After announcing the winner of the Golden Ball Award 2022 on Monday, former Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane hailed his French citizen Karim Benzema, the Royal striker.
At the “Shatle” theatre in Paris, the French capital, striker Karim Benzema was presented with the Golden Ball Award for 2022 by his fellow countryman and former coach Zinedine Zidane.
In response to the question of whether Karim Benzema is the greatest striker in the annals of French football, Zidane told the French daily “L’Equipe,” “Everyone has his favourite player. Some may claim that he is Jean-Pierre Baban, with his extraordinary goals, while others will mention Michelle Platini. However, in my opinion, it is kind.
”
“Because I was around him and I know his value, in any case he deserves to be always at a top rank, I hope it will continue for a long time,” the former Real coach continued.
The French legend Zidane continued: “I hope that he will always break the records and shine on the field with Real Madrid and with the French national team.
“After a standout season with Real Madrid in 2021–2022, in which he helped Al-Maraneji win the Spanish League and Champions League crowns, as well as the La Liga and Champions League scorer award, the European Super Cup, and the Spanish Super Cup, Karim Benzema was named the Golden Ball Award 2022.
Zidane calls Benzema “the best in the history of French football” in his Golden Ball 2022 speech.
