Sure, here's the translation of the given text:
After the match, Benzema slowly returned to the locker room, ready to have a chat with Deschamps, only to find that both he and Mael were nowhere to be seen.
This left him a bit stunned; he had originally thought that these two would wait for him and discuss privately how to handle the situation gracefully.
Did they go straight to the press conference?
Benzema returned to his seat with a sullen face, complaining to himself as he unwrapped the bandage on his ankle, feeling he hadn't received the respect he deserved.
"I'm waiting to see how you two are going to handle this matter."
With an indifferent expression, from the heart, he didn't think he would receive such a severe punishment, at least not like Ribery.
Their situations are different. He's only 25 this year, right in his prime as a striker, and he has at least 8 to 10 more peak years.
