Re: Karim Benzema - BIG Ballon d'Or 2022 campaign
I hope after this season people finally stop disrespecting my man Benz.
Never thought I get to see the day Benzema actually has a great chance to win a Ballon d'or.
A lot of ye are surprised Benzema could resurge the way he has but not me.
Benzema has always been tier 0. Always has been.
And he stands alone in his position. Only a fool would think he has peers. One can score more goals and Stat pad but no one has such an influence on the pitch like Benzema does. He is as effective regardless of having or not having the ball. His mere presence on the pitch makes his team play better and forces opposition to respect him. His aura has gks tremble and fall to their knees making blunders for youtube highlight clips. And his work ethic of tracking back to play dm shows not only his humility but leadership. He plays and leads by example. Once I called him Le Phénomène. Then, Monsieur Champions League. Now?
Monsieur Real Madrid. He is our greatest example and what I expect from all whom are privileged to wear the shirt.
And it's high time y'all know what's good and what ain't.

Get out of this thread, and worry about your team losing to Frankfurt and bottom feeders.
Ronaldo is a legend as much as Benzema was. The relationship brought us 4 CLs. Benzema himself improved as a player and his work ethic started improving. He used to be overweight and lazy, but he turned that around. I’ve always had his back, except in the horrific season which was Ronaldo’s last.

Could not be more happy for Benzema. He deserves all the clout right now.
Going back to the CR point.. he WAS selfish, for his first 4-5 years here, it infuriated me to no end seeing him hit long shots from stupid angles. But he started to play team ball, which won us CL’s. This was largely due to Zidane and to an extent don carlo. He respected them and what they had to say, it was an obvious change from the mou days

I'm sure Benzema would've certainly fulfilled his potential way sooner if he never played with Cristiano.

Nobody plays for Real Madrid for 13 seasons (majority of them as a starter) without work ethic, don't be ridiculous.
Benzema wasted most of his prime years to accommodate Cristiano, so his stats didn't look nearly as impressive compared to his peers. Benzema has always remained the same as a player, but he had a completely different role back. Once Cristiano fecked off to Juventus, his stats drastically looked much better as the main man.
Since there's already precedent with Wayne Rooney, I guess nobody shouldn't have been surprised of Benzema's "improvement".
Benzema was one of the hardest working forwards during Cristiano era, look at all the heat maps of Ronaldo/Benz, Benz spent most of the time out of the box drawing defenders for Ronaldo ( as he should). And Benzema hasn't been overweight since his 2nd season. If anything, he was jacked & carried a lot of muscles of his frame. Of course a 34-year-old Benzema became slimmer to not add extra pressure on his joints.
Arquitecto wrote:After last year I gained a lot of respect for one who was somewhat of a delinquent in his career but this year alone won me as someone I now rate above even Cristiano.
I've followed his IG for years and its evident his change given he has evolved from cringe rap videos and flash to pictures with his kids and unassuming photos of himself.
Can't imagine how proud Farfan is given he is a direct product of Lyon.
Chad had our number all along.
Benzema has better stats than Cristiano (excluding penalties) every season since they split up in 2018.
Cristiano has admitted years ago that he raped a woman despite her saying "no" and "stop" several times. It's trillons times worse than Benzema advising Valbuena to pay money to those blackmailers who had the infamous sex video. But apparently, you never lost respect for Cristiano lol.

I mean you can delude yourself all you want. Benzema was missing sitters, and Ronaldo is no messi with his creating, but he was creating plenty for Benzema, who couldn’t hit a barn door. Simply put, he worked hard and became much better

You play defense when your team has the ability to play defense.. playing shit football AND losing is a big no-no, especially with such a huge talent advantage

I’m sure all of GM stuff with go to Mbappe head and when it does France is going to have issues. There were attitude problems last couple of years, but were pretty well contained. It could go badly quickly but a same time there is little doubt about their talent so bottom line, who knows!
But also this reaction is coming from a simple friendly we’re no doubt experimentation is going on

It's actually the opposite Doc. When France come to a tournament in form and cocky, they get surprised. When there's doubt, criticism and pressure, they usually win or reach the final actually.
Before WC 2018, France NT was very criticized in France especially. Then going into Euro 2020, everyone gave them the trophy. WC 2022, Benzema wants to win it, Mbappe has a decision to justify, etc. There's hunger there. I actually want them to go into a tournament with some bad results before... it forces them to concentrate and play as a team.
Also, you can't really argue with France NT results in the 25 years now. Most successful NT out there consistently in that timeframe... you have 12 major tournaments with 2 WC wins, 1 Euro win, 1 WC final and 1 Euro final.
Based on the past 25 years, we have a 42% chance of making the finals of this WC purely on results. Ii'll take that any day.
But it's football... can you get caught in an elimination round game and lose in penalties despite being better? Of course you can. Just ask Spain NT.
