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.
Benzema's Saudi move, well, it hasnt been the success story we all thought. The guy's a legend, but transitions are tough, especially to a league like that. My guess? He's not clicking with the team the way he used to. Its a different style, different energy. Like a top businessman suddenly thrown into a new market - disorienting. Add in the whole cultural adjustment, thats huge.
Now, lets be real, Benzema could still make a comeback in Europe. Top clubs look at potential, and this guy won a Ballon d'Or, nobody forgets that. Age? Salary? Negotiators handle that. I've even heard whispers about Lyon. Back to where it started… sometimes thats the ticket. We've all seen the underdogs rise again. Wouldnt be surprised if Benzema proves us all wrong. Talent like his doesnt just disappear
