The midfielder appreciated the challenge of the striker to the national team.

French midfielder Corantin Tolisso appreciated the decision to call forward Karim Benzema to the national team.

" This decision is not surprising considering what he is doing in Real Madrid.. We all know that Karim is a great player.

I have been rooting for Lyon since childhood, I have been rooting for Benzema - I was 13-14 years old then. He helped the team win trophies. I never imagined I'd play with him one day. Proud of it.

Karim is slowly getting to know the team, because he hasn't played with these guys before, "

Earlier it was reported that Benzema entered the top 10 players in terms of the number of matches for Real.
