Al-Ittihad striker, Karim Benzema, is facing a challenging time in Saudi Arabia, as he grapples with a three-month goal drought. The former Real Madrid star, who has been struggling to replicate his past success, has pointed fingers at his teammates for not providing him with the support he needs to shine on the field.
Despite being a former Ballon d’Or winner, Benzema has only managed to score nine goals this season. In a recent interview with Action with Walid, the Frenchman expressed his frustration, stating that the game in Saudi Arabia is different from what he was used to at Madrid. He emphasized the importance of teamwork, stressing that he cannot carry the team on his own.
“It’s because it’s not the same game, it’s not the same players, I need to be helped. I need help on the pitch. I can’t win the game alone. I need a lot of things,” Benzema lamented.
As Benzema continues to navigate through this rough patch, his plea for support from his teammates highlights the challenges he is facing in adapting to a new environment. Will his teammates step up to the plate and help him rediscover his scoring touch? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for more updates on Benzema’s journey with Al-Ittihad.
