The 36-year-old Mr. Golden Ball has an annual salary of 200 million and only scores 12 goals
Beijing time, according to Saudi journalist Riyadiya, Jeddah League player Karim Benzema will miss Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as he will miss Thursday's training session.
Although the Spanish media "Marca" said that Macoma left the team due to a leg injury, the 36-year-old Mr. Golden Ball's professionalism in the transfer market once again aroused suspicion, you must know that Benzema was fired in the transfer market for less than six months, was exposed to a series of scandals such as firing the head coach and turning his face with his fans.
In the summer, Benzema joined the Jeddah Union following his old comrade-in-arms Cristiano Ronaldo. Jeddah FC's ** to Benzema is 200 million euros, the same as Cristiano Ronaldo. It's clear that Jeddah and his team-mates want to get Benzema like Cristiano Ronaldo and get more attention.
But unfortunately, after half a year, Benzema's play on and off the pitch has not been recognized. Since joining Real Madrid, Benzema has scored 12 goals and provided five assists in 20 appearances. Although Benzema's performance is not bad, the Jeddah Union is in sixth place under him, 25 points behind the Riyadh Crescent, and it is almost impossible to keep his position.
Off the pitch, criticism of Benzema has also been incessant. After two consecutive defeats in the AFC Champions League, Benzema and manager Nuno broke out into a big battle. Jeddah also joined Benzema's camp by sacking head coach Nuno. Unfortunately, although the managers are all supporting Benzema, Jeddah's performance after the head coach took office has not been ideal.
Supporters of the Jeddah League, after last week's big win against Cristiano Ronaldo's team Riyadh, can no longer stand Benzema, and have angrily denounced Benzema as a "son of failure" on their social platforms. Not to be outdone, Benzema turned off his Weibo and announced that he would no longer participate in the competition, still "playing big names".
In just six months, Benzema has been unanimously criticized by Saudi Arabia, saying that he is not Ronaldo, but a distinguished guest with high status. Indeed, they are all Saudi Mr. Golden Balls, but their salaries are about the same. Compared with President Rowe, Benzema is really far behind.
