To be honest, I'm quite annoyed with this player and I wouldn't call him a star player if he continues to behave like this. His inconsistency often disrupts the performance of other players and the problems he often causes with the coach sometimes make the dressing room less harmonious. Luckily, this time he realized and was willing to make the decision to train together with his partner and I couldn't stop thinking how long he would want to be like a child.
Al-Ittihad paid him so dearly and he shouldn't have behaved like that. I know Benzema is a star player but he should be able to set a good example for local players in the Saudi league. I think his expertise as a striker could be passed on more to the players around him instead of continuing to make things worse and disappear without a trace. I hope that this time he really comes back and doesn't make it unclear again just because he often underperformed with Al-Ittihad.
This season Benzema failed to live up to expectations, he failed to show his best performance with Al Ittihad. It must be admitted, many fans are disappointed with the performance of the former Real Madrid player, it seems like Al Ittihad investment has failed miserably this season. Even though he has returned to active training, it is not certain that Benzema performance will return to sharpness on the front lines. Previously, it was rumored that Benzema would return to play in Europe, because his relationship with the coach was not harmonious.
If possible I would prefer Benzema to return to Europe and I think there he would still be more comfortable than in the Saudi league. But there is one thing that will create bad sentiment towards the Saudi League if that happens and perhaps in the future the Saudi League will not be a suitable home for footballers from Europe. Such a summary could be made by the media and the Saudi league would again suffer losses.
Maybe even if Benzema's performance is not so promising even though he has trained again, what is important in my opinion is that Al-Ittihad can keep him until his contract ends. Because I'm pretty sure there are other profitable agreements despite his declining performance and that could at least be a replacement for his failure with Al-Ittihad.
