Z. Zidane: "K. Benzema has never been so important to the 'Real' team"

The head coach of Madrid's "Real" Zinedine Zidane did not spare praise for his compatriot and main team striker Karim Benzema after the victory in the Spanish "Primera" championship. The 28-year-old footballer contributed a goal to the "White's" 3-0 victory over "Villarreal" yesterday. This season, the Frenchman in Spain is showing the best form of his career - scoring 23 goals in 24 games.

"He is a very important player. Perhaps now he is more important than ever. He is doing a great job on the field," said Z. Zidane.

"Forwards are doing fantastic work, just like midfielders and defenders. Today everyone on the field looked great, even those who came off the bench," added the legendary French footballer who has been coaching the "Real" team since January.

In total, K. Benzema has already scored 27 goals this season."
