The head coach of Real Zinedine Zidane is a mountain behind Madrid striker Karim Benzema.
This season, the French forward shows a special extravagance of scoring chances and very low performance, scoring just 2 goals in 11 matches. Examples.
Such a game of Benzema causes constant criticism from the public, but the head coach of the "Royal Club" Zinedine Zidane continues to believe in his compatriot.
"I do not agree with criticism of Benzema," Zidane said in an interview with Marca.
"Karim is not the football player who scores 50 goals per season, but I'm not only interested in goals. He has so many other qualities ".
"I like the way he plays the team. He is one of the best in this aspect - in the team game ".
"As long as I live, I will defend Benzema," the mentor concluded..
Earlier it became known that Zidane asked the leadership of Real Madrid not to purchase a forward in the winter.
