Benzema points out the big flaw in the current team

In recent hours, Karim Benzema has spoken at length on the microphone of El Chiringuito, and not just to talk about the Mbappé case. More general Real Madrid news was on the menu, particularly after a complicated Clasico. “It’s always a difficult time. Clásicos are always the same: we have chances but we don't score, then they score a goal, then two, and the pressure builds. It’s a very bad result,” complains Karim Benzema.

A leadership problem according to Benzema

According to him, his favorite club still has to find the right adjustments in its collective expression. “Real Madrid has the best players in the world, but the team must play collectively, each in their role. They don’t need to lose their calm when they concede a goal,” warns Benzema. The opportunity to point out the big problem of the moment, namely the absence of a framework. Which seems to be the big flaw of the current team in the eyes of Nueve. “It's complicated because they are all very young, and there are a lot of matches in Madrid. There is only Luka Modrić, but he does not play every match,” said Benzema.

But the 2022 Ballon d'Or remains confident. According to him, the machine will eventually start working so that this season again, Real Madrid will win many trophies. “Real Madrid will win this year, they always come back, especially when they say they are in difficulty. I have a lot of confidence in them. The pressure at Real Madrid is very high. The problem is they have the best players at every position. So it's very complicated. But it's Real Madrid, the pressure will always be there. The team must remain calm to be able to win again,” confides the last wearer of number 9 in Madrid before the arrival of Kylian Mbappé.
