Karim Benzema: “I am happy when I play with Higuain” – La Liga News
Real Madrid striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Karim-Benzema-c20350, has reiterated his desire to play alongside Gonzalo Higuain. Both strikers are in impeccable form, with Jose Mourinho rotating them in his match day squads.
Benzema is enjoying his best form for Los Blancos since arriving from Olympique Lyon in a 35 million Euros deal. In 12 competitive matches this season, he has scored 7 goals to go along with 5 impressive assists.
The Lyon-born player was instrumental in Real Madrid’s emphatic 3-0 victory over Villarreal.
He was in the thick of action, scoring the opener and playing the final ball on Angel di Maria’s goal.
Real are playing a beautiful brand of attacking football, highlighted by their express counter attacks, changing defence into attack with the blink of an eye.
Benzema has continued his rich vein of form from the tail end of last season and started the season as the first choice attacker.
With Gonzalo Higuain scoring goals for fun in his absence, it has become a two way battle. Mourinho has alternated between the two in recent games, depending on the opposition they are encountering.
Benzema has stated that he has no qualms about playing with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 international and winning for Real is his prime concern.
"The important thing is we mark goals and the team wins. I am so happy when I play with Higuain and the group.
“We can be together in the team. We've played together. But this is a coach's decision. Not mine. Mourinho is the one who decides, who knows what is best for the team," he said.
Portuguese tactician, Jose Mourinho, finally has a group of players who are playing for the team and not themselves – a fact highlighted by Benzema.
However, the French ace refused to compare Real Madrid with Barcelona, against whom his team is eternally pitted against for supremacy in the Iberian Peninsula.
"I think we are playing better as a team and the idea is to continue in this fashion. I do not know if we are better than http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604, but we are working for it," the French striker said.
