the team doesn’t pick who faces the media
Was that what the PK was given for?

It was commented on the Zidane thread Zehner.Bit surprised it wasn't mentioned yet but during the halftime of Madrid - Gladbach microphones caught Benzema instructing Mendy to not play the ball to Vinicius Junior anymore after the latter had a bad first half (didn't see the game). Vinicius was walking next to them but apparently didn't understand French. Benzema didn't pass the ball to Vinicius in the second half and Mendy only half as much as in the first half. After the story emerged in the media Benzema twittered "The dogs bark but the number 9 continues".
What do the Real Madrid supporters think of that? Proper leader I suppose, saying such stuff about a 20 year old talent recovering from an injury crises. With the Valbuena incident and what he said about Giroud in mind, Benzema seems to be the biggest off the pitch cnut in the game right now. Probably sees himself as a mix of 2pac and Cantona though.
Oh I see. Searched for a Benzema thread but there wasn't one. Didn't think of the Zidane thread.It was commented on the Zidane thread Zehner.
Quite unexpected, seeing that Benzema seems quite close with young people, and in social media Vini frequently quotes Karim, as the best 9 in the world.
In the second half Karim and Mendy barely passed him balls.
I imagine these are regular conversations but terrible and very embarrassing when you get caught. Poor Vini must feel pretty betrayed.
Apparently today Benzema approached Vini in training.
Madrid players have to be more careful with the cameras. A few days ago they caught Isco analyzing/joking about the minutes in which Zidane uses to replace him

Anyway, jokes are one thing but Benzema has quite a history of "betraying" team mates. That Valbuena story was already incredible but you might've thought he's matured since then. He's one of the stars at Madrid now, the club and his team supported him when he had a rough time and received much criticism and now he's telling such stuff about a young player. Not really a surprise that you guys are struggling right now if that's the way your senior players conduct themselves, especially since you've invested so much into young prospects like Vinicius, Rodrygo, Ödegaard etc.
The fact that he posts such an arrogant comment on social media is just the cherry on the cake. Sounds as if he's putting the blame on the media again when its clear as day that he's the one who fecked up. No self reflection. Comes across like a proper narcissist to me.
I think he's not a bad boy, maybe a little naive or innocent. It seems that he wants to keep conserving / defending his friends, and I think his problems in the past, like the Valbuena case had to do with that.
Now it is said that with his children his character has changed a little.
Yes, he is totally narcissistic. Cars, parties and super star life.
I remember seeing his own documentary, which was a compendium of statistics, showing off how much money he earned and a few friends explaining their version of the Valbuena case / relationship with the French team.
These days reading on twitter Madrid is remembered a lot that in the past -in Higuaín's time- it was said in the locker room that he played because he was the president's darling, and that when the Bernabéu whistled him Cristiano had to ask them to stop.
It is also true that no teammate or coach has had complaints about him (except when Mourinho called him a cat).
A public complaint at this point may not suit anyone, although each time they coincide in the field, the issue will resume again.
His problem is that fans love Vini, regardless of whether Karim in that particularcomment to Mendy was absolutely right.
They do actually, Huesca is just much worse than gladbachMadrid 2-0 up at the half with a cracking goal from Hazard. Whatever troubles they’re having in the CL are not translating to the Liga.
Disagree. Barsa is not Huesca and they beat them comfortably.They are playing much more compact in La Liga and limiting opponents chances more.They do actually, Huesca is just much worse than gladbach
We actually did a decent job against barcelona, considering it was barcelonaDisagree. Barsa is not Huesca and they beat them comfortably.They are playing much more compact in La Liga and limiting opponents chances more.
It's looking more and more that Atletico turned Toreira's head out of spite to try and feck up our plan to pay Partey's clause. They wanted to get rid of Herrera and he's starting every game. Now they want to buy Kondogbia...Kondogbia very near Atlético for 20m€

What was he doing.1-0 Alaves
Neto
I really don't know what people see in him.Thank God we didn't sign Dembele. What a stupid player
He has talent for sure but he's just too stupid as a player. He makes crazy decisions as timesI really don't know what people see in him.
He's not that talented to begin with him and he's unprofessional.
He definitely has talent, but not as much as people think IMO.He has talent for sure but he's just too stupid as a player. He makes crazy decisions as times
Juve are supposedly interested in swapping him for Bernardeschi. Swap away I say.Thank God we didn't sign Dembele. What a stupid player
He's actually been their best player this half. Messi has been worse and Fati invisible.Thank God we didn't sign Dembele. What a stupid player
Juve fans will drive Bernardeschi themselves. They hate him a lotJuve are supposedly interested in swapping him for Bernardeschi. Swap away I say.
Don't want either of them.Juve fans will drive Bernardeschi themselves. They hate him a lot
He looks like he doesn't give a shit anymore. That scene where he kicked the ball at the refMessi has declined from the previous point where you'd say "he isn't as good as he was before but still the best around".
I don't think that applies anymore.
He's not even the best Barca player anymoreMessi has declined from the previous point where you'd say "he isn't as good as he was before but still the best around".
I don't think that applies anymore.
