Karim Benzema is playing his best football this season. He is a leader on the pitch. He never “fights” for the ball. Some said he lost weight and became a better athlete. But do not dismiss the coaching genius of Carlo Ancelotti, who phased out a football club, built in the image of C Ronaldo, for something new.
Benzema will win the top FIFA award in December demonstrating one thing: the ant-hills are not built by the elephants but by the collective efforts of the little neglected ants. If he delivers like this next season, a new book would be ordered, closing the CR era, for good in RM.
Of course, in Real Madrid, it is always hard to do that unless you are CR and Raul. In other words, it is one of the few clubs where even the #1 feels he is not settled because of the level of talent. Check Kaka, Owen, Beckham, etc. Barcelona FC has a better human-tradition.
