PARIS, March 11 — Karim Benzema has responded to Didier Deschamps’ claim that the striker told him “he wouldn’t have been ready” to play at the World Cup because of an injury by implying the France coach was a “liar”.
“Karim told me himself that he wouldn’t have been ready,” Deschamps told the Parisien newspaper in an interview published on Saturday. “I met Karim in his room with our doctor who had come to give me the report from the scan... Karim was hurt because this World Cup meant a lot to him. He told me, ‘It’s over.’“When leaving I told him, ‘Karim, there’s no rush. Organise your return with the team manager.’ When I woke up I found out he was gone. It’s his decision, he won’t tell you otherwise, I understand and respect it.”
He also shared the video of a popular French influencer, who repeats the words “liar, you are a liar”, while again addressing Deschamps.
