Karim Benzema’s lack of goals for the French national team and his overall performance have led to a decline in support from French fans. According to a poll by L’Equipe, 90% of respondents (11,543 voters) are against starting Benzema in the upcoming match against Belarus. Criticisms include his goal drought, as well as concerns about his behavior on and off the field. Notably, the president of the French Football Federation, Noël Le Graët, expressed disappointment in Benzema’s attitude and effectiveness. Djibril Cissé, another French international striker, also commented on the situation. The decision of whether Benzema will start in the next match ultimately rests with coach Didier Deschamps.
