Yeah r9 was his idol but r9 is also a big fan of benzi in an interview ronaldo said that benzema is the best and the most complete striker in the world so you can say that benzi really impressed his idol after all
I saw young benzema a few times in the champions league but never really bothered much with ligue 1. I'm amazed by this video young raw benzema was like a R9 Adriano hybrid. Its crazy how much his game changed when he went to Madrid. It just shows that world class players need to feel like the star of the team to perform to their full potential.
Toda la razón amigo, un caso similar al de Alexis Sanchez, en Barcelona no brillo como debió debido a la cantidad de estrellas que había en el equipo y luego en el Arsenal la rompió toda.
That´s true, for many of them it´s necessary to increase his confidence when they feel they are the star, anyway playing with Cr7 it´s not easy to play like the star, Cr7 was the one finishing all the time sittuations by shoting to score the goal, Benzema just accepted his role to complement Cr7. When Cristiano left it became to appear this kind of Benzema but with around 33-34 years, we could imagine how good could it have been Benzema at Real Madrid when he was younger not playing with Cr7 together, I can guess more than one "ballon d´or" would have win.
They are very different and complementary players. Both are sacred monsters, extraordinary dudes playing football. But Benzema's technical refinement, class and intelligence are truly impressive. Benzema is without a shadow of a doubt one of the most talented number 9s not only of his generation, but in the entire history of football. Pure genius!
Be honest Mbappe is one level above Benzema. Benzema had one really super season, but beside of this he was never on Neymar, Mbappe level and not to mention Messi and Ronaldo. Nevertheless he was always one of the top striker
Lol its more like real madrid excelent team + courtois gave him champions league The high number of pass benzema received was so easy to score from. That who ever was main striker for real madrid that season. That is at least medium talent and not morata clumsey. Would had huge stats
Benzi went from underrated and nothing without ronaldo to legend and one of the best strikers ever in just 2 years what a player for me the best striker in post r9 era with lewandowski and suarez. Sometimes seriously benzema reminds me so much ronaldo nazario
Very interesting evolution: at first, he was pure power, speed and self-confidence. After that, he lost part of this features and had to adapt to play for Cristiano. In the end, he was pure intelligence and quality, mix of 9 and 10 position, and recovered all his confidence to become the leader of Real Madrid.
I’m tired of this “play for Cristiano”bs. Benzema is one of the finest strikers of the 21st century. Cristiano is top 3 footballers of all time. He was simply better than Kareem and the team played accordingly. I’ve been a die hard Madrid fan since 2001, Kareem was a beast but was not clinical in the early years. The joke was, we counted his shots because every 5 sure chances he was (maybe) about to score. People forget the fans’ outrage when Higuain was traded instead of him, that’s how people saw him. He blossomed to a leader and a Balon’dor winner and ultimately a Real Madrid Legend but we all know if it wasn’t for Cristiano’s 50 and 60 goals seasons during Barca’s golden era the whole attacking line would have changed without much thought.
he became a CF brother, thats all to it, your CF attempting to move through the middle like that would waste more chances than it would create when you play with wingers that could do the same better or as well
@@Lymbe06 Maybe you think that my intention was talking bad about Cristiano, but actually it wasn't. The normal and logical think was adappting to Cristiano, because he was the best attacking player in Real Madrid by far, and he could take all the pressure on him. So no problem for me, Madrid did very well in that sense, and if It wasn't for Cristiano the recent history and success of this club wouldn't be the same.
I remember watching Lyon back in 2005-07, Benzema was amazing - this dude could play as a No 10, 11- on the left and a No 9. I have seen him play those positions for Lyon, and in all honesty he is the sort of player any manager would dream of having as their striker. He is way better than the strikers that play today, players like Haaland or Osimhen. He has the ability to genuinely create opportunities out of nothing. I remember him doing this for Lyon and I was disappointed when Man United didn't get him but as a real Madrid fan I was thrilled. In terms of who is better Mbappe or Benzema, I lean more towards Benzema, like I said he can play three positions and with the skill set you see in the above video he can keep playing at a top club well into his late 30's. Mbappe relies on his speed to make the difference and that will last for a few more years after that his technical qualities will be tested and by then I doubt he will be able to offer much to a big club. Both are great players still but Benzema, I mean even now Man United, Real Madrid, and literally ever other top team in Europe would kill for having Benzema.

