‘Forget about me’ – Benzema to French football president
Karim Benzema made clear on Wednesday that he wishes Noel Le Graet, the president of the French football association , would stop talking about him .“Monsieur Le Graet, I ask you to forget about me . ” the Real Madrid striker , who has not played for France since 2015, tweeted .
Le Graet had said in an interview with French newspapers that the 30 -year – old Benzema ’ s time with Les Bleus “ was finished. ”
Benzema ’ s answering tweet went on: “France are world champions and that ’ s the essential thing, the rest is just futile . Thankyou , ” before adding the French and English hashtags : “CaSuffit ” (“ That will do ”) and “ GiveMeABreak ”.
Benzema , who has 21 goals and 81 caps for France , was not selected for the World Cup and has not figured in a national squad since he was charged for his alleged role in the blackmail of fellow international Mathieu Valbuena .
“I have nothing against Karim , ” said Le Graet. “He has always carried himself well in the French team , but I think Les Bleus are over for him , especially since he may be less fit than before. ”
In May , after Le Graet said in an interview with AFP that the striker was “ ancient history ” , Benzema again responded on Twitter.
“Monsieur Le Graet, with all the respect that I owe you , you have missed an opportunity to shut up, ” he wrote .
Benzema is awaiting a ruling from a Paris court on whether he has a case to answer in the long – running Valbuena “ sex – tape ” affair .
