Accordingly, Olivier Giroud expressed his regret for Karim Benzema when he left the French team in a “no trumpet no drum” way like just now.
Specifically, the former Arsenal and Chelsea striker expressed: “It’s a pity for Benzema to end up like this. However, it is his choice and we cannot put ourselves in his place.
However, if you look back at Benzema’s entire career, what he did for France, for the club, he deserves a better ending but like I said, it was his decision. .

Benzema is still an important player for us. We still want to choose the best possible ending for everyone. If Benzema wants to retire from the team, that should be respected. Benzema may no longer want to continue his journey with France.
Of course, that doesn’t affect me and I won’t say too much about it. However, in any case, seeing someone like Benzema leave the team is very sad.”