Quel feu follet !! Quelle capacité à perforer les défenses dans les petits espace, quelles chevauchées et quels missiles ! Je ne savais pas qu'il était aussi intenable à l'OL 😮
Look at how many times KB9 actually defends, recuperates the ball from the opposite team, way behind the middle of the pitch, play with his teammates, and scores! Now that''s a unique player, if the French Footabll Federation wasn't has biased, KB would have made the French National team two or three times world champions and would have taken the Golden Ball from Messi tho! Underrated player!
Tbh,, the best Benzema didn't live in the same era with prime CR7. Very happy and grateful watching him reinvented his old BEAST once again in his latest seasons with Real Madrid. Such a Class!!
@8:28 *you can confirm that Benzema is an intelligent striker. He actually commanded the goal keeper to move so he could create space for the ball and he obeyed* *Genius Benz*
Je vois pas pourquoi tu dis que Benzema était 2 fois plus fort que Mbappé, il n'a pas marqué 2 fois plus ou fait 2 fois plus de passe decisive que Mbappé. Pourtant les 2 étaient dans la meilleure équipe du championnat de leurs époques
@@zzz-ps3svnormal que tu ne vois pas car pour vous, aujourd'hui, on est le meilleur footballeur parce qu'on a marqué plus de buts que les autres 😌😌😌. La valeur intrinsèque d'un joueur ne se mesure pas avec ça sinon tu risquerais de croire que Mbappe ou Halaand sont meilleurs footballeur que Ronaldo R9. Des buteurs il y en a eu mais ils n'étaient pas les meilleurs joueurs du monde pour autant. Benzema c'était une espèce rare. Une qualité technique exceptionnelle et loin devant ce que fait Mbappe
He was the best player at Lyon and he performed like one on a continuous basis. He came to Madrid and wasn't allowed to be himself, unfortunately, it was almost impossible to be the main man with cr7 his teammate. When cr7 left, he became the main man at Madrid and boy did he reinvented himself again. Way far better than klyian
@@pabloorellana9896c'est surtout que en venant au réal Madrid il a compris que cr7 était beaucoup plus fort que lui pour marquer des buts Du coup il a modifié un peu sa façon de jouer afin de rendre cristiano ronaldo encore plus fort Oui c'est en partie grâce à benzema que cr7 a pu rivalisé avec messi pendant des années
KB9 Un ballon d'or 5 ligue de champions . Un maître pour toi , c'est pas ton Grieznul qui ce fait jetter coup pied au cul par le Barcelone l'arnaque sur côte par les médias Français. Benzema est connu mondialement adulé la France pas besoin de son amour .

@@masnsen3336 si justement Zidane était largement supérieur à Benzema et Ronaldo c'était el Fenomeno rien à voir avec ton joueur bidon sans honneur discution close aucun intérêt de discuter avec un footix
I remember seeing him and Ben Arfa back in 2007 when they were still prospects. Benzema for sure had the better career of the two, but goodness, they were both untouchable in those days in Ligue 1.
He had a lot of speed in his younger days, as young players always has and some of them can take great advantage of that like Mbappe is doing now, but Benzema looked more technical than current Mbappe. Maybe Mbappe can improve that part of being more playmaker in the coming years. Just my Opinion.
Where’s the part where he won a World Cup and then scored a hatrick in the final in the next World Cup? According to Balon D’or World Cup is everything ….. Mbappe is and will always be so much better than this guy on so many levels
He probably wouldve snatched one of the many Ballon dors CR7 and Messi won if he went on to evolve as the star player in any other team not named Real Madrid or Barcelona but he probably would had to trade more individual Awards and recognition for the many Champions Leagues he won with Madrid.
