“That player does not deserve to be a starter”: Karim Benzema launches a hard criticism and warns Ancelotti for an unforgivable error
By: Sports Writing – The European Soccer Diary
Madrid – In a statement that has generated a true earthquake in the environment of Real Madrid, the former white of the French football, Karim Benzema, did not bit his tongue when talking about the performance of a particular player who, according to him, does not deserve to wear the starting shirt of the merengue team.
The French former international, who for more than a decade was one of the most respected and decisive figures of the white costumes, surprised with hard words directed towards the management of coach Carlo Ancelotti, especially for his insistence on aligning a player who, in the opinion of Benzema himself, has caused more problems than solutions to the team.
“I noticed it. I told Ancelotti that this player should not be a starter. But he did not listen to me. He put it in the first game against Arsenal, and cost us three points. And as if that were not enough, he put it back on the return. It was an unforgivable mistake,”Benzema declared in an exclusive interview with a French medium.
Although the striker did not directly mention the player’s name, sources close to the situation assure that it is the Spanish defenderDani Carvajal, who has been under the scrutiny of criticism for its irregular performance in key matches of this season, especially in European clashes.
“That player does not deserve to be honestly.Benzema added with obvious frustration.
The breakdown between Benzema and Carvajal is not recent. During his last years in the club, the striker had already expressed in private his concern about the lack of defensive reliability of the side, especially in the big matches. According to internal sources of the club, Benzema would have had several conversations with the coaching staff in which he manifested his concern for the repetitive errors of Carvajal, but his warnings were ignored.
The trigger would have been the recent Champions League tie against Arsenal, where Carvajal was constantly surpassed by the English extremes and committed a children’s penalty in the first leg that ended in a draw -flavored draw for the whites. In the return match, he failed again in the brand that resulted in the decisive goal of the English team.
Benzema’s criticisms were not limited to the player, but also hardly questioned the decisions of the Italian coach. Despite being one of the most influential voices of the costumes for years and having a cordial relationship with Ancelotti, the exnueve Blanco did not hesitate to hold the coach responsible for his “tactical blindness.”
“With all the respect that I have Carlo, because we have won a lot together, there are decisions that simply do not understand. In matches like that, you can not afford to be sentimental. You have to be pragmatic, and he was not,”Benzema sentenced.
The striker’s words have divided the Madrid fans. While some consider that Benzema is right and value their sincerity as a sample of their love for the club, others believe that it is a lack of respect for a partner and towards the management of Ancelotti, which has led the team to fight for all titles this season.
In social networks, the hashtag#CarvajalfueraIt became a trend in a matter of hours, while other users defended the side remembering their trajectory, their commitment and delivery in difficult times.
The controversy promises not to end here. With the team even in the fight for the league and with crucial commitments on the horizon, the internal tension can affect the harmony of a locker room historically marked by the egos.
It is expected that in the next few hours the club will issue a statement or that Ancelotti himself will respond at a press conference. For his part, Carvajal, until now, has opted for silence, although nearby sources indicate that he is “deeply hurt” by the statements of his former partner.
What is clear is that the figure of Karim Benzema, even outside the club, still has a specific weight in the history and present of Real Madrid. And when he speaks, the White House listens.
