Nothing Special About Rodri As A Footballer -Benzema

Former Real Madrid and France striker Karim Benzema says there is nothing special about Ballon d’Or winner Rodri as a player.

Benzema said this after the Ballon d’Or award which saw his former Madrid teammate Vinicius miss out despite being tipped as favourite.

“I saw what Vinicius did… I don’t want to talk about France Football or France. As I said a long time ago, and not just this year,” Benzema, a former Ballon d’Or winner himself told El Chiringuito TV.

“Last year too and when I was at Real Madrid too. Vinicius is a player who has always made a lot of effort and it’s not just about scoring goals.

“Last year, when Real Madrid were European champions, Vinicius was decisive in every game. So… I don’t think there is anyone else who deserves it more than Vinicius.

“I have nothing against Rodri, who is a good player, but I am on my sofa, I watch television and Rodri does not do things that make me say ‘Pffff’, and Vinicius has done that more than once.”