Techniquement c'est un monstre il pouvait tout faire sur le terrain après c'est pas étonnant benzema à lui même dit qu'il adorait le Brésil quand il était petit du coup toute sa période de Lyon est le résumer parfait d'un joueur qui a assimilé toute la classe du football brésilien
Et oui très très similaire à r9 son idole d'enfance 😅 , Après au réal Madrid il a créé son propre style de jeu afin de devenir kb9 et pas une copie conforme de r9
Effectivement, Benzema a un niveau de pureté footballistique qui fait qu'il fait parti des " Élus" a mes yeux. On peut observer a quel point le mec est devenu stratospherique en voyant l'evolution de son jeux... Sur cette video, il etait tres tres jeune, avec le temps, il a epurer son jeux et il a surtout compris le football, c'est pour ca qu'il n'avait meme plus besoin d'aller vite ou d'etre tres costaud. Il fait toujours ce que le jeux demande et le tout,de maniere esthetique en plus ! C'est la grande grande classe Benzema , il fait parti de la race des seigneurs de ce sport, c'est indiscutable... Et oui, Mbappé est plus un athlete qu'un artiste comme Benzema l'est, c'est indeniable. Et oui, Benzema sera toujours un plus beau footballeur, un meilleur footballeur que Mbappé, le debat n'a meme pas lieu d'etre. MBappe est fort, il met des buts mais il n'a pas d'aspect romantique si football, Benzema si. Benzema est altruiste et brille car il fait d'abord briller le collectif. Mbappe est egoiste et c'est assumé de sa part mais l'equipe est a son service et il attend des ses coequipiers qu'ils le fassent briller... Rien que pour cela, Benzema est au dessus de Mbappé...dans son approche du football, Benzema est au dessus, a des années lumieres... Mbappe se prend pour Lebron James....🤔🤔 bon bah t'as compris que le garcon, la seule chose qu'il l'interesse, c'est sa petite personne... Et oui, les francais d'origine algerienne ont vraiment un truc en plus. Les deux derniers ballons d'Or sont francais d'origine algerienne ( Zidane, Benzema) et il y a de grandes chances que Mbappé ait le ballon d'Or donc ca fera un troisieme ballon d'or... Ce sont de beaux modeles de reussites a reproduire mais le football francais a preferer miser sur un autre profil de joueurs ( noirs africains) alors qu'aucun de ce genre de joueur n'ont la magie des francais d'origine maghrebine... Meme si il avait 3 neurones et a raté sa carriere, aucun joueur profil noir africain ne s'est approché du talent de Hatem Ben Arfa par exemple et idem pour Nasri...
@@Kakakikakaka10j'ai lu ton commentaire jusqu'au bout😊, oui effectivement benzema est un artiste il a même dit que il préfère faire un excellent match dans le jeu plutôt que marqué des buts et faire un match médiocre, oui mbappe est plus un athlète mais celui qui est entrain de tué le football si il devient ballon d'or c'est haaland 🤦♂️, Haaland est tout ce que benzema a tj détester dans le football un joueur qui se contente de marqué alors qu'il est quasiment fantomatique à chaque match en plus c'est un athlète de 1m 94 du coup c'est plus un profil de basketteur, et oui le benzema de Lyon était très jeune du coup oui parfois il en fesait trop balle au pied comme Ronaldinho ou neymar à un certain moment, Cependant au réal Madrid il a se jouer dans le sens du jeu peut-être un peu moins spectaculaire au niveau du nombre de dribble par match par rapport à son époque de Lyon mais étant beaucoup plus juste techniquement et en gardant son élégance balle au pied , De plus sa polyvalence tactique lui a permis d'être le 4 ème milieu de terrain du réal Madrid lors de ses décrochage
Benzema était plus puissant jeune bien sûr et lâchait moins le ballon que par la suite. Mais sa conduite de balle était hors norme ! Sublime de le voir jouer.
His idols were R9 and Zidane, and you can see he has a bit of both in his game. The touch and vision of Zidane, and the strength and skills of a R9, albeit to a lesser degree of those two legends, but that combination makes for an extraordinary player. On top of that, outside of some of his shady connections off-the-field, he was a model professional on it.
Thx for the video!!! What an amazing player 😮 Never thought he was that fast and skilled. No doubt he deserved Ballon D’Or!!! Also what a mentality to cope with CR7, he’s a complete player in all facets 🙌🏼
I REMEMBER FERGUSON WANTED TO BRING HIM OR HUNTELAAR TO MAN UNITED IN AROUND 2007 OR 2008 SEASON. GOOD THING THAT HE WENT TO MADRID AND SHOWED AMAZING PERFORMANCE THERE
los que dicen que benzema fue solo real madrid un prime efimero. estan locos este cracks lo llevo viendo desde aca y su etapa con cr7 dandole mucho pase y mobilidad. este tipo es un amo y se merecio su balon de oro, los que criticaron jamas sabran algo de futebol
Very fitting to wear no.10 on his shirt. A truly unique and special striker! Vision and techniques of a 10, physique of a 9. Cristiano was truly blessed to have him as his strike partner for so many years
Totally a different player that is today 😳 Really this guy look totally an other player, i doesn't look the benzema we see in Champions League, crazy how a player can change in the years. Only respect for this player
As a Madrid fan back then, I really wish to see him play in Madrid shirt one day. I was so happy when he join us in 2009. But at the same time CR also join Real Madrid. I was like "oh no, they will prefer Raul, Higuain and CR and less playing time for Benzema". Thankfully he is so humble and patience enough being a back up player with his quality - and chose stay with us until his time to be a regular starter.
