There's a reason. Those two legends were his football role models growing up. He said multiple times that he watched them over and over to learn from them. Crazy to think that he ended up receving his balon d'or from both of them...
Fucking hell - just posted above : ) : Jeessos Chrise.. I'm ONLY just catching up on this guy?! Took me 25 mins to get through this video! The guy can replicate the skills of R9 (without the speed) and has the touch of Zidane. He studied those two brilliantly. Now I know why he won the Ballon D'OR. What an IQ/ what a player!!! #legend
Because French Team don't treat Benzema like Ballon d'or. he is injury but he can play for the quarter-finals. the doctors of the French team did their job badly by saying that he could not play the whole World Cup But a week after the start of the world cup he played in training at Real... 100% recovered 2 weeks after the start of the cup
La jalousie est une maladie dont certains souffrent les pauvres ils ont crus que l’absence de Benzema les soignerait mais non. Sans être écarté de l’équipe de France pendant 5 ans KB9 aurait au moins 2 ballons d’or (minimum).
His composure reminds me of Zidane - never rushed. Not saying he moves slow or does anything slow, quiet the opposite. Even when he moves fast, reacts fast, executes something fast, he remains calm and collected
Exactement. C'est ça la marque des legendes de ce sport : c'est le fait de reussir a gagner du temps dans des moments et des zones sur le terrain ou il est normalement impossible d'en avoir. Benzema donne l'impression qu'il arrive a ralentir le temps lorsqu'il touche le ballon notamment dans la zone cruciale qu'est la surface de reparation. De plus, il arrive a reunir precision, prise de bonne decision et vitesse d'execution avec la notion d'esthétique : c'est un joueur incroyablement beau a voir jouer, c'est du miel , du caviar ce joueur la. Quelle legende !! KARIM ON T'AIME !
What a pleasure it’s been to watch this guy playing football during 15 years. Most people are glad to have lived during Messi/CR7 era, personally I’m glad to have lived during Benzema era .
(I’m not comparing Benzema with Messi or Ronaldo, of course they are football icons compare to him, it’s just about my personal feelings, I hope you’ll understand me 😊)
The vision,dribbling, close control,link up play,passing, first touch,skills, shooting, benzema on of the best if not the best strikers of all time and the Ballon dòr just cement his legacy
The close control this guy has is just incredible. So many players would freeze up in these situations and not know what to do but this guy always seems to have a way out.
I think one of the most endearing things about him is that in his career, you can say no one ever gets in his head. He does not react to provocation. He gets up and goes again...well, until that urchin Gavi.
@@mohitdeshmukh3398si Benzema s'est emporté pour la premiere fois de sa carriere face a un joueur, c'est que le type l'avait merité... Et quand je me rends compte que c'etait Gavi, et bien je me dis qu'il avait merité car c'est une veritable petite garce sur le terrain le Gavi...
@@Ivan-iq8bu as I said R9 is my favourite player. In fact he's more than that, he's the reason I even love football. So this was very difficult for me to concede Benzema is more technically perfect than R9. The way I see it is that R9 is purely more skillfull(aka dribbling and tricks) and deadly in front of goal but benzema has better first touch, volleys and curl shot technique. He's also better than r9 in connecting the play between midfield and striker.(better passing). Does that make him a better player than R9, No. but I just feel like technically he might be better. what do you think?
The Combination of amazing technique and fantastic vision He is simply a joy to watch... Big Benz, King Karim, One of The Greatest Strikers in the modern Era...
It's so tough to play so small on a pitch so big, KB9 play can transpose the 5 vs 5 skills and technique vision like is nothing... For a guy so tall to have such abilities in tight space it's really impressive. I would love to see Odegaard playing with him, It will remind me Ozil and Benzema
I see a lot of people underestimating Benzema, saying he's a one-season player. Anyone who says he's a one-season player doesn't understand anything about football.
No one ever would argue about the quality that Benzema has, nor the importance of him to real madrid.Nevertheless, beside these advantages I’m must admit that there are also drawbacks which are as follows: * Benzema is playing a fantastic complex role in terms of using every tiny space in the field and knowing when to move based on his analysis to the opponents and their tactics + their defense weaknesses. He can easily cause a trouble to the strongest defense by luring the defenders to get them away from their defense line which makes a space other Madrid player can run into. * Benzema scoring abilities is excellent, he might not be the best striker to score goals but lets agree that he has the quality of a striker especially in the last few years. You can check on some of his goals are truly legendary like his goal against Osasuna in 2012 and against Ajax in 2013. * Karim Benzema is a great playmaker. His passing and playmaking is from another level. Just watching him passing the ball is so satisfying I really wanted to become a player wth multiple abilities like him❤️. Now, imagine him retiring or transferred to another club who in the world will be capable of replacing him with all of the abilities and qualities we just mentioned earlier? Unfortunately, Real Madrid depended on Benzema a little too much to the point that the team offense machine cannot work well without him. This will be the sad story of madrid in the coming seasons💔
For me Benzema is the best striker in this era, especially last 15 years Skills, dribble, composure, finishing, calmness also he's not selfish Haaland, Lewandowski cannot offer that much
You see why the French squad was jealous of Karim. Besides all the technical stuff , he just doesn’t bring that glamour to the pitch,which most players do. The whole package guy for sure.
His time with CR7, although he wasn't the main guy, has crafted him to be the clinical player he is today. Absolute joy to watch He deserves all the best ❤💙
France is really a special nation they have a few strikers that are the perfect combo of a 9 and a 10 with the likes of Benzema, Griezmann and Cantona. all three of them are so smooth on the ball, are goal treats and playmaking treats all at the same time. players like those mentioned are so enjoyable to watch
Le beau football: collectif, précis, rapide, ingénieux, visionnaire, efficace et ... propre! Bravo au joueur légendaire du plus grand club du monde! Un Benz sinon Rien! 😇

