Benzema retweets former agent with critical tweet

Benzema also also retweeted a post from his former agent that said: "Noel already put an end to Benzema's international career, he said it in June, and now another time. For what reason? Do you feel like it's your fault? Write to FIFA and let him play for another team to see if it's true that it's finished," he said. 

"I have nothing against Karim, he always behaved well with the team but I think the national team is over for him," La Graët said.