Id argue as a player hes one of the most underrated. When people talk about great ballers he never really comes up in conversation despite the longevity of his career. I dont think of him as a good striker, i think of him as a good footballer. He could do a little bit was everything: heading, dribbling, speed, technical shots, ball control, balance, passing. A player that you could rely upon to do a job that you ask him to do, with no complaints. Always willing to do what was required for the team.
People thought Benzema was just an ordinary player, but you can't put on that NO# 9 shirt at Real Madrid for such a long time unless you deliver, he played as a winger most of the time at Real Madrid while Ronaldo played as a centre forward but on formation it was showing that he was the centre forward,
Habitant près de Lyon… je l’es suivit de la CFA au Réal de Madrid… un pur bonheur… pour qui a su l’apprécier… (ça ne m’intéresse pas de savoir qui est… ou étaient le meilleur !)… j’ai juste su apprécié ce joueur qui a écrit lui même sa légende malgré tous les bâtons qu’ont lui a mis dans les roues 😉
Benzema est venu s'imposer dans un groupe lyonnais déjà en place et très compétitif dès son plus jeune âge il marchait sur la ligue 1 La suite est connue venu a ses 19 ans avec une concurrence explosive au Real Madrid le plus grand club du monde Sa longévité son mental sa persévérance son palmarès individuel et collectif parle pour lui Son talent sa classe footballistique Finir ballon d'or Ce joueur n'avait pas besoin d'être en sélection pour tout exploser sur son passage Benzema reste et restera le meilleur joueuret attaquant français et de très loin N'en déplaise aux imposteurs 👌🏽 NUEVE 💪🏽
Benzema had his career ruined by CR arrival at Madrid. Seriously. He was always doing the dirty job in the pitch for Cris to shine. The times that he's has an opportunity, he was already tired and then couldn't even finish properly, giving him a bad finisher fame, which was unfair. When Cris was gone, he could rest more in the pitch, which automatically enhanced his football level drastically.
Ruined by CR7 is unfair to say the least.. football is a team sport and Cristiano was a better and more established finisher than Benz, Benzema’s adaption to the role he played ensured his longevity both in an individual capacity and in the RM squad. He upgraded from a talented but strictly centre forward to a Playmaker forward and became an irreplaceable asset for the team till the day he left Madrid. So even though he lost on say 75/80 odd goals, but in the process he became a Legend
@@hadikhan5197 indeed. And all of this happened because he found out ways of how to adapt himself to the role, as he was originally a second striker Lyon. If it wasn't all of this situation we can see surely he could be a more awarded player. There's another thing that made Benzema lesser that he was. The Valbuena episode. That was I think his disgrace at international level in such a way that even in the last world cup the other players pushed him up out the national squad.
The first full game I saw Benz in was that match against Man United in Lyon. He was unbelievable and gave them the run around. I think it was that match that really made Alex Ferguson wanna sign him, but he obviously chose Madrid. I followed him ever since and he’s had a great career, becoming a Real Madrid legend in the process. To consistently be Madrid’s striker - under that pressure of the club - after so many years is just incredible. Many quality strikers haven’t lasted long there like Benz did.

qu'est ce qu'il en vendange des occases quand même dans la vidéo... les ballons mal donnés à 1m du but. Dribbler ok mais pour la lucidité on repassera. Si t'es en extase devant ça tu dois pas regarder beaucoup de foot. Des trucs comme ça t'en vois des tas chaque week-end partout dans le monde.

uno de los jugadores más técnicos que he visto. Eso explica que haya estado tanto tiempo en el Real Madrid.
So much power, technique and confidence.
Awesome to hear different languages describing the same player. All from different countries but all speaking with the same awe
La primera vez que lo conocí fue en un partido de Champions del Lyon vs Barcelona. Benzema hizo trizas a la defensa del Barcelona.
Un jugadorazo.
Benzema was the first pioneer of the false 9 what a player he was
Nunca había visto esta versión de Benzema. Muchas gracias. Excelente vídeo.
