Karim Benzema wasn’t welcome for France and shouldn’t be at Arsenal, where one of their great strengths is their lack of ego – apart from the manager, obviously…
At club level, his cantankerousness has been hidden for the most part. He joined Real Madrid as a 21-year-old in the same summer as the King of the pr*cks joined from Manchester United. By his own admission, Benzema was “overshadowed” by Cristiano Ronaldo, who certainly encourages, but also can’t help, stealing the limelight – good or bad – from anyone within his massive orbit.
That perhaps says more about them than it does Benzema. Certainly claims that Griezmann threw his toys out of the pram over the level of social media coverage Benzema was receiving in comparison to him reflects far worse on the man in the squad than the one they were all so keen to keep out. But for them all, or at least so many of them, not to want Benzema around, the Real Madrid star must at the very least be a powerful presence in the dressing room.
Mikel Arteta fought to get rid of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the ‘star’, whom he couldn’t get to fall into line, before handing the leadership reins to a venerable, yet timid successor in Martin Odegaard. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, William Saliba, Thomas Partey are all brilliant, but quietly so, and the risk of bringing in someone loudly brilliant feels like a big risk for potentially little reward.ego at Arsenal. He’s built a squad based on that being the case.
