DBasia.news – Former Real Madrid striker, Dayor Suker rated Karim Benzema is a striker who still has sharp instincts. This can be seen from the Frenchman goal statistics.
Benzema is not too bright with Madrid in the 2019-2020 season this time. The number of his goals for Los Blancos was not too conspicuous. Although he had competed with Lionel Messi as the top scorer, now he is five goals adrift of the Argentinian star.
Nevertheless, his quality as one of the best strikers in the world is hard to deny. The former Lyon player still has sharp instincts when he is in the opponent’s defense line. Suker also believes that.
“I like him as number nine. Today, he is in the history of Real Madrid. “I like the way he plays and there is no doubt that he is one of the best players in the world,” Suker told Goal.
“All I can say is I hope the best for him, and to score many, many goals because, in the end, statistics are the benchmarks of a striker. You have to score a lot of goals to stay on top,” he added.
Benzema himself has played for Real Madrid for 11 seasons. The La Liga giant brought Benzema from Lyon in the summer of 2009.
At that time, Madrid had to spend 35 million euros to bring Benzema. After more than a decade in Real Madrid jersey, Benzema has scored 241 goals so far from 501 matches in all competitions.
