Against Al-Raqi Castle, Benzema failed to score a goal for the seventh consecutive match with the Al-Ittihad team. The last time he scored against opponents was against the Egyptian Al-Ahly Club, on December 15, 2023, in the second round match of the Club World Cup, hosted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The “mind” is merciless, Karim Benzema
The phrase “the body is unforgiving” is always said; When the performance of major stars declines after they grow old, as is currently happening with Karim Benzema, in the ranks of Al-Ittihad Club.
With Karim, another sentence can be added, which is, “The mind is merciless.” The French striker appeared in the Jeddah derby, unable to make sound decisions every time he received the ball.
For example, Benzema launched a quick attack in the 74th minute of the derby, and when he approached the 18-yard area, he appeared unable to make the right decision, whether by shooting or passing to his Moroccan teammates Abdel Razzaq Hamdallah and the Brazilian Romarinho. To waste a real opportunity for the dean.
This poor decision-making appeared on more than one occasion during the first half, even though the French striker presented some technical glimpses that impressed the fans. Like passing the ball between the feet of Turkish Merih Demiral, Al-Ahly club defender.
Therefore, Karim Benzema must review himself, not only athletically and physically, but also mentally. It seems that he lost his mind on the field, focusing on external matters.
