The striker of Real Madrid, Karim Benzema “explodes” against the evaluations that are given on today’s football. In a recent interview for France Football, the 35-year-old emphasized that he does not like the fact that someone is appreciated only because he scores a goal even if he played a weak game. The reigning winner of the “Golden Ball” added that the goal is not everything in football, but it seems that critics only see this aspect, forgetting the tactical side, movements on the field and many other details.
It’s been a while since we don’t see what a player does on the field, it’s enough for someone to score a goal and the next day he’s considered the best. Such a phenomenon has happened to me. There were matches in which I didn’t play well at all, but I scored. Immediately afterwards I see praises coming and I don’t like something like that because not only the goal is everything in football. I don’t like this kind of football and this kind of evaluation anymore”, said Benzema who was the best scorer for Real Madrid this season too thanks to 29 goals in 41 appearances in all competitions with Los Blancos’ shirt.
