    Could somebody translate this please:

    "Sí, se puede decir que estoy decepcionado por haber sido suplente. Pero es algo que forma parte del oficio. Las cosas son así, estoy en un gran club y aprendiendo."

    "No voy a comerme la cabeza con este tema. Trabajo para convencer al entrenador y ganarme su confianza. Al menos juego y la motivación está siempre allí, bien presente. Ahora mismo soy suplente, pero voy a darlo todo para hacerme con un sitio."

    Finalmente, resta importancia al hecho de que en una contra de Higuaín el argentino prefiriera cederle al balón a Cristiano Ronaldo. "No me pasó la pelota, pero no es algo grave, la próxima vez será", destacó

    Did I ever try to be respected here :D?

    But yo crying about how nobody likes you and your fight with maca ( I think it was him) is epic.
    Almost as much as you bashing players and then add ''I don't hate them'' line to every second post:D.

    You're feeding into the rubbish demogrogros was trying to start up.

    First, what did the guy say wrong? Decent answer to the question, taking responsibility and dedicating himself to working harder.


    Nothing wrong with that. Hardly a Cristiano bitchfit.

    "He didn't pass the ball to me, it's nothing major, next time it will be"

    I'm not sure if it's his bad Spanish and that he meant to say next I'll be the one who gets passed to, but now it reads as if next time it WILL be a problem if it happens again.

    Ah, yes that makes much more sense, particularly in a professional interview.

    The interview originally appeared in L'Equipe and it looks like he said something more along the lines of, "he didn't pass me the ball but that's okay there will be a next time."

    He has a point. Sometimes it's like Higuain doesn't want to pass to him in front of the goal, lol.

    Can't be down about it, there is always next time. Anyways, he needs to focus on being onside, FFS.

    I tell ya, media websites lately have been masters of taking a statement out of context and making it appear something entirely different than what was meant.

    Lots of talk about him on the injury thread..

    People saying his price tag was high, I do agree with that, but his still young and has tons of potential. If he ever reaches his potential, I believe he might be one of the best center forwards of his generation. He is indeed very similar to Higuain but I believe he can create for others. We saw Higuain assist Granero the other day but often he goes for goals and I don't blame him his a striker after all. Benzema can create chances for others as he should vs Valencia, MOTM and his best game in the Madrid shirt.

    But his current performances are a bad, but him starting the next game should help.

    I know what you wrote but I still maintain that you can't make a true comparison (as you did in your OP I replied too) based on an assumption, no matter how fair that assumption might be ;)

    Nothing of these "problems" since the news originally broke though. The first crash said he was driving home after a game. Do you have a source that disputes that story? The second crash happened while he was on vacation, if he can't party on vacation when can he?

    This is what you wrote:

    As for his life style, you can not possibly have missed all the things about him the press. How he crashed multiable cars, did not even bother learning the language, still lived in hotel and partied all the time.

    You wrote this in response to my questioning why you thought his lifestyle was questionable. Why did you mention the living in the hotel then? :confused:

    That is fair enough but I suppose we'll just have to wait and see when the season ends.

    And had it been an isolated case then there would not have been anything about it but it does raise a few eyebrows when he is reported to party a bit too much even when he is not on vacation.

    I mentioned it to emphasize the point. That he after 6 months was still living in a hotel, while constantly hitting the Madrid night-life.

    Anyway, The things about Benzema that really bothers is that, he is a bit too much like his idol fat Ronaldo. Neither put noticeable effort on the pitch, they are a bit lazy, moan to the press and love to party. That is one of the reason I never liked Ronaldo Lima at Real Madrid. Granted that he was a terrific player but he sure was a bad professional.

    Higuain on the other-hand is the complete opposite. He works really hard, always says the right things, is rarely if ever featured in the gossip section and is an outstanding professional. As Madrid_1902 said, there was a time he could not score even if his life depended on it but the fans still loved and supported him, that was because he showed that he really was putting an effort even though he was not succeeding at converting his chances.

    If Benzema can score between 15 and 20 goals this season i think it would have been a good first season in a new country and a new league.

    Comparisons with Le Sulk and El Gordo are a bit unfair in my opinion but i'm not privy to Karim's daily routine so i can't make a judgment on his "lifestyle".

    On the pitch he has looked like a young player in his first year with a different team in a different country. He is still finding his feet. Valdano and Lord Perez even said that benzema is a long term project so i'm willing to give the guy time. Remember how Pipita fared when he came here.
