"I will not be selected for our Euro in France," said Karim Benzema on Twitter the day before yesterday. The Federation confirmed this decision a few minutes later.
Noël Le Graët, the president of the FFF, and Didier Deschamps, the coach, met last Wednesday and continued to chat by phone before making their decision, explained by these words: "The president and the coach would like to remind you that sports performance is an important but not exclusive criterion for deciding on selection within the France team.
