Liga: Ancelotti, Benzema is a fantastic player

"Karim Benzema is a fantastic player, a fundamental part of this team. I don't find out now. But I find that he has more personality, he is more mature. He is a complete player. It is a pleasure to coach him, to see him play." These are the words of the Real Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, in the press conference on the eve of the Liga match with the Levante, commenting on the extension of the contract to 2023 signed by the French forward. "The mental aspect is very important in today's football, the ability 'to have enough personality' to be able to play in a team like Real. In my day, 20 years ago, if you were technically good, you played. Today, if not you are mentally strong, you can't show all your qualities ", Ancelotti emphasized, always talking about the attacker,who scored twice against Alaves on the first day. The Madrid media insist on the club's attempts to snatch Kylian Mbappe from PSG, but the coach did not speak out on the matter, stating that "this team, as it is, can play on all fronts, it's full of stars. But all alone, the stars remain stars. If they work together, they win titles. "
