How You Like Me Now? - The Karim Benzema Thread

Hes definitely a legend albeit second tier. But parting ways with him should be a priority this summer.

 

Ibra said Benzema deserves to be at the WC.... Deschamps? Not so much.

 

.@Ibra_official: 🗣️ "If it's his decision he's not good enough then the coach should not be there, @Benzema should be."

Zlatan is bewildered by Deschamps' refusal to pick the #RealMadrid striker. What are your thoughts? 🤔#beINRussia #beINFWC #FRA #WorldCup pic.twitter.com/VVWRSWSZac

"If you want to win, you get winners, and Benzema is a winner" -Ibrahimovic

 

Legend and an integral part of our legendary squad, very thankful for his contributions. Hoping he is a bit more fit and less wasteful in front of the net next season.

 

We’ve heard that before as well, let’s see what happens if he stays

 

France played like garbage and the trio got choked. If Benz was playing, he could easily free up space for the team.

And you wonder why Griezmann, Mbappe, Lloris and Matuidi etc support Benzema and wanted him back Not only the current players but the retired, staff, club and even non-French players. L Ke Benzema documentary also covered this.

 

Everyone knows this was a ridiculous decision, which was not grounded on any football-related matters. Deschamps and France have everyone against them, one of the least likable teams at the WC.

Benzema would have been the star of the team if he was there. They have zero personality out there, mostly kids or players who have rarely performed for the country (and even club..). They are similar to Belgium in this, great players being held back by managers and managerial decisions (and in particular for France, politics..).

Can’t wait for Le drame de la Coupe du Monde 2018!

 

Macron is the third French president to weigh in on this, and people say this was a decision Deschamps made by himself with no public pressure. For comparison, notice how no politician commented on JL's dismissal.

 

After Spain being eliminated from World Cup 2018 by Russia, one would believe that El Chiringuito (a well-known Spanish TV-show that) would talk about one of the most embarrasing losses in recent time. Instead, they're discussing about Benzema being fat lmfao....

¡DARÁ QUE HABLAR! ¿Está PASADO DE PESO Benzema en su última publicación en redes sociales? #ElChiringuitoDeMega pic.twitter.com/LALSdJ2Nrh

Yeah... Benzema is certainly slacking during his vacation.






This anti-Benzema propaganda in Spain is absolutely fecking disguisting, don't think anyone has been absued

 

He looked so ripped when he lost those 9 or 10 sitters against Valencia in the beginning of the season

 

What about when he scored against bayern and Liverpool?

 

Conclusion? Sit his ass on the bench until champions league semi final and unleash him then

 

Can you elaborate those 9-10 sitters you're talking about?

Only clear-cut chances Benzema had, happened during 45th & 87th minute.

Funny how some people simply can't move on 1 year after that game happened.

Almost every player have had moments during their career.



However, only 1 game to create "Benzema only misses chances" circlejerk lmfao.

Benzema was excellent against Barca, ManU, Depor etc. at the start of season.

Wasn't great during 1st half of last season (like everyone), but RM improved onwards.

The idea that Benzema only showed up against Bayern & Liverpool is hardly true.

 

We have discussed this many times. If any thing i am not a Benzema hater. Lets move on.

 

Lol

 

I just can’t hate on Benzema as much as he has completely and utterly sucked in the past 2 years, been so trash.

But the guy has delivered at literally the biggest stage in both of those years. He’s a big game player, the guy doesn’t give a ******** he delivers when it counts the most and I’ll never forget it no matter how much he will continue to suck next season.

France are idiots.

 

Yeah he is just as good as his young version. It is known that the Benzema clan don't age. It is a mystery but a fact.

 

No definitely not, this is true and hate is a strong word anyway as he’s one of us at the end of the day.

But what he has done for us as the biggest stage is so immense.
