A busy transfer market is coming up for Real Madrid and of course, one more summer Haaland’s name is on the table. But are these two players compatible? Let’s break it down.
Karim Benzema is that half-warrior, half-dancer player who is capable of scoring a header between the two centre-backs of the rival team, just as he is capable of going down to receive and creating play to put the last pass on you. However, Haaland is the total striker, he is the definition of a goal, a man who has scored 50 goals in 50 Bundesliga games, therefore they are players who should be compatible in a 1-4-2-3 scheme -1 or in a 1-4-4-2.
But well, Haaland is not the main objective of Real Madrid, that is called Kylian Mbappé and the project for the future has to be based on the Frenchman. In both schemes he would enter together with Vini JR, the other pearl of Real Madrid, but are these players really going to withstand the defensive load that these schemes require? NO. Therefore, in a real game idea, you cannot have these four players on the field. So what solutions do we have? Benzema is 34 years old, it may be that until he is 36 he can perform well, but from then on, Karim’s performance will go downhill and without brakes. Haaland must be signed yes or yes, it is the future, so Benzema should be relegated to the bench and not put up any opposition so that a new generation of players takes the reins of Real Madrid, as Marcelo has done.
In short, they are compatible, YES. They could play together on occasion when there are sanctions, rotations, play minutes together, but as starters by decree the two NO. Karim should take a step back and if he doesn’t and creates problems in the locker room, thank you and goodbye Karim. Real Madrid has been there before Benzema and will continue to be after him, just like what happened with Ramos, with Cristiano…
