Benzema: ‘Anyone who criticizes Messi has no idea about football’
Karim Benzema has no doubts about Lionel Messi’s performance at Paris Saint-Germain and claimed in the interview he gave to France’s Telefoot that anyone who criticizes the Argentine has no idea about football.
Lionel Messi returned to Paris Saint-Germain action for the game against Reims (23/1, 21:45, Novasports 2HD and live by Sportish), almost 20 days after being diagnosed positive for coronavirus in his home country during the Christmas holidays which was what delayed his return to France.
The Argentinian superstar has worn the Paris shirt since last August but his performances have not resembled his good self at Barcelona, which has often been commented on as he has hit the net six times in 16 games.
However, Karim Benzema was keen to put things right after speaking to Telefoot about his longtime rival. In fact, the France international claimed from Real whoever judges that they have no clue about football.
“How can he not do it in Paris? It’s just an adjustment period because he doesn’t score many goals. But look what he’s doing on the pitch.” Anyway, you can’t criticize a player like that. “Anyone who criticizes Messi doesn’t really understand anything about football.”
