I don't know if Rodrygo ever played as a center forward. But he seems more suitable as the right winger in Real Madrid. He is a quick player, he can deliver good assists, and he has accuracy in shooting. With his ability and his height (1,74 m), the ideal position for him is a winger (not a center forward). In my opinion, he must improve his physical strength and his height if he wants to be a center forward. If Real Madrid has no money, they can use the alternative to make Rodrygo be a CF. But if Real Madrid has a money to buy top striker, it is better to buy a new striker (Mbappe should be the ideal CF).

That's a better decision for him. He can focus to get another UCL again with real madrid rather than always think about how to be included in the national team that didn't make him feel satisfied with it. I hope that real madrid will give him new contract as soon as possible. Real madrid already hunted some new strikers as a replacement for him but he will have more years to stay in real madrid. Im still waiting his performance with real madrid despite his injury that was always preventing him to play with the club.
He is such a beast striker.

If Messi go to the next world cup he might not be able to perform very well,I believe luck was at their side for them to win this year's world cup he has lost few in previous finals. The god of soccer favoured Argentina because they won the world cup last in 1986 which was 36yrs ago before this year victory. France didn't win as they were the defending champion,I don't see any country carrying the world cup back to back anymore it was in the 90s that such things can happen. Messi will have nothing to over if he goes to the next world cup as young stars will dominate the tournament.

Therefore, no matter how big the contribution to the team, it will not really affect this one club because they have always done that from before so it is not too strange if it is rare to see a player who has retired to Madrid.
On the other hand, this also makes the competition a bit more competitive actually because when old players are here it will be very difficult instead of forcing them it is better for them to find new moorings for their club and this will surely happen for Benzema sooner or later.

Rodrygo is a centre-forward but the conditions are still not there and he is also a runner type of player so it is not very suitable. but it would be better if he was honed more in the middle especially for the wings at the moment there are Asensio and also Valverde who actually could be placed in this position too especially with the condition of Benzema who is getting older it is clear that there must be improvement in that. Unless indeed Madrid still want to find another player for that position.

Yeah Messi was also seeming very determined about retiring from his national team. But I have also seen those news such as he won't be retiring soon. Maybe this World Cup title was a motivation for him to play even more time for his country rather than being enough for ending his national team career. Argentina would definitely like to see him playing for them for more years. Because they are very used to playing with a leader like Messi and I don't think they have a backup plan yet to implement in the absence of him.

Benzema's place can still be filled in France by the way. Giroud played really well in this World Cup and scored many goals. He can continue to play in his place or they can find another good striker to fill this place as France have really good talents.

Benzema has been able to make a big contribution to Real Madrid. Madrid management's decision to add a contract for Benzema is very good and right, because the French striker can still be relied upon for the next season. Apart from that, Real Madrid have yet to find the right replacement. Rodrygo and Vinicius are not center forwards but wing stickers. So the Whites' management had to move quickly in the transfer market, a pure striker was required to maintain balance up front.

Yes, that's why when there was a case about Benzema recently I didn't think the case would have any impact on Benzema's own career. Because after all, Benzema's age has also entered its final period, which means, Benzema is ready to retire. Unless Benzema is still obsessed with pursuing achievements like Ronaldo, then maybe Benzema will still continue to play.
But as far as I'm aware of Benzema, Benzema is not too obsessed with winning an individual title, so if Benzema chooses to retire when his contract expires then it will still be fine for him.

So, in the absence of excessive obsession, Benzema will still be able to play freely or at least not be burdened by his own obsession. Therefore, Benzema can still play in a different league if he feels that playing at Real Madrid is too draining and worries about his health.
But as a legendary player, of course, Benzema will still have a good future, whether it will be part of Real Madrid, such as serving on the board or any staff at Real Madrid.

This has also been the case from last season in how many doubted Simeone but he still persisted and said he was capable even though it seemed like a waste with his current condition.
But interestingly last season how bad they were in the end third place is the most comfortable place for them and right now it's not impossible to come back like that regardless of anything I feel right now there are only a few clubs that have the potential to be in the top 4 and of course it rules out Sevilla in terms of this.

Real Madrid have extended with Benzema contract until 2024, this season not running well for Karim Benzema after missing several games with Real Madrid and he loss opportunity with World Cup after injuring. Finally Karim Benzema announced about he has retired from France national team and right now can focus 100% for Real Madrid.

Currently left two years later for Karim  Benzema contract expiry and he has enough time for showing his potential and consistency performance scoring goals on every match, however he has been key player for Real Madrid last season with UEFA Champion League trophy and I think Karim Benzema has potential repeating what did last season for Madrid.

I agree that professionalism comes first. But as long as Benzema stays helpful for the team he would surely stay longer.

Maybe he might not be able to play in the starting eleven until the end of his time at Real Madrid after one point. It depends on whether they make a top striker transfer next summer or some time in the future. I feel like they will surely do this because I don't think Benzema can always show a similar level of performance to the one in the previous season. He would start being less productive in scoring goals at one point which might cause him to lose his place in the starting eleven.

