Still relaxing football professor Arsene Wenger named the best striker in the world.
The 69-year-old strategist is currently most impressed by Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, despite the team's poor performance last season, he managed to become a true goal machine.
The 31-year-old sniper scored six goals this season in nine matches, and last season - 30. However, as Wenger himself revealed, it is not Benzema's goals that impress him the most, but his involvement in the team's game.
"Don't forget Benzema," - the strategist replied to the question of who is currently the best striker in the world. - In the last ten years, he has been a regular player for Real Madrid. We are not talking about playing in my village, we are talking about the Real club!"
"I am a huge fan of his intelligent game. His passes and creativity allow him to play in the number 10 position as well. He also fights well in the air.
"I know that Benzema did not receive much attention in France last year, but his performances were and still are incredible. Despite all the predictions and negativity, he showed strong character and delivered many top-class performances," Wenger added.
