The excellent game of Karim Benzema, the striker of the head coach of Real Madrid Zinedine Zidane, no longer surprises. The French-led "White" team defeated Leganes in the Spanish championship on Wednesday. K. Benzema contributed to the victory with a goal and two assists.
"Karim doesn't change anymore and doesn't surprise me at all," the coach said at a press conference. "As a forward, goals are always important, but he gives the team more than just goals - Karim also makes other players better. I am very happy with his performance," Z. Zidane said.
This season in La Liga, K. Benzema is the most productive player with 10 goals already (7 goals and 3 assists).
In the match against Leganes, K. Benzema's first goal was scored by his substitute Luka Jovic, while the 18-year-old winger Rodrygo scored his second goal in just his third La Liga match.
"I am happy for both of them. Rodrygo has a strong personality and is increasingly integrating into the team. Luka's goal was very necessary. He doesn't play a lot, but it's very important that he makes the most of the minutes when he replaces Karim," Z. Zidane added.
