Former striker "lele" Erik Cantona believes that the head coach of the Frenchman Didier Deschamps should be called into the national team striker Real Madrid Karim Benzema.

Benzema has not played for the French national team since October 2015 after becoming one of the figurants of the sex scandal around Mathieu Valbuena.

Without the participation of Karim, the French reached the final of the home European championship and obtained a ticket to the upcoming mundial, but Eric Cantona believes that the striker of Real Madrid can still strengthen the "Galician roosters".

"Naturally, I want to see the best players in the national team's T-shirt".

"I want to see Karim Benzema in the French team. I'm sure I'm not the only one, "Eric said on the air of the radio station France Inter.

Previously, Benzema said that for him the way to the national team is closed until it is headed by Didier Deschamps.
