“You talk too much”: Karim Benzema tackles Jérôme Rothen

Karim Benzema and Jérôme Rothen will not go on vacation together. The proof during an altercation between the two men on social networks. KB9’s week was outstanding from start to finish. Within days he lifted the Ballon d’Or, won the Golden Man and won against Elche. And, above all, FC Barcelona.

A perfect week which was somewhat ruined by the columnist Jérôme Rothen. On RMC Sport, the former PSG player estimated that Mbappé remained the leader of the France team. “Benzema was brilliant. But he was also disappointing. In the France team, we have more certainties with Mbappé than Benzema”started the ex-international. “He scores more and is more decisive than any striker. He is essential”he added.

Words which, obviously, did not please the new Ballon d’Or. As he stated in an Instagram story with a scathing: “You talk way too much…stay focused”.

During his speech, Jérôme Rothen also wanted to temper his remarks. “These polls exist to fuck up the mess because it creates a war of egos. For me the most important thing is that all the attackers we have mentioned perform well together with chemistry between them.”

Statements that the Benz did not retain. The striker is not expected to return to the host’s show anytime soon.
