the Nations League. However…After the World Cup in Qatar, it seems to be the end. Karim Benzema published this message on the day he celebrates his 35th birthday, so it is clear that during the end of his career we will see him only in the Real Madrid jersey.
