Often criticized for his low scoring, Madrid's "Real" striker Karim Benzema tries to silence his critics by working hard on the field, and he considers finishing his career with the "white" team as his biggest dream.
K. Benzema is not the most productive player on the "Real" team, but the sniper often does not receive credit for his hard work in helping to create the team's attacks. It is precisely the successful play of the striker with the ball that often brings goals to the team's star Cristiano Ronaldo.
"I am happy with the match at the 'San Mames' stadium. They were great for me and I hope to be able to demonstrate a similar game in other matches. April will be especially tough for us - we will play against 'Bayern', 'Barcelona', and 'Atletico'. We are 'Real' club and we want to win both titles that we are still fighting for," said K. Benzema.
"My dream would be to finish my career in Madrid. There is no other club that has a brighter future than 'Real'. I feel that I am an important part of the team, not just a player helping Bale and Ronaldo. We are one big family.
With Cristiano, we have a special bond - we have been playing together for many years and understand each other from a few movements. He always wants to win and score goals, whether it's in training or in matches," added K. Benzema.
The footballer also commented on his situation with the French national team coach Didier Deschamps: "It is very difficult for me to accept that I am not called up to the national team. All 'Real' players go to national teams, and I stay here. I last spoke to Deschamps before the European Championship. It would be nice to sit down and explain why I am not called up to the team.
The 29-year-old striker scored 16 goals and made seven assists in 36 matches this season.
