I've Dreamt about this moment - The Benzema Thread [R]

But ManUnited fans say that he only chose us over the Reds because we outbid them

 

With Higuain apparently on the bench , this is the game to show Real Madrid fans what he's really made of. He's been way off form lately, I hope he has a good game today.

 

Why should he be put under such pressure? Our captain can go 5, 6 or 7 without a goal, score a goal or two and get a pass. So why shouldn't he be afforded the same time/patience due to his age and inexperience?

Higuain as well.

Also in no part am I saying he has been in form with Madrid lately. Besides our last game hardly any of them (Higuain gets a pass) have been.

 

Because they are loved by the majority of fans, they've scored crucial goals. Benzema has cost 35 Million and not done much to impress anyone.

If you've followed Real Madrid long enough, patience isn't the staff's strongest trait.

He's not the only one, we expected a lot more from Kaka too, this is also the perfect opportunity for him to impress the fans.

 

Anybody with half a brain would think the same. I'm not disagreeing with you, but if he doesn't play well today ( and Raul doesn't play well either) then he's the one that will probably be given the axe to the bench . I want to see him do well today so as he continues adapting and improving.

 

I think part of the problem with Benzema are the rumors of his poor attitude and work ethic. I'm not sure how true these rumors are but he certainly hasn't helped dispel them with some of his comments regarding his efforts with Lyon and the French NT (who's advising this kid anyway ) or his body language on the pitch at times. Even when their form is poor no one ever questions Raul and Higuain's attitude, work ethic, or commitment. Right or wrong that's why they get a pass" (sometimes ). I don't doubt Benzema's enormous talent or potential it seems he is the type of player ready-made for Madrid and maybe today he turns it all around....

 

What about a promising young galactico?

 

About the media (AS specifically) recent witch-hunt on Benzema, I have my doubts about it's reliability. For one, as well all can see by now Perez/Madrid is using Marca as our "source" and secondly AS did the same crap to Higuain and it was baseless.

When they see a player struggle they make up stories to antagonize and sell papers. Only one player is mostly above all of this.

FFS, he's been here a total of 5 months. While his passive attitude pisses me off, I have enough sense to give a 21 year old who just made the move more time before I brand him.

If I've followed Real Madrid long enough? Lol, okay.

Surprised you can tell considering you follow Raul more than Madrid. Where were your cries of impatience when Raul was on his drought?

That's right, invisible.

Yet, when Benzema or Higuain drop the ball, guess who's the first to take them out back and paddle them?

I will stand by what I said and we shouldn't add more pressure to an already over pressurized situation. I learned my lesson from the Pipita bashing.

I agree completely here and feel a lot overrate his performances due to their liking of the guy. Now if you were as objective with all our players as you have been with those two...

Exactly.

It's one thing to be in Madrid for 3 years and be going backwards like some experienced and youngsters and it's one thing to be here a total of 5 months and them have some lunatics screaming for your head.

He is 21 for FFS, coming from another league. I mean who knew players may need to adapt to a new league and system, right?

Kaka hasn't struggled to adapt, right?

 

When he's gonna play?

 

In retrospective he should have stayed another year in Lyon (not that he is bad, but right now pressure is too high and he hasn't settled) Maybe we should have tried our luck with Negredo and Huntelaar, no that we wouldn't suck the same but at least we would have already adapted strikers and gave Higuain minutes and a vote of confidence.

Well that's me being reasonable, now I will say it as a fan: We had a proven young striker was it really necessary to split his minutes with another young striker? we are like the "perro de las dos tortas"

 

it looks like he's still dreaming..... time to wake up karim!!!!

 

Dreaming of his exit, lol.

Seriously though, only time he looks happy is when he plays with Cristiano or Ruud.

 

This is one of the funniest comments i have read in Bigsocccer!

 

Dude what? How many times have they played together.....Shit, how many minutes has RVN played since he came back from this his injury.... Seriously, cmon.

I do agree Benzema needs to stop bitchin and start performing.

 

So what do we do with him until Ruud and Cristiano get back?

 

That's the point my love, he's not dealing with it though. He's gotten enough starts to "deal with it" too. I think it might be time for Benzema to take a seat on the bench.

 

If was as ready for this move to Real Madrid as he said then bench time should not have too much a negative effect on him. He knew the dangers of making this switch in a WC year and if nothing else it might give him an opportunity to eat some humble pie. Young Karim could use a hearty slice about now if you ask me And how prolonged could his bench time be....

 

All I know is dude's got me pining for Roger right now

Please do not ever call him Big Daddy Perez again.....ever
