Edu Aguirre's Interview with Karim Benzema Didn't Go as Planned. He went to interview him in Arabia, but Benzema didn't say what he wanted to hear.
The President of Cristiano Ronaldo's Fan Club wanted to hear from the Frenchman that his admired Cristiano Ronaldo has been the best player in history.
The Best in History Is Not Cristiano Ronaldo
Benzema didn't mention Leo Messi, which would be the most common answer anywhere in the world except in Madrid. But he also didn't side with Cristiano Ronaldo, with whom he shared nine years and knows well. Including his flaws.
For Benzema, according to what he told Edu Aguirre, the best is Ronaldo Nazario.
Benzema distanced himself from Cristiano, who recently told the same interviewer: "I do everything in soccer, I play well with my head, I take good free kicks, with my left foot..."
"One thing is preferences and I respect that, but I'm the most complete, I'm the best in history," he added. He made it clear that he doesn't need flatterers or sycophants, he is enough on his own.
Benzema has said: "I don't like making comparisons between players, I think each one has their own story and he has his, he's very good."
"Barça Won the Clásico 0-4 and I Want to Cry and Go Home"
Edu Aguirre didn't mention in the interview one of his most viral "objective" historical comments made throughout his sports career.
It was in 2017 after a 0-4 by Barça at the Bernabéu. The "objective" Edu Aguirre lost the nerves and the equanimity that doesn't characterize him and went to El Chiringuito to say the following:
Edu Aguirre: "Benzema NO PUEDE PONERSE LA CAMISETA del Real Madrid NI UN PARTIDO MÁS"
"I feel like crying, like going home, but you have to face it and be sad.
"I Thought Madrid Was Going to Make a Statement"
I'm very sad, it's not a feeling of anger or fighting against referees. It's sadness. This morning I woke up, and I was truly convinced, I said it all week, that Real Madrid was going to make a statement.
You go with hope and it's very sad. You see that in the first half there was a great Real Madrid, and Suárez's first goal is a stab in the heart.
And when Carvajal was sent off, I already knew that the 2027-18 League was over.
And with much sorrow. Tomorrow will be another day, but today I'm going to bow my head and reflect. And knowing that this Madrid has given us a lot, but there are many things that need to change.
"Benzema Can't Wear This Jersey for Another Minute"
There are many things that can't continue for another match. For example, Benzema wearing the Real Madrid jersey for even one more minute. I believe it from the heart, as a Madridist that I am.
It bothers me a lot that they criticize Kovacic, but what's happening with Benzema is a scandal."
Yes, a scandal. Real Madrid won the Champions League that year with Benzema. And with Benzema, they conquered another one.
Even though he confesses to being a "Madridist," the white club did well in not listening to him about Benzema's jersey. It's the level of some of the insightful analysts of El Chiringuito.
On this topic, it's certain that Edu Aguirre didn't make the slightest comment in his exclusive world premiere interview with Karim Benzema.
Rarely has a fan disguised as an informant been so exposed.
