Benzema: "I told him that I don't give a fuck about the buzz [that it would create in the media]. If it's about the buzz and that you already told your family, and they don't care... then let them publish it, I told him."
Childhood friend: "Well yeah... I would have told him that too..."
Benzema: "We're here to help him out [Valbuena]. If he doesn't want to... he can deal with his own piranhas!"
