🗣'When I watched him, I tried to understand everything he did: the goals, the shots, the passes, the ball controI.' Benzema has become one of the best in world football, he has revealed how much his former team-mate helped him to achieve greatness. 🙌
The 34-year-old scored an incredible 44 goals in 46 games in all competitions as he helped his side to La Liga and Champions League glory.He's enjoyed a superb term having 'dissected everything' about ex-teammate Ronaldo, saying the Manchester United star has inspired his success. Benzema explains how he studied Ronaldo's game during their nine-year spell together in Spain, but admitted that he will never be able to replicate the 37-year-old's lofty achievements.
"Because I'm having a great season, I think. I was present during many important matches, I managed differences," he added.AdvertAsked if he'd vote for himself, he replied:"Yes, of course, because I love my game, I love what I do on the pitch. I play the football that I always wanted to play. "The way I play on the pitch represents my vision of football. For example, if I saw another player doing what I do on a pitch, I would vote for them."AdvertBut he's remained humble enough to acknowledge the role his former club colleague has played in his goal-scoring exploits this season.
