Madridthquo;s “Real” coach Zinedine Zidane praised his student Karim Benzema. The 32-year-old strategist's compatriot doesn't slow down and yesterday scored two goals against the Bilbao club (3:1) in the “La Liga” championship. “To me, he is the best French striker of all time. Just look at what he has achieved, what he shows, and how long he has been playing for the “Real” team. More than 500 matches, all those goals, his record. The facts speak for themselves. To me, he is the best, that's clear,” said Z. Zidane. K. Benzema doesn't just punish opponents of the Madrid team, but also stands out in his national team, where he has scored 27 goals in 81 matches. “Now Karim is an even better player than he was before. He's not just a true number nine, and Benzema doesn't just think about goals - that's why I really like him. He loves playing combinations with his teammates and creating chances for them to score. Of course, he can do it himself when the team needs it most, like today.”
