Karim Benzema He did not tell his teammates at any time of his decision to leave Real Madrid. The locker room suspected that the Frenchman could put an end to his adventure at the white club based on what was said in the press, but at no time did the captain gather the team to shed some light on his case. As revealed by Nacho in Cope’s Great Gamewho assured that they were very attentive to his words in the MARCA Leyenda and all the information that appeared in the press, since Karim did not say anything… What’s more, as Manolo Lama told last week, to the few colleagues that they dared to ask him, Karim told them to continue in Madrid.
The forms of Benzema, the absence of a tribute in the stadium (not even a banner) and the sudden statement on Sunday morning suggest that Benzema made the decision to leave at the last moment. This is how Nacho explains how Benzema’s last hours in Madrid were.
“Benzema did not say anything personally to the team, we found out that he was leaving through the statement”
“I can’t tell you when I found out… The day of the MARCA Leyenda had not told us anything, but we were already in doubt like you. He personally didn’t tell us anything, he didn’t say anything to the team. We had the doubt. Personally, he did not say anything to the team, the news broke and we all found out. Madrid issued a statement and we found out. He did not gather the whole team in the locker room, but he is a very introverted person. He sneaks things around, I know Karim well and the ways he uses hit him quite a bit…”.
Modric’s future
Another one that is being talked about a lot is Luka modric, also with an important offer from Arabia on the table. But the first captain of Real Madrid believes that his case is different from that of Benzema. Nacho He does not see Modric outside of Real Madrid.
I know Modric and I don’t think he’s leaving, my feeling is that he stays
“Now I’m with the national team and I don’t see him every day, but my feeling is that he’s staying at Madrid. The news has been out these days, but knowing Luka I don’t think he’s leaving. My feeling is that he’s staying. If we have lucky to reach the final I ask him directly”, said Nacho.
