Well said. I can't believe people here are shitting on RM's best player this season. Benzema is the least of Real Madrid's problems right now. Real Madrid's midfield creativity is crap. The forwards have to create their own chances. Nobody from their midfield can create in the final 1/3 worth a lick.
I don’t see anyone being particularly creative enough in the final third , midfield or forwards, it’s about the same for both, they can both do it but the level needs to go up a notch, they have struggled to do so on a consistent basis, including Benz, even he is crossing at times to, well......... who knows
Creativity needs players to move and create spaces by such movements. It is not just a matter of vision and good through passing/crossing skills. Benzema is playing one of his best seasons for us, but his movements make defenders lives easier. And the other wingers aren’t taking advantage of him roaming around. You need to be unpredictable and aggressive when your team circulates the ball around the box. And to be honest, sometimes you need to hunt for penalties when a team defends with 9 players. Barca used to get many penalties when playing against a parked bus. That is not easy when the main strategy is cross-cross-cross.
