How has the relationship between Benzema and Vinicius changed?
Karim and Vinicius have become the perfect couple after a period of turmoil in their relationship, with one of them taking very little to understand what the other wants.
The Spanish newspaper “Marca” referred to the moment when the relationship between Benzema and Vinicius changed, which was when the Frenchman demanded his compatriot Ferland Mendy not to pass to the Brazilian, when he said: “Do not pass to him, he is playing against us.”
That conversation between Benzema and Mendy was in October 2020, between the two halves of the match against Borussia Moenchengladbach in the group stage of the Champions League.
The Spanish newspaper revealed that the next day, Benzema went to Vinicius, and sincerely apologized to him for what happened, and then the French told him that he was his son, so that the Brazilian decided to forgive Karim for what happened.
Benzema’s realization of his mistake made him turn into a mentor to the Brazilian, and Vinicius learned from everything that had happened, showing the continued improvement in their understanding.
From that moment on, Vinicius considered Benzema his reference on the pitch, after that conversation helped break the wall between them, and gave way to complete trust between them.
What did Benzema and Vinicius provide in the 2021-22 season?
