Karim Benzema is on the verge of returning to the France team, but he will eventually return to pose a series of organizational problems with Didier Deschamps.
Karim Benzema’s communication is not as simple as it can be understood and interpreted. But sometimes it is crystal clear. Interview published this Friday in The Team belongs to the second category. Although he has not worn the French team jersey since his hasty departure from Qatar just before the start of the 2022 World Cup, he said he was ready to return.
An open door can be a scenario with very little chance of coming true. And it’s not quite the same as Didier Deschamps, it’s interesting to see how to bring back the tricolor in the event of the return of « KB9 ». A return is made to the winner of the 2022 Ballon d’Or with a view to the title for the selection.
Karim Benzema’s title with the Blues means he has a major impact on the captain. Kylian Mbappé wants to return to the left lane to relax the ax to a Benzema whose profile corresponds to the positioning. This also applies to the hypothesis of the sealed entry and the return of Benzema.
Benzema back, the attack remodeled
With a tricolor defense for both arms, Kylian Mbappé positions himself in a lane, with good defense against the efforts of the defense, which is also a point that has a series quite reflected by Didier Deschamps. In a 4-2-3-1 system, Ousmane Dembélé passes into the right lane, while Michael Olise could be the direct support of Karim Benzema on the axis.
On the other hand, Désiré Doué would no longer have his place in the starting lineup. Ditto for Bradley Barcola. As for the French attackers who please Didier Deschamps and are capable of playing in the middle, they would all suffer from the arrival of the Al-Ittihad player. Would be concerned: Hugo Ekitike, Randal Kolo Muani, Marcus Thuram or even Jean-Philippe Mateta.