Tampoco se lo vi en el Real Madrid
Quel feu follet !! Quelle capacité à perforer les défenses dans les petits espace, quelles chevauchées et quels missiles ! Je ne savais pas qu'il était aussi intenable à l'OL 😮
Look at how many times KB9 actually defends, recuperates the ball from the opposite team, way behind the middle of the pitch, play with his teammates, and scores! Now that''s a unique player, if the French Footabll Federation wasn't has biased, KB would have made the French National team two or three times world champions and would have taken the Golden Ball from Messi tho! Underrated player!
Ses contrôles orientées toujours magnifiques et efficaces
Un joueur hyper complet ayant joué au très haut niveau pendants plus de 12 années. Et dire qu’il aurait pu finir sans distinction individuelle!
Tbh,, the best Benzema didn't live in the same era with prime CR7. Very happy and grateful watching him reinvented his old BEAST once again in his latest seasons with Real Madrid.
Such a Class!!
@8:28 *you can confirm that Benzema is an intelligent striker. He actually commanded the goal keeper to move so he could create space for the ball and he obeyed*
*Genius Benz*
8:27 that move was so stellar! Made the goalie look like he was on roller skates
L’attaquant le plus technique de sa génération 👌👌👌 KB9
Quiconque a vu Benzema jouer à Lyon sait qu’il écrasé la ligue 1 de son génie et qu’il a un mbappe a chaque pied!
Il en avait même deux dans chaque
Je vois pas pourquoi tu dis que Benzema était 2 fois plus fort que Mbappé, il n'a pas marqué 2 fois plus ou fait 2 fois plus de passe decisive que Mbappé. Pourtant les 2 étaient dans la meilleure équipe du championnat de leurs époques
@@zzz-ps3svnormal que tu ne vois pas car pour vous, aujourd'hui, on est le meilleur footballeur parce qu'on a marqué plus de buts que les autres 😌😌😌. La valeur intrinsèque d'un joueur ne se mesure pas avec ça sinon tu risquerais de croire que Mbappe ou Halaand sont meilleurs footballeur que Ronaldo R9. Des buteurs il y en a eu mais ils n'étaient pas les meilleurs joueurs du monde pour autant.
Benzema c'était une espèce rare. Une qualité technique exceptionnelle et loin devant ce que fait Mbappe

He was the best player at Lyon and he performed like one on a continuous basis. He came to Madrid and wasn't allowed to be himself, unfortunately, it was almost impossible to be the main man with cr7 his teammate. When cr7 left, he became the main man at Madrid and boy did he reinvented himself again. Way far better than klyian
Crazy hor cristiano was just way better thats why all the managers just decided to work with him
Uno de los mejores delanteros que vi y con una técnica hermosa, pero sinceramente no recordaba la velocidad que tenía en esa época 😮
@@pabloorellana9896c'est surtout que en venant au réal Madrid il a compris que cr7 était beaucoup plus fort que lui pour marquer des buts
Du coup il a modifié un peu sa façon de jouer afin de rendre cristiano ronaldo encore plus fort
Oui c'est en partie grâce à benzema que cr7 a pu rivalisé avec messi pendant des années
Benzema, Ben Arfa , Samir Nasri génération pétrie de talents 🔥🔥🔥
Sur les 3 t'en a deux qui l'ont pris dans la gueule le pétrin quand même 🤣. Benzema c'est un mbappe dans chaque jambe... !
KB9 Un ballon d'or 5 ligue de champions .
Un maître pour toi , c'est pas ton Grieznul qui ce fait jetter coup pied au cul par le Barcelone l'arnaque sur côte par les médias Français.
Benzema est connu mondialement adulé la France pas besoin de son amour .
You can never know just how good benzema is until you go back to where he started. What made madrid to buy him
The time when football was true football
They actually look like men, now it's the grown men look like groomed academy babies
now, football is shit. It is all about money, marketing and lucrative contacts.
But modern football lovers would deny it and say the level of the game has increased. Pure bull shit.
Simply ahead of his time.

@@masnsen3336 si justement Zidane était largement supérieur à Benzema et Ronaldo c'était el Fenomeno rien à voir avec ton joueur bidon sans honneur discution close aucun intérêt de discuter avec un footix
I remember seeing him and Ben Arfa back in 2007 when they were still prospects. Benzema for sure had the better career of the two, but goodness, they were both untouchable in those days in Ligue 1.
