Since when Benzema is not striker anymore? I should watch Real Madrid games more often
He was forced deeper to search for the ball and link up with others because he had frigging 8 english defenders between him and the french midflied lol

It was nothing to do with having Barca as rolemodel, its how Benzema plays, he search space and teammates to link up with. He could stay inside the box and be surrounded by almost entire english team who would easily neautralize him even more (fantastic defence), but what would be the point of that? (Giroud would touch the ball even less if he played) The few times he was dangerous was outside the box shots or running into it deep in 1-2s.

That's why i ve always admired benzema, he has the tactical awareness and skill to be where he is needed the most.

Sheva deserves a goal today.
I hope his geriatric back acts up again, but not enough to be subbed out and sub in more useful player :p
