This week Al Ittihad is scheduled to face Damac in the SPL. I hope Al Ittihad is able to win this match, because in the last 5 matches Al Ittihad has not been able to win a single match. So if, for example, in this match Al Ittihad loses to Damac, of course that will be Al Ittihad's worst record this season. This season Al Ittihad's condition is indeed worrying, because many of its main players suffered injuries at the end of this season. What I know is that if I'm not mistaken, 14 Al Ittihad players are injured, and the majority of injured players are main players such as Benzema, Fabinho. Maybe that's why Al Ittihad's performance at the end of this season is getting worse.
However, in this match, even though Al Ittihad only played with minimal players, they should still be able to produce very good results (victory). Because if you look at the head to head record between Al Ittihad and Damac, the result is that Al Ittihad is superior with 2 wins, 2 draws and only experienced 1 defeat.
Regarding Karim Benzema, we know he could not have the good performance we were expected to see from him and he has been out of his good form since he joined Al Al Ittihad. In fact, when Al Ittihad hired Benzema they were hoping to see the same good performance they saw from Benzema when he was playing in Real Madrid for a year. Still, he couldn't, and since he joined Al Ittihad he was mostly injured. He couldn't play in many important games for Al Ittihad so far during this season which made the fans disappointed in their superstar and expensive player.
Now it seems even Benzema himself is tired of this situation and he wants to leave Al Ittihad and feels regret about joining this team.
So if he decides to leave next season, I think this is the right choice for Benzema. Because if for example Benzema tries too hard to stay at Al Ittihad, I'm afraid Benzema's performance will get worse and in the end no team will want to recruit him again.
Even if you look at it from a financial perspective, it would certainly be very profitable for Benzema if he continued to stay at Al Ittihad until his contract expires in 2026. Because if for example Benzema stayed at Al Ittihad until his contract expired, then Benzema would definitely get a lot of money. So that after that he can immediately retire from the world of football and enjoy the money he has earned so far.
So the point is that currently Benzema will definitely be a little confused about his choice. Because of course there are only two choices, the first is money and the second is comfort when playing.
