In an interview with France Football, the French star mentioned some interesting things. In a recent interview with France Football, Karim Benzema hinted that it’s not all about the numbers.
After Cristiano Ronaldo departed Real Madrid, the Frenchman discussed his recent career and growth as a footballer.
“Apart from the numbers, I don’t see what has changed in my football other than scoring more goals.”
“I’m still the same player,” Benzema remarked of his performance after Ronaldo’s departure. “We no longer care about what a player performs on the field; we only care about who has scored.”
The next day, we think he’s the best. It’s happened to me before: if I don’t play well but score, people regard me as the best. I’m not a big fan of this style of football, but it’s becoming more popular. It has evolved into a sport in which statistics are scrutinized.
(Karim Benzema)
“I strive to appreciate football when I play.” When there is an unmarked teammate, for example, I can’t shoot if I don’t have an angle. I’ll hand the ball on to him. ‘Ah, but perhaps I’ll score,’ I don’t believe.
Everyone has their own method of watching football, but I strive to stay on track. I make an effort to improve the lives of others.
“As an example, consider Vinicius Junior. Only what I said in the tunnel will be remembered (Benzema refers to what he said to Mendy in the tunnel, that ‘Vinicius is playing against us’). But I am confident that I have aided in his development.
You must persuade him to reconsider his decision. He is no longer the same player.
You can’t tell him anything since he’s doing what he should have been doing for a long time. He is a talented young player. All you have to do now is speak with him. I had a feeling he was capable of a lot more.
So I showed him things in two or three sentences on the field, in two or three actions, especially in the last twenty meters.
He must choose between crossing to make the critical pass, not crossing at all, or shooting to score. Raise your head and scan the horizon. He had already begun. That’s Vinicius Junior today!”
Is Benzema mostly a goal scorer or does he have other skills? He responded to this topic with a variety of perspectives, as well as an explanation of his relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo.
“I don’t care if I’m considered a goal scorer, I’m not one. Someone like Lewandowski is that goal scorer, he is a goal scoring machine.”
(Robert Lewandowski)
“During his time with Real Madrid, Ronaldo averaged between 50 and 60 goals every season. As a result, you must adjust to this reality.
I needed to move around more on the field to give him more room. When he walked away What had changed was that it was now my turn to take the lead, score goals, and assist my teammates.”
“I’ve taken charge in my own unique style, and things are going great.” I’m not like Cristiano Ronaldo, and he’s not like Karim Benzema.
When Cristiano Ronaldo was there, I was more the creator and he was the finisher.”
Finally, Benzema discussed his heroes, the great players with whom he’s had the most fun, and the personalities that have had the biggest influence on him in the past.
“We have Cristiano, Mesut zil, Juninho, Fred, and Zizou in training as well.” Benzema stated that they are the players with whom he has had the most fun. “Technical players, that’s football; you call, the ball arrives, you hand it over to him, and he hands it over to you.”
“I grew up admiring Ronaldo Nazario and thought he could do it all… and Zidane: His controls, knowing when to make the correct ball, the right dribble…”
Benzema was also pleased that he evolved into the player Zidane envisioned for him in 2014, when he said, “I would like to see him as the one he can become.” A real assassin with a passion to destroy everything and ever-increasing ambitions.”
“I developed into the player Zidane was referring about. For the past three years, I’ve been myself.”