He was little Ronaldo. And as a Madridista i was really happy when he came to Madrid
Such similar movement to R9. You’re right
He had a lot of speed in his younger days, as young players always has and some of them can take great advantage of that like Mbappe is doing now, but Benzema looked more technical than current Mbappe. Maybe Mbappe can improve that part of being more playmaker in the coming years. Just my Opinion.
MBAPPE still raw IMO. Just speed need more improvement. And again MBAPPE not a teen and youngster anymore. He's going into his prime year.
@@justinsmyou must be kidding, mbappe is skillful creative and can score from outside the box
@@notrivia3862nah sorry, Benz much more complète in every sector of the game.

1:30 that reaction time and creativeness damnn
He is a legend, but imagine if he was able to continue to evolve as this version of who he was as a player instead of being made to play for Ronaldo
He probably wouldve snatched one of the many Ballon dors CR7 and Messi won if he went on to evolve as the star player in any other team not named Real Madrid or Barcelona but he probably would had to trade more individual Awards and recognition for the many Champions Leagues he won with Madrid.
JE SUIS MAROCAIN......BENZEMA PARMI LES RARES JOUEURS AU MONDE QUI ALLIE LA SIMPLICITÉ, L ÉLÉGANCE ET L EFFICACITÉ....J ADORE SON JEU ❤❤❤❤
Tellement fort, quel régal de joueur
Techniquement c'est un monstre il pouvait tout faire sur le terrain après c'est pas étonnant benzema à lui même dit qu'il adorait le Brésil quand il était petit du coup toute sa période de Lyon est le résumer parfait d'un joueur qui a assimilé toute la classe du football brésilien
Et oui très très similaire à r9 son idole d'enfance 😅 ,
Après au réal Madrid il a créé son propre style de jeu afin de devenir kb9 et pas une copie conforme de r9
Ces 3 dernières années au réal Benzema a été un monstre, le meilleur joueur du monde
Karim ❤
Effectivement le football Benzema et élégant face à celui de M'bappé.
L'Algérie donne des sacré joueurs à la France.
Effectivement, Benzema a un niveau de pureté footballistique qui fait qu'il fait parti des " Élus" a mes yeux.
On peut observer a quel point le mec est devenu stratospherique en voyant l'evolution de son jeux...
Sur cette video, il etait tres tres jeune, avec le temps, il a epurer son jeux et il a surtout compris le football, c'est pour ca qu'il n'avait meme plus besoin d'aller vite ou d'etre tres costaud.
Il fait toujours ce que le jeux demande et le tout,de maniere esthetique en plus !
C'est la grande grande classe Benzema , il fait parti de la race des seigneurs de ce sport, c'est indiscutable...
Et oui, Mbappé est plus un athlete qu'un artiste comme Benzema l'est, c'est indeniable.
Et oui, Benzema sera toujours un plus beau footballeur, un meilleur footballeur que Mbappé, le debat n'a meme pas lieu d'etre.
MBappe est fort, il met des buts mais il n'a pas d'aspect romantique si football, Benzema si.
Benzema est altruiste et brille car il fait d'abord briller le collectif.
Mbappe est egoiste et c'est assumé de sa part mais l'equipe est a son service et il attend des ses coequipiers qu'ils le fassent briller...
Rien que pour cela, Benzema est au dessus de Mbappé...dans son approche du football, Benzema est au dessus, a des années lumieres...
Mbappe se prend pour Lebron James....🤔🤔 bon bah t'as compris que le garcon, la seule chose qu'il l'interesse, c'est sa petite personne...
Et oui, les francais d'origine algerienne ont vraiment un truc en plus.
Les deux derniers ballons d'Or sont francais d'origine algerienne ( Zidane, Benzema) et il y a de grandes chances que Mbappé ait le ballon d'Or donc ca fera un troisieme ballon d'or...
Ce sont de beaux modeles de reussites a reproduire mais le football francais a preferer miser sur un autre profil de joueurs ( noirs africains) alors qu'aucun de ce genre de joueur n'ont la magie des francais d'origine maghrebine...
Meme si il avait 3 neurones et a raté sa carriere, aucun joueur profil noir africain ne s'est approché du talent de Hatem Ben Arfa par exemple et idem pour Nasri...
