When coach Marcelo Gallardo signed for Al Ittihad, he said he was happy to work with Karim Benzema, a player who has won practically everything in football.
Benzema would leave Saudi Arabia to return to Europe and sign with the least expected club
“I am very happy to work with him, because he did very well in a very difficult tournament like the Argentine one and he is very close to the players. I like that a lot, because it is always good to be able to sit down and talk about football with your coach, but I also want to say that he was a very good player and he only played with one or two touches, something not easy,” were Gallardo’s words about Karim.
The Argentine did not meet the Karim Benzema he described, since the Frenchman wants to leave Al Ittihad, among many things, due to the constant criticism he receives.

Benzema has not trained for six days and after trying to hide it in every possible way, Marcelo Gallardo exploded and erased him from the club.
Gallardo decided to leave him out of Al Ittihad’s preseason and it is most likely that Karim will not continue in the Saudi Arabian League.
Benzema had until Friday the 12th as the deadline to return to practice, but he did not attend work. The last time he participated in a game was on December 26 in the 5-2 defeat against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr.
