France coach, Didier Deschamps has reacted to the over expectancy from Karim Benzema’s fans ahead of the Euro 2016 hosted by France.

Karim Benzema’s ban from France National team for his involvement in Mathieu Valbuena’s sex-tape blackmail was lifted on Friday which means the France striker is eligible to join his team-mate for the Euro.

Every France and Benzema fan are happy with the lifting of ban but his eligibility has also brought worries to the France coach who thinks fans are expecting toomuch.

“He will never be a great goal scorer, even if that’s expected of him,” the France coach toldL’Equipe. “He brings more to the construction of the play.
“You aren’t an attacker at Real Madrid for five years, under Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Rafa Benitez or Zinedine Zidane otherwise.

“Every nation wants a striker like that.

“When I hear that he had a bad World Cup because of the match against Germany…”

The coach explained Benzema’s role at club level is judged less on goals by the coaches because of the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo.

“In Madrid, the responsibility of scoring is on another player,” he said. “In the France team, everyone is on him when he doesn’t get a goal.

“He participates a great deal in the play. We are seeking link up, someone to be complementary to the others. We will always expect goals, because Karim Benzema’s at Real Madrid. It’s not like that.”
Deschamps still believes he can live up to expectation despite scolding him: “He is not a fighter. He gives the impression of being less involved than others,” he said. “I often speak to him. He depends on the other players, too.”
