Karim Benzema has reiterated his desire to succeed at Real Madrid and win a lot of trophies next season. How many times is he going to repeat himself. Benzema had a pretty good season last season as well on a personal level as he was able to score 25 goals for the season which is a fantastic return in such a tough league.
Anyway, good luck to Benzema on forming a dynasty at Real Madrid, which not many players have done. Not even Ronaldo can say that about him right now, I think he needs a season or two to achieve that level. Raul was able to do it, but he took like a decade and a half.
There are players who cannot form a dynasty at Real Madrid, in fact, they cannot even play for Real Madrid let alone come to Real Madrid and play in the first team and I want to talk about three of these type of players today.
First one is Arshavin, who has recently said that he would not play for Real Madrid as he is a Barcelona fan. He says there is only one club he would never play for and that is Real Madrid. Well guess what Arshavin. You are not playing for Real Madrid and you are not playing for Barcelona either. You are just not cut for that.
Arshavin’s limit ends with Arsenal. He will probably spend another 3 seasons with Arsenal and win nothing. Not even an individual title and then he’ll go back to his homeland and play for Zenith. Time will pass and he will enjoy his home life while on the outside, no one will remember his name outside of his family. That is his level. Real Madrid do not sign players with that kind of mentality and it just speaks for itself why Arshavin has and probably never will play for an elite club like Real Madrid or Barcelona.
When will Arshavin learn his lesson. He lost of Barcelona a couple of times in the Champions League and that is probably the reason he respects them so much, not that Barcelona do not deserve that. He will come to respect Real Madrid as well he gets beaten by us too. Till then rot at Arsenal and satisfy yourself with 3rd place finishes.
Second of these players is Inter Milan’s Zanetti. He also says that he had contacts with Real Madrid and Barcelona but did not join them as he wanted to stay at Inter Milan and win things here which he did unlike Arshavin. At least Zanetti was being respectful about it. Who cares he did not get to play for Barcelona or Real Madrid as long as he won league titles and Champions League titles with Inter Milan.
Zanetti is one player (along with Totti) who I had dreamed of seeing Zanetti play for Real Madrid. Unfortunately, he was and probably is too loyal to Inter Milan. He is old now and will never play for Real Madrid, too bad. Anyway, he is another player who could not make the cut and play for Real Madrid.
The third player is Diarra. Even though he played for Real Madrid, he could not find himself a starting spot for more than 6 months and will probably never play for Real Madrid again. He will definitely be moving away from Real Madrid this summer with Tottenham leading the race to sign former Chelsea player.
It is going to be difficult to find a club for Lassana Diarra as he was some genetic blood problems which does not allow him to play at high altitudes. So Real Madrid will not be able to get 20 million for Lass as originally they had hoped for. Diarra’s wages are also a big stumbling block, Tottenham’s wages structure do not allow for a player to have that high of a salary.
Diarra has played in the premier league before which makes him a bit more attractive then he would have been had he not played for clubs like Chelsea, Arsenal and Portsmouth.
