The Spanish captain and goalkeeper, Iker Casillas, is vary of his club team-mate, Karim Benzema, and hopes that the Frenchman has a bad game against Spain.
Spain have been pitted against the French national team during the quarter-final stage of the Euro 2012. Since these two footballing nations will collide on Saturday, Iker Casillas will be going against his club team-mate, Karim Benzema, and he knows what
he is up against.
Karim Benzema is a phenomenal striker and he has shown it not only while playing for the French national team, but also during his time at Real Madrid.
Benzema’s ability to score and to give the perfect through ball is simply amazing and that is exactly why he is going to be a constant threat for the Spanish defence.

Casillas spoke of Benzema in good terms and also stated that he is hoping that the Frenchman has a bad game so that the Spanish national team can eventually win to qualify for the semi-final stage.

His ability to play in a false 9 position definitely adds to the traits which he possesses. The Frenchman can pass the ball with perfection and also has brilliant finishing, which definitely makes him one of the best strikers in the world.
