French national team striker Karim Benzema is determined to end his goal drought as soon as possible, which has lasted 1217 minutes in the national team.
"It's true, this is the longest 'dry' period in my entire career, but it has not lasted for 10 years.
I will continue to work hard and not give up - I have no doubt that the reward will come soon.
There are different strikers - some of them do not necessarily try to score, but do other useful work on the field. I am one of them," said 25-year-old Benzema.
"I don't burden myself with thoughts that I must necessarily score a goal. The most important thing for me is the team's victory. And if I do score - even better. I run 10 kilometers during a match, so I think criticism of my attitude is unfounded."
