“There are good and bad people in all environments, among teachers, among businessmen, anywhere. Benzema comes from a difficult environment and he got carried away. Karim is a guy I really like. People talk to me about the way he expresses himself, but we take everyone as they are. Football is like that.”
While, Real Madrid manager Zidane has warned France that they cannot afford lose Karim Benzema if they wants to win Euros, as he his irreplaceable.
“France cannot afford to ignore a player of Benzema’s calibre,” Zidane told Le Foot.
“When we look at his numbers and everything he does on the field, we cannot let a player of this level go.”
