Let's take a look at this offense, Benzema!! Benzema!! Without stopping the ball, Real Madrid made a perfect start! The fans at the Stadio San Mamés gave him a standing ovation, it was a master goal!
Three minutes later, it was Benzema again! Brace! He caught the opponent's mistake and Real Madrid already had a 2-0 lead in 6 minutes!
Real Madrid finally won the game, and Benzema scored a total of 47 goals in 2021, setting a new career high! And the French striker has just celebrated his 34th birthday!
Benzema's first goal
Benzema scored second
At the same time, Benzema has scored 299 goals for Real Madrid in all competitions, and his legend has drawn a shocking ton in the 33-34 years old.
It's as if in 2009, with a worth of 35 million euros, he first arrived at the Bernabeu, his green face was full of visions for the future, he longed to bring the Champions League to Real Madrid like his predecessor Zidane, eager to become a legend of the stadium, and today, he has done it.
Returning to France, Benzema asked Deschamps to compromise
In the first half of 2021, Benzema scored 15 goals and 4 assists for Real Madrid in La Liga, scoring 1 goal in the Spanish Super Cup and 2 goals in the Champions League, and in more than 5 months, Benzema scored a total of 18 goals!
Such a heroic performance allowed Deschamps to return to france on May 19 under pressure from all sides.
Benzema returns to France
In half a year, Benzema followed the French team to the European Championship, the World Preliminary Tournament, and the UEFA Nations League, and finally scored 9 goals, which effectively filled the French team with attack after Olivier Giroud's physical function declined.
And France also successfully qualified from the World Preliminary Round, won the UEFA Nations League championship, and Benzema, who returned to France after 6 years, did not feel any discomfort in the face of the double pressure of clubs and national teams, and he continued his amazing performance.
On the stage of the European Cup, Benzema scored two goals in the last round of the group, helping France to draw with Portugal and ensuring the first place in the group, and in the match with Switzerland, Benzema scored twice to help France draw the opponent, but unfortunately, after Benzema was replaced in extra time, France fell in the penalty shootout.
Benzema scored twice in a row at the European Championship
In the face of Belgium's 2-0 lead in the first half, Benzema took the lead in the second half, and he swept a goal back in the 61st minute inside the box to bring hope for France to equalize a few minutes later.
In the final with Spain, facing Oyashaval's 63-minute goal, Benzema completed a wonderful shot through the counter-attack in just two minutes, and finally france successfully won the cup, and Benzema also reflected the value and significance of the superstar player!
Benzema and Mbappe form a BM combination!
In addition to the above contributions, the addition of Benzema has indeed brought unexpected gains to Deschamps.
Benzema's professional attitude is very good, and he is a real Madrid passing star, whether it is honor or strength, which makes the former big men of the French team: Griezmann and Pogba retreat.
After the World Cup, the French team was exposed, and Griezmann played a big name in the French national team after the 2018 World Cup, declaring that without himself, the team could not get the World Cup and so on.
But with benzema's return, Griezmann instantly became a younger brother, and even though the honor of the French national team was not enough, the luxurious honors of his club, as well as the pedigree of The same Algerian descent as Mbappe, made Mbappe and Benzema quickly become the best partners.
They are not only partners on the field, but also on the sidelines, Mbappe and Benzema are also monopolizing the "press rights" and "right to speak" of the French team, and the two of them have knocked Griezmann and Pogba into secondary stars, which is more conducive to the team performance of the French team.
Unfortunately, Benzema was too old
Moreover, as Benzema is getting older, there is no doubt that the position of the French brother will be Mbappe's, and Benzema's arrival will consolidate Mbappe's advantage in the French team.
Moreover, the close relationship between the two also affects Mbappe's desire to go to Real Madrid, and Benzema has become a conciliator for the French team inside and outside the field, and he has also forced the stereotypical and tough Deschamps to make changes.
Because, Benzema should be the main Indian striker of the French team, which is well deserved! And the French team will also benefit from this!
5 years and 4 crowns have become history, and Benzema is the one that carries on from top to bottom!
Since the departure of C Ronaldo, Florentino has begun to plan a new era, five years of four crowns have become a thing of the past, Real Madrid can not stand still.
From the arrival of the Cubs and Rodrigo, to the influx of Lunin, Ibrahim Díaz, Jovic, Militão, Jiu Jianying, Rainier and Camaringa into the Bernabeu, the personnel structure of Real Madrid has undergone major changes.
Real Madrid began planning a new era early
The heroes of the four crowns in five years are now countless, and Marcelo, Isco and Bale have all become spectators and will leave the team when their contracts expire next year.
Modric is 36 years old, and the renewal has not yet been achieved, and even if he is renewed, his playing time will be less and less every year.
And Benzema is still standing! If Mbappe is the ace puzzle of Real Madrid's reconstruction work, then Benzema is the soul who carries on the work from top to bottom and makes Real Madrid run smoothly during the reconstruction.
Benzema supported Real Madrid
Throughout 2021, Benzema was directly involved in more than 50% of Real Madrid's La Liga goals! He scored 30 goals for Real Madrid, giving 11 assists to his teammates, and Real Madrid scored 80 goals in the year!
Without Benzema, would the road to the Cubs' rise be so smooth? Real Madrid may have brought in other wingers in the first year of Hazard's waterfall.
The contract between Benzema and Real Madrid will expire in June 2023, when Benzema will be 35 years old, and Real Madrid's reconstruction road should be more perfect, whether it is renewed or not, Benzema will be the leader of Real Madrid's new era.
Benzema is tentatively ranked fourth in Real Madrid's all-time top scorer list
Today, Benzema is already at the level of sitting on 4-2 in real madrid's all-time top scorer list, and he is only 9 goals away from Real Madrid legend Di Stéfano. There is only a gap of more than twenty goals from Real Madrid's former captain Raul!
Although it is very difficult to cross the mountain of Ronaldo's 450 goals, Benzema to this extent is already a legend of Real Madrid's new century standing on the field!
And in the next two seasons or so, Benzema is very likely to surpass Raul, sit in the second place in the Real Madrid top scorer list, laugh and watch, and then people try to chase!
Conclusion: Unconsciously, this is Benzer - T-Rex!
Unconsciously, the Benze cat, who was once ridiculed by Mourinha, has become a Tyrannosaurus Rex on the football field, destroying the city for the team; unconsciously, the "green leaves" that were once the legendary combination of Real Madrid can already cover the entire Bernabeu and shelter the team from the wind and rain; unconsciously, everyone's funny back pot man has long become the guardian of Real Madrid, protecting the minimum limit of Real Madrid.
Benzema's career was unconscious
Unconsciously, it is Benzema's career of more than ten years, the best explanation, he unconsciously created one after another, his own unique history, but also became a Real Madrid fan, reminiscing about the past beautiful, the best, the most direct "evidence".
And in 2021, Benzema also set a new personal Golden Globe Award best: fourth place! This is a well-deserved result, and with his return to France, Benzema has the hope of breaking the better rankings in the future!
