Benzema big admirer of Vinicius
“I try to make other people better,” he told France soccer. “Take Vinicius for example. I know I helped him. You have to ask him questions and he is not the same player today as when he arrived. He’s playing like he should have done a while ago. He is a good and young player. Just talk to him. I know he was capable of doing much more. With two or three comments on the pitch, in two or three movements, I showed him things, especially in the last third of the field. He has to make decisions himself whether to pass or shoot. He should raise his head and look forward. That’s what he does now and we see the real Vinicius“, Thus congratulated “KB9”.
