Young Benzema is the most superstar-quality local striker selected by French football. The similarity in age, technology, appearance, style and experience makes him known as "the combination of Henry and Trezeguet". This game came off the bench and scored a goal for Lyon. He forced the penalty before the final in front of the big shots. Give up my domineering king and predict its bright future. The problem for Lyon now is that there are too many strikers. How Benzema firmly occupies the main position is the primary goal of the next stage.
Anyone who sees Benzema for the first time can easily recognize him as the short-haired version of Atletico Madrid's "Golden Boy" Torres. However, a closer look reveals that Benzema seems to be a little stronger and darker than the Spanish striker. The most impressive thing is Benzema's unusually thick angular eyebrows and the silly smile that often hangs on his face.
He is a boy born in Lyon, but he is also a descendant of Algeria.
Benzema is the biggest discovery of Lyon this season. It was his goal that helped the team get the professional contract for the first time in the previous 10 months in the French Super Cup without nine main players, which shows how amazing the growth speed of this little guy is. At present, Benzema, who has not been fully finalized, is still trying to choose the position that suits him best. Originally, Houllier could only be the right winger in the single striker tactics designed for Lyon this season, but in many games, he often sneaked behind the center to play the role of the second center, and sometimes even went directly to the frontcourt to catch the ball and shoot. And although he is not yet 19 years old, Benzema is full of confidence in his goal. He took the initiative to ask for a penalty, and several key penalties have been successful this season.
With such a strong desire and confidence to shoot, Lyon intends to train him as a new center candidate, especially in the case that Fred is always targeted by European giants, Benzema's future is more optimistic by the club, and a contract until 20 10 has locked his fate with Lyon.
In a Champions League match that ended in June 1 65438+1October1,it was Benzema's goal that helped Lyon beat Dynamo Kiev to qualify early. Interestingly, Benzema's first goal in the team was also completed in the Champions League. Maybe the little guy is a player who only likes big scenes.
After helping France win the U 17 European Youth Championship in 2004, Benzema's goal is to be selected for the French national team. Seeing that Gow and Wiltord, who lived together in the league, were frequently selected as regulars of the national team, Benzema was also excited for the Azzurri.
On the last day of July, "French Football" listed the 50 most noteworthy figures in Ligue 1 in the new season. The first is the record holder of French Ligue 1' s active appearance, with Nasri and Juninho ranked second and third respectively, and Benzema ranked thirteenth. A month later, French football reporters found that their position for Benzema was too low! This Lyon striker, who is only 19 years old, seems to be the best among the more than 400 players in Ligue 1 in the new season!
What kind of player is Benzema? Desailly, a commentator on CANAL+, called it "fantastic level". Deschamps, another great comrade-in-arms of desailly in the national team and his recent colleagues all said that Benzema was a five-star player and was about to become a six-star player, while Anelka said that "I saw myself playing for Arsenal in Benzema".
Only 19 years old, Benzema is full of honor. He once won the European Championship on behalf of French youth teams below 17 and 18 respectively. He won the French League and the French Super Cup with Lyon three times in 2005, 2006 and 2007. He even won the French reserve league in the 2004-2005 season, and Benzema won the championship in July this year.
Benzema is a pure "Made in Lyon" player, and his birthplace is only a few minutes' drive from the Gerland Stadium. Benzema didn't get many league appearances during his three years in the first team. In the first three seasons, he only made 40 appearances in Ligue 1 and scored 6 goals, but if you consider that most of his games were played as a last-minute substitute, the total time was less than 2000 minutes. For a teenager, this is already a good result. Last year 1 1 month, Benzema 18 was selected by Domenech into the French national team. Unfortunately, due to a thigh muscle strain in the league before going to Clare Fontaine, the day of playing alongside Thuram had to be postponed until March this year.
In the new season, Lyon has been plagued by injuries. So far, Fred has not been able to set a date for returning to the team. Coupled with Wiltord's departure, Benzema finally got a chance to play continuously. After seven official matches (1 Super Cup, 6 French matches), people were surprised to find that Benzema's playing time actually ranked first in Lyon (excluding the goalkeeper). In the 630 minutes, Benzema played 6 12 minutes, even surpassing the "Iron Man" Turalang. Benzema has dominated the scorer list with 5 goals in the 6 Ligue 1 matches he has played, averaging 0.83 goals per game!
If we only look at the goal rate, we can only draw the conclusion that Benzema is the killer in front of the door; However, if all the performances are comprehensively analyzed, Benzema's extraordinary talent is really amazing. In four Peace Cup events, one Super Cup and six Ligue 1 matches, Lyon scored 17 goals, and Benzema alone contributed 8 of them! If the Peace Cup friendly match is omitted, Benzema scored 6 of the team's total *** 1 1 goals, with 3 direct assists and 3 indirect assists 1 time. Lyon can stubbornly climb to the fifth place in the standings under the unfavorable situation of full injury, almost entirely by Benzema's own efforts!
The title of the best player in the Peace Cup has increased Benzema's confidence and heroism, and he is full of longing for the new season. "The new season will be Benzema's season," Benzema said in an interview with Lyon TV after the French Super Cup at the end of July. At that time, people thought it was the conceit and unruly of young people. However, after the start of the new season, people were surprised to find that Benzema did better than he promised.
With continuous goals and assists, Benzema showed his all-round quality to the world. All the goals this summer were scored by his left foot, right foot and header, and the diversity of scoring methods is also commendable. What's even more frightening is that Benzema shot 20 times in 6 league games, 9 of which hit the post and 5 scored. High success rate, becoming one of the first-class shooters. His five goals were scored in the face of five different opponents, which proved that teenagers can find ways to score goals in different types of defense and in front of different styles of opponents. Because of his outstanding performance, Baroche, the top scorer in the European Championship in 2004, was firmly nailed to the bench by Benzema after Palin changed his formation from 442 with double forwards to 433 with single center and double wingers.
Last season, France fell into an almost crazy "star-making movement". Everyone regards Marseille genius Nasri as the next Zidane. In fact, this is not only because of Nasri's extraordinary talent, but also because of the French nostalgia for Zidane who just retired. Now, when Benzema is in the limelight, people's support for Benzema is not as much as last year's "second generation of Jizu". Gé rard Elnor, editor-in-chief of French Football, has a typical comment: "He is neither Henry nor Trezeguet. We can't compare him with the stars in history. He has good skills and excellent ability to seize opportunities. He can assist and score. He's next.
Benzema's original contract will expire on June 20 10. On August 10, Lyon President Horace renewed the contract with Benzema, and the new contract was signed until June 20 12. With a long contract and unparalleled football talent, people have reason to believe that Benzema will become another champion dedicated by Horace after Essien and Diarra in a few years, but judging from the performance of the new season, this possibility is not small.
