French striker Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema mocked his compatriot Olivier Giroud, likening himself to a Formula One car while the English striker Chelsea was just a karting car.
In light of his distance from the French national team since 2015 against the backdrop of the scandal extorting his colleague Matteo Valbuena with a pornographic video, Benzema contented with watching Jiro lift the World Cup in the summer of 2018 after crowning the "roosters" the World Cup title Russia.
Responding to a question about the Chelsea striker during an Instagram question-and-answer session, Benzema said, "You cannot confuse a Formula One car and karting, and here I am speaking nicely (that is, he does not want to hurt Jero more than that), I know that I am a Formula One car." He has his career, he does what he wants and sets the goals he wants for himself. "
Benzema touched on the presence of Jiro with the French team, saying, "If we talk about the style of play, then his style suits the French team, it is good that there are players like (Killian) Mbappe or (Antoine) Griezmann who enjoy speed or start around the spearhead."
"He is at the front, turning on the defenders, allowing others (Mbabe and Griezmann) to move better and demonstrate their capabilities, he is holding (the defenders)."
Benzema scored 19 goals in 32 games with Real Madrid this season before stopping because of the new Corona virus, while Jiro only played the alternative role in Chelsea despite his good performance in February.