C'est propre au joueur maghrébins la technique c'est dans le sang 😊
@@Kakakikakaka10j'ai lu ton commentaire jusqu'au bout😊, oui effectivement benzema est un artiste il a même dit que il préfère faire un excellent match dans le jeu plutôt que marqué des buts et faire un match médiocre,
oui mbappe est plus un athlète mais celui qui est entrain de tué le football si il devient ballon d'or c'est haaland 🤦♂️,
Haaland est tout ce que benzema a tj détester dans le football un joueur qui se contente de marqué alors qu'il est quasiment fantomatique à chaque match en plus c'est un athlète de 1m 94 du coup c'est plus un profil de basketteur,
et oui le benzema de Lyon était très jeune du coup oui parfois il en fesait trop balle au pied comme Ronaldinho ou neymar à un certain moment,
Cependant au réal Madrid il a se jouer dans le sens du jeu peut-être un peu moins spectaculaire au niveau du nombre de dribble par match par rapport à son époque de Lyon mais étant beaucoup plus juste techniquement et en gardant son élégance balle au pied ,
De plus sa polyvalence tactique lui a permis d'être le 4 ème milieu de terrain du réal Madrid lors de ses décrochage

Closest thing to the Brazilian Ronaldo

Ça c'est le Benzema qui m'a rendu fan de Lyon avec Ben Arfa❤ !
les 2 artistes qui ont connu des trajectoire oppose
Amazing video mate!
Benzema était plus puissant jeune bien sûr et lâchait moins le ballon que par la suite. Mais sa conduite de balle était hors norme ! Sublime de le voir jouer.
Pour moi c'est clair , le niveau du football a considérablement régressé.
Mbappe à l'époque de Benzema serait au taquet
His idols were R9 and Zidane, and you can see he has a bit of both in his game. The touch and vision of Zidane, and the strength and skills of a R9, albeit to a lesser degree of those two legends, but that combination makes for an extraordinary player. On top of that, outside of some of his shady connections off-the-field, he was a model professional on it.
Era uma mistura de Ronaldo com Zidane. Velocidade com dribles improváveis. 😮
Thx for the video!!! What an amazing player 😮 Never thought he was that fast and skilled. No doubt he deserved Ballon D’Or!!!
Also what a mentality to cope with CR7, he’s a complete player in all facets 🙌🏼
So happy he got his ballon d'or his carrer was so beautiful! Thank you sir!
O jeito que o Benzema jogava no Lyon me lembra o Neymar quando jogava no santos.
I REMEMBER FERGUSON WANTED TO BRING HIM OR HUNTELAAR TO MAN UNITED IN AROUND 2007 OR 2008 SEASON.
GOOD THING THAT HE WENT TO MADRID AND SHOWED AMAZING PERFORMANCE THERE
Era um jogador muito diferente que ele atualmente
Son toucher de balle🔥 le calme avec lequel il exécute ses actions, ballon d’or level
Benzema and Mbappé, 2 Algérians origin like Zidane !
🇩🇿🇩🇿🇩🇿
Toujours un homme des grands matchs
los que dicen que benzema fue solo real madrid un prime efimero. estan locos este cracks lo llevo viendo desde aca y su etapa con cr7 dandole mucho pase y mobilidad. este tipo es un amo y se merecio su balon de oro, los que criticaron jamas sabran algo de futebol
Very fitting to wear no.10 on his shirt. A truly unique and special striker! Vision and techniques of a 10, physique of a 9. Cristiano was truly blessed to have him as his strike partner for so many years
Totally a different player that is today 😳 Really this guy look totally an other player, i doesn't look the benzema we see in Champions League, crazy how a player can change in the years. Only respect for this player
As a Madrid fan back then, I really wish to see him play in Madrid shirt one day. I was so happy when he join us in 2009. But at the same time CR also join Real Madrid. I was like "oh no, they will prefer Raul, Higuain and CR and less playing time for Benzema". Thankfully he is so humble and patience enough being a back up player with his quality - and chose stay with us until his time to be a regular starter.
Bro he is obviously inspired by R9, Karim the 9 that was a 10, so intelligent
Absolute legend for Madrid. Still can't believe he's gone
Brilliant complete striker: two footed, amazing dribbling, finishing, playmaking, strong, fast
Benzema é craque
지금 벤제마는 굉장히 시스템적인 축구를 하지만 벤제마 벤아르파 리옹에서 신성으로 떠오를 때 플레이 몇번 보고 딱드는 생각이 "아 얘는 제2의 호나우도다." 였음 ㅋ 그땐 플레이가 날것의 무언가가 있었음
아게로나 호날두나 벤제마나 어렸을때 저런식의 개인기와 드리블을 사용하면서 90분을 뛸 기술과 카디오가 밑바탕이되니 현대축구의 전술에서도 두각을 나타내는거같음..