The fact that his role in RMFC is much more important than CR7 is verified true. He is the one who brought Madrid to be on top of European football. Superb.
Karim Benzema, un joueur hors norme , un footballeur de très grande qualité. C'est un plaisir de le voir jouer du foot de très haut niveau. Bravo à Mr Karim Benzema pour sa longévité et competivité.
Lors d une interview il avait tout juste 20 ans il avait été elu meilleur joueur du championnat français et avait été élu meilleur jeune espoir européen il avait dit j ai trois rêves, acheter une maison à mes parents jouer au réal de Madrid car il y avait ses 2 idoles r9 et zidane et enfin gagner le ballon d or je pense que tout est dit
Benzema - da Vinci of football! He made football much more enjoyable and added another flavor of entertainment. Wish to see Benzema coach a team (maybe RMA?) and develop skillful, high IQ players as himself one day.
Je connaissais pas ça de notre KBnueve 😢🎉🎉 wahou que ces beaux.. que des dribbles où il se crée des situations intéressantes actuellement où certains en font trop .. quel artiste 🎉🎉❤
I played with a good buddy of mine in high school and club. I never understood what the club coach saw in him until years later. He was never as good as everyone else, always a little behind in skills compared to rest of team. He kept recruited both of us for 3 years straight together. Other team could smell his lacking from a mile away. The defenders would position themselves as if he were to pass the ball, they wouldn't guard him as hard as the others when he had the ball. This allowed him to score many "out of nowhere" goals, and when he started doing this in a match they would defend him more seriously which opened up his teammates for a pass to score. He scored goals you never thought he would and many match winners in tournaments. He was a nightmare for other teams, and I never saw it like that back then. Never knew what he was gonna do, and he could score from almost any angle randomly. Wouldn't want any other player to play up top with me besides him. I understand my coach now. Reminds me of how In my co-ed league right now, the male defenders would rather let the girl shoot then give a pass to their male teammates. Not a big surprise most goals are scored by the girls.
He loves when the penalty area is crowded and rushing towards him to cut the ball, because he is always the most composed in this situation, that's why he scores a lot of goals this way.
Im a real madrid fan, and i still didnt like this guy for a very long time, i thought he wasnt good enough, but in the last couple of years he convinced me he is one of the best strikers ever, what a remontada this guy did
The debate btw Benzema & Suarez comes here Benzema plays like a CF while Suarez plays like a ST and Benzema irritates the opposite defence more breaking their stability. I am not telling that Suarez is baf but Benzema received so much critics while winning the ballon d'or
Je me souviens d un derby entre l atletico madrid et le réal de Madrid, benzema s était blessé quelques jours avant et on avait posé la question à luis suarez, luis suarez avait dit que c était un gros avantage pour l atletico mais pour la beauté du foot et du derby luis suarez espérait que benzema soit présent
He is the combination of Zidane + R9

@@Kakakikakaka10 This is the comment! You expressed my thoughts beautifully. Thank you.
Yes, the comparison with Lewy is absurd too. Benz more like R9 or Raul, while Lewy is more like Ruudtje

Argentina can see thank you to the French coach. He got a lot of temper. But no very good brain.
Me too i loved him from the time he was in Lyon with juninho ,when he came to madrid i loved him more

Karim Ballon D'OR Zema🌟
A flamboyant player 🔥🔥
He has a Ballon d'or at least for all his troubles
He plays with such elegance, plays with both feet, good at headers, scores goals, assists, dribbles ... He is the perfect player
Amazing player, the best striker of France ever. The same level as Zidane 😎
No !
I remember years ago some people told me that Suarez was a better dribbler...I laughed so hard, and I still do!
Complete genius
second best striker of the history behind his idol el phenomeno
True
Agreed :)

Benzema plays some of the purest football I have ever seen.
For me Benzema is the best striker in this era, especially last 15 years
Skills, dribble, composure, finishing, calmness also he's not selfish
Haaland, Lewandowski cannot offer that much
I agree, Zlatan is close in terms of completeness.
Karim El gato Benzema, definition of a false 9 🔥. Rom7000 please don’t ever stop making videos
this is real art of football than goal makers only, zidane n benz the artists, amazing players!
One of my favorite all the time
And for all this excellence he's very gentlemanly on the field.. no dismissals through out career till now
SO true i always say the same, never a bad behaviour, never dives for a penalty, he only plays football.
With just a little more speed Big Benz would be held in the same regard as Zidane and R9. Criminally underrated
He was silkier and smoother R9🔥🔥
Je suis de France tu vien d ou ? Tu l air de bien connaître le football
Missing him in world cup so bad😭
Those who never saw him play at Lyon will never understand why we say that playing alongside Cr7 ruined him.
it didn't "ruin" him. It also brought him a lot of success. Real Madrid simply wouldn't have the success they did in that era without him.
There is no No.9 like Benzema, nor in history.
Suarez…
@@Al-oe7md😂lol
