Real Madrid Is A Team With Individual Players – Benzema

Xabi Alonso is not to blame for Real Madrid’s struggles this season, Karim Benzema has said. He recently pointed the finger at the club’s players, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he believes Real Madrid would be playing better this season if the players had a better connection, unlike the current setup, with footballers who are displaying their own personality and characteristics.

Benzema added that it is very obvious that the present team is filled with players who do not even communicate with one another.

His words, “What they’re lacking is simply a connection. Between [Kylian] Mbappé, Vinícius [Júnior], [Jude] Bellingham, and Rodrygo. Each one needs to know what to do on the pitch. Bellingham needs to understand that he’s the attacking midfielder, not the goalscorer.

Mbappé is the goalscorer, not the attacking midfielder. Vinicíus isn’t a defensive midfielder; he’s a left winger.

As long as they all know what to do on the pitch, that’s it. Because we’re talking about players who are among the 10 best in the world, and they’re all on the same team.

It’s difficult because everyone has their own personality and characteristics. They all want to be the best, so it’s a bit complicated… Everyone needs to understand that, in their role, they can contribute, but that it’s for the good of the team.

There isn’t a more experienced player who can tell Bellingham, Mbappé, or Vinicius that they’re doing something wrong. So it’s complicated. The coach, in my opinion, says it, but in a different way… Frankly, it’s very complicated.

The players don’t talk to each other anymore. And it shows, actually. It’s ‘I did my job, I scored my goals.’ That’s football these days. If your teammate is better than you, you have to accept it.

The problem is not accepting that the player ahead of you scores more goals. That’s why you have problems when you have five or six great players together. They all contribute something. And, in the end, the top scorer always gets a little more attention than the others. But he always needs the others! You can’t do it all alone.

That’s the pressure he needs to shoulder and take that small step to become the leader of the attack. Because he’s the one who has to lead Real Madrid to titles. And not alone, but with the others. That’s why I talked about the connection.”

WOW.

Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, commonly referred to as Real Madrid, is a Spanish professional football club based in Madrid. The club competes in La Liga, the top tier of Spanish football.

Real Madrid has maintained the white shirt for its home kit throughout the history of the club. There was, however, one season that the shirt and shorts were not both white. It was an initiative undertaken by Juan Padrós in honor of an English team Corinthian F.C., which he had met on one of his trips, one of the most famous teams at the time known for its elegance and sportsmanship.

It was under Florentino Pérez’s first presidency (2000–2006) that Real Madrid started its ambition of becoming the world’s richest professional football club. The club ceded part of its training grounds to the city of Madrid in 2001, and sold the rest to four corporations: Repsol YPF, Mutua Automovilística de Madrid, Sacyr Vallehermoso and OHL.

Hala Madrid is a magazine published quarterly for the Real Madrid club members and the Madridistas Fan Club card holders. The phrase Hala Madrid, meaning “Forward Madrid” or “Go Madrid”, is also the title of the club’s official anthem, which is often sung by the Madridistas (the club’s fans).
