Carlo Ancelotti, in a recent interview with RMC, shared his thoughts on Karim Benzema’s current form and role within the team. The former Lyon striker has experienced a resurgence in effectiveness, proving valuable beyond just scoring goals. Ancelotti emphasized Benzema’s contribution to the team’s possession play and highlighted his versatility and completeness as a player. He even drew comparisons between Benzema and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, noting their shared tendency to drop back and involve themselves in team play. Ancelotti also acknowledged that the combination of Benzema with Bale and Ronaldo has been complementary, perhaps benefitting from the absence of competition from Higuain this season. However, Ancelotti suggested that Benzema could still progress, particularly in terms of showing more personality and assertiveness on the field, aspects where he believes the influence of Zinedine Zidane has been beneficial.
