Benzema defends himself over his lack of goals, says Al-Ittihad is not Madrid

French footballer Karim Benzema was asked by a journalist about his poor form this season and he did not hesitate to attack his club. "Al-Ittihad don't have the same game as Real Madrid, they are not the same players," he replied.

Benzema went further and complained that he can't win on his own: "I need help on the pitch. I need a lot of things". He also recalled that this is his first campaign in Arab football. 

Meanwhile, he spoke again about a possible departure from the Saudi side, to which he did not close the door: "Every day there is news about my transfer. The most important thing for me is my work here and we'll see what happens in the future". 

The former Madrid player is not having the best of times in Saudi Arabia. In fact, there have been rumours about a possible return to Olympique Lyon or continuing his career with a Premier League club.
