Cassano criticized Cristiano Ronaldo: “He has to thank Benzema for playing alongside him”

The Frenchman Karim Benzema is going through an impressive scoring present with the Real Madrid shirt, both in LaLiga Santander and in the Champions League. Due to this brilliant level of football, the attacker has received much praise and Antonio Cassano did not hesitate to praise him, although at the same time he took the opportunity to criticize Cristiano Ronaldo.

“Cristiano should pray to Benzema every day and thank him for having played alongside him”, was the first sentence released by the retired Italian athlete in an interview for Bobo TV. Immediately, the remembered striker used the statistics to argue his position.

“We see it now. Before Karim only managed 18 or 20 goals a year, but in the current one he has already reached 50, between goals and assists”, asserted Antonio Cassano, who had the opportunity to join the ranks of Real Madrid between 2006 and 2007, although without much success.

“Benzema was always at the service of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was ultimately in charge of scoring 50 goals a year. Today they are totally different footballers and Karim is a center forward who has the feet of Zinedine Zidane”, sentenced the former Sampdoria player.

Cassano’s criticism of Real Madrid

While Antonio Cassano has only had words of praise for Karim Benzema, circumstances change when it comes to Real Madrid as a whole. “The team plays poorly, because against PSG and Chelsea they were very lucky. sooner or later that will end”, said the Italian.

“Watching LaLiga, if you see Barcelona, ​​which started very late, it’s another music. Carlo Ancelotti makes you feel good, but I can’t think of a player he has improved on in his career”, added the controversial ‘Bambino’.