격투기도 딜라쇼나 도미닉크루즈 같은 최고수준의 타격가들도 처음엔 엄청난 카디오랑 코어힘을 요구하는 레슬링으로 시작했다는데, 비슷한거같음
He was a beast on the left side
Karim GOATzema 🐐👑
Id argue as a player hes one of the most underrated. When people talk about great ballers he never really comes up in conversation despite the longevity of his career.
I dont think of him as a good striker, i think of him as a good footballer. He could do a little bit was everything: heading, dribbling, speed, technical shots, ball control, balance, passing. A player that you could rely upon to do a job that you ask him to do, with no complaints. Always willing to do what was required for the team.
He's one of the most technically gifted player in the world of football
People thought Benzema was just an ordinary player, but you can't put on that NO# 9 shirt at Real Madrid for such a long time unless you deliver, he played as a winger most of the time at Real Madrid while Ronaldo played as a centre forward but on formation it was showing that he was the centre forward,
Hala Madrid Hala Benzema ❤ World class player with honour and loyalty🔥🦾
Habitant près de Lyon… je l’es suivit de la CFA au Réal de Madrid… un pur bonheur… pour qui a su l’apprécier… (ça ne m’intéresse pas de savoir qui est… ou étaient le meilleur !)… j’ai juste su apprécié ce joueur qui a écrit lui même sa légende malgré tous les bâtons qu’ont lui a mis dans les roues 😉
he was genius
If Benzema was not in Real Madrid at Ronaldo’s time, we would have seen this on a regular basis
Benzema est venu s'imposer dans un groupe lyonnais déjà en place et très compétitif dès son plus jeune âge il marchait sur la ligue 1
La suite est connue venu a ses 19 ans avec une concurrence explosive au Real Madrid le plus grand club du monde
Sa longévité son mental sa persévérance son palmarès individuel et collectif parle pour lui
Son talent sa classe footballistique
Finir ballon d'or
Ce joueur n'avait pas besoin d'être en sélection pour tout exploser sur son passage
Benzema reste et restera le meilleur joueuret attaquant français et de très loin
N'en déplaise aux imposteurs 👌🏽
NUEVE 💪🏽
Top 5 striker of mine ever ! I’ve always been a benzema fan .. as this highlight shows even before Madrid
En esta época se parece mucho a Ronaldo Nazario
Benzema had his career ruined by CR arrival at Madrid. Seriously. He was always doing the dirty job in the pitch for Cris to shine. The times that he's has an opportunity, he was already tired and then couldn't even finish properly, giving him a bad finisher fame, which was unfair. When Cris was gone, he could rest more in the pitch, which automatically enhanced his football level drastically.
Ruined by CR7 is unfair to say the least.. football is a team sport and Cristiano was a better and more established finisher than Benz, Benzema’s adaption to the role he played ensured his longevity both in an individual capacity and in the RM squad. He upgraded from a talented but strictly centre forward to a Playmaker forward and became an irreplaceable asset for the team till the day he left Madrid. So even though he lost on say 75/80 odd goals, but in the process he became a Legend
@@hadikhan5197 indeed. And all of this happened because he found out ways of how to adapt himself to the role, as he was originally a second striker Lyon. If it wasn't all of this situation we can see surely he could be a more awarded player. There's another thing that made Benzema lesser that he was. The Valbuena episode. That was I think his disgrace at international level in such a way that even in the last world cup the other players pushed him up out the national squad.
Benzema Lyon is similar to Zidane, his ball control and dribbling are amazing
Agree
The first full game I saw Benz in was that match against Man United in Lyon. He was unbelievable and gave them the run around. I think it was that match that really made Alex Ferguson wanna sign him, but he obviously chose Madrid. I followed him ever since and he’s had a great career, becoming a Real Madrid legend in the process. To consistently be Madrid’s striker - under that pressure of the club - after so many years is just incredible. Many quality strikers haven’t lasted long there like Benz did.
His style was like his idol’s, R9!!
He plays like a mix of R9 and Zidane
Benzema the punisher Whenever you make a mistake, he will punish you.
Young benzema really move like zidane, his gameplay, speed , turning, shooting, body strength are resembly of zizu
