i shall join you on the higz bandwagon, and together we shall put a end to this endless fighting, peace shall reign until one is benched for an important games j/k

It's almost a tragedy when one of them is benched frankly. They are both in incredible form... and actually dominate when played together ffs.

The funny thing is that now other fans in the forum started fighting over who's better. lol

It comes down to style preference... not really who is better. Both are elite at what they do. They just go about their playing very differently.

just saw the highlights. higuain's goal is a thing of beauty. made it look so simple.

Someone post a vid of his actrobatic shot please

Yeah, I think we've finally passed the "who is better" phase this section went through.

Both have proved their quality.

Those stats are amazing

:dance:

We're sexy and we know it :dance:

Benzema's acrobatic shot

Fark is Karim feeling confident right now lol!

Who actually would've thought Benz and Higuain and our team in general would be playing like this one year ago!

Jesus Christ has a lot changed since then!

Insane, if only that went in lol.

The build up to it was great too.

Has anyone seen his facebook? He is putting some really cheesy pictures on himself lmao

I found this in tumblr, sums it up:



Here is a pic (of his many) that he has posted on FB



BENZEDERP

Phil Ball on Benzema:

How odd that Karim Benzema, so often the target for the fans' ire, and so often looking like a duck out of water, has finally settled into demonstrating just what an excellent player he is. He faded away in the second half at Valencia, but not before scoring a cracker and generally giving out a lesson in how to play the visionary centre-forward role.


You can never be quite sure what he's going to do with the ball, and never quite sure whether he's going to eschew it altogether and make the run into space. His passing is excellent, and his movement a sort of threatening glide. Great player. It seems bizarre that anyone could ever have thought otherwise. It's the Gallic shrug and the timid body language. The Bernabeu prefers a good macho strut - but they will accept others if they prove themselves over time - Emilio Butragueño comes to mind, and he is Benzema's spiritual father

Karim on playing with Higuain against Zagred:

« Quand j’ai le ballon, je regarde qui est bien placé, qui fait les bons mouvements. Contre Zagreb, j’ai essayé de le chercher car il jouait en pointe. On s’est bien trouvé. Il m’a offert une passe décisive. Je suis content. On peut jouer ensemble même si on a deux styles différents. C’est plus un buteur. Il va chercher davantage à marquer. Mais il m’a offert une passe décisive. On est content. C’est mon pote ! »

Translation:

"When I have the ball, i look for who is well positioned and is making the good runs. Against Zagreb, i tried to find him because he was in the CF role. We found each other well. He gave me an assist. I'm satisfied. We can play together although we have two completely different styles. He's more of a goalscorer. He looks to score more than I do. But he did give me an assist. We're both happy. He's a friend!"

Pipita-Benz bromance, you heard it here first.

That dribble was R9 like .

Benzema is pissing me off... with his newfound selfishness. I don't know whether this be the result of being confident or perhaps being over confident but this cannot continue. Wasting possession with long shots, dribbling that leads to nothing, taking shots when there are others available and in a better position. Though he is fairly unselfish in general, I do not like these moments of selfishness he is having. this can only be bad for his development. I do hope he works harder and rids himself of this selfishness. the most dangerous Benzema is an unselfish one. I fear he may actually regress if he retains this nonsense.

52 shots , 25 on target , 13 goals

It really dosen't get much better than that.

I'm comfortable with him taking a few shots.....it shows initiative...........and confidence.....
