Karim Benzema, the French striker, has been struggling with form and performance since joining Al Ittihad from Real Madrid in January 2019. The move to Qatar was seen as a chance for Benzema to regain his best form after a difficult season with Real Madrid. However, it seems that Benzema is not yet fully recovered from his injury and is still finding it hard to get back into top form.
Benzema has struggled to find his old goalscoring touch since joining Al Ittihad, scoring just four goals in 15 appearances in all competitions so far this season. This is far below his usual output of around 40 goals per season for Real Madrid. The Algerian coach, Patrice Guérin, has tried various tactics to try and get Benzema firing again, but without success.
The French striker has also faced criticism from fans and media alike for his lack of intensity and passion on the pitch. Some have even suggested that he may be struggling to cope with the pressure of playing for a team in a different league and culture.
Despite these challenges, Benzema remains one of the most talented strikers in world football and there is no doubt that he will continue to score goals for Al Ittihad. However, it remains to be seen whether he can return to his best form soon.