Honestly, Kane would be a great acquisition, but due to his age I don't think they are very interested, unless it is for 1 or 2 years maximum, Real Madrid is interested in young players, like Gonzalo from Portugal, or Joao Félix They already have a Vinicius Jr, but I think they are going to get more, because there are already several players who are going to leave Real Madrid little by little and the team's portfolio is open to new options and the best thing is that it will be open to more players, regardless of the price, because it is a really rich team, of course we cannot rule out one of the richest teams like PSG that also wants to strengthen itself and may be Real Madrid's competition.



What happens I know that all these players have a very different style of football, in the case of Benzema it is different, remember that he has a finger that needs surgery, that he has a fractured finger and that little pain sometimes slows down a little despite everything the effort can be made with the legs and feet, a nuisance, however small it may be, is a nuisance, with respect to Benzema retiring, that is up to him, he is a very complete player, and if he wants to retire, he is in everything His right, although I think he should hold on a little longer so he can go to the next World Cup, is a player who has a lot to give.

Griezmann and Lloris didn’t want Benzema on the French national team -report

You know public doesn't know what's going to happen when you see polls like this. We are ignoring and not talking about the poll results, Barcelona leading the league right now, and yes maybe they won't win the league it is still not known. However, the difference is 100+ votes to just 40 or so, that shows you that people have no idea who would win, because if they knew it would have been close like the race.

If Real wins, they will win with close points, not as much difference between them and Barcelona as the poll results indicate. It's fine though, considering sports betting is one of the most profitable business' in the world, it's normal, because we all lose and that's why those companies make so much profit.

Lol
That would obviously be the scariest team for a club like Real Madrid. Hopefully one day it will happen, nothing is impossible in football, even Ronaldo ended up landing at Al Nassr. For now, Haaland is at the right club and treating him as he should. Man City is very loyal to Haaland. As far as I know, Haaland for the next 3-5 seasons will still be seen at Man City. Vinicius Jr, Haaland and Mbappe were up front in perfect formation. It's unimaginable if these three dangerous players complement each other's attacks.

Benzema is currently a Real Madrid icon. He is a legend for the club for his contribution, but I think Benzema will have to face the fact that eventually he will get some time off or retire or not get another contract extension. Currently, Benzema still has the chance to get a contract extension, but I don't think for the next season.

Benzema's career is complete on an individual level, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to continue his career after he is 36 or 37 years old. One thing, his tenure with Real Madrid is coming to an end, that is a reality.

Maybe Benzema thinks that instead of having to spend time with the French national team, it's better for him to devote all his time to Real Madrid. The figure of Benzema for the Los Blancos squad is very important considering that only he is currently the only one who can be a role model as well as the team captain and Carlo Ancelloti seems to be continuing to provide opportunities to play for him. The French national team will grow with young players as you mentioned Mbappe and Nkunku are the best strikers for France at the moment, but as for Benzema's role in the French national team so far there has been no one to replace him.

It's a shame we didn't see him play for France in the World Cup. If he can play then the competition will be even more interesting at that time, especially in the final match against Argentina. Since many players who have brought success to Real Madrid have left, Karim Benzema has become one of the players who can bring success to Real Madrid in La Liga and the Champions League. He also won the Ballon D'oR last season.

I don't think so, the news about a short-term contract extension until 2024 was heard a few months ago, I think this is a signal that he will still be at Mardri. regardless of how his current condition is, he is still very influential, especially when his body is back in shape and now he has decided to leave faster than the French national team and this is certain he will focus more on his career in the domestic league so nothing can making him leave as long as Perez is still happy with his form unless there is a better replacement later this is possible.

This season is truly the antithesis of Atletico Madrid. Instead of being a challenger to Real Madrid and Barcelona, they are now a loser. Now Atletico Madrid fans are starting to doubt Diego Simeone's capacity.

Diego Simeone is one of the highest paid coaches in Europe. He has created a legacy at Atletico Madrid since coming to the Vicente Calderon in 2011. However, it seems that Simeone's golden era is beginning to erode. He was several times inaccurate in making decisions and it seemed that management had to evaluate them immediately.

Can you imagine that Real Madrid are signing Haaland and Mbappe both in the future and building a literally dream team?  

Who knows it isn't impossible in the end. I already think about Mbappe transfer to happen in a few years. I think he will spend his time with PSG for 2 or 3 more years the most - including this one. After that Real Madrid would have the upper hand on signing Mbappe rather than some other team. They were already close to it last summer but PSG's insane contract changed his mind. Real Madrid would just offer a similar contract and convince him. Haaland is also going to be available by paying his release clause in 2 years seemingly. Real Madrid might find a way to lure him also.

There would be an amazing trio of Vinicius Jr - Haaland - Mbappe.
