Benzema Withdraws and Al-Dosari Insists.. Jastaniah Ignites Penalty Debate
Wednesday 11-06-2025
Sports media figure Adnan Jastaniah sparked an intriguing discussion regarding Karim Benzema and Salem Al-Dosari's handling of their failures in executing penalties, considering that each of their approaches conveyed different messages about responsibility.

Jastaniah pointed out that Union star Karim Benzema faced clear difficulties in taking penalties, but he preferred to step back from executing them and leave them to his teammates after realizing his decline in performance in this task.

In contrast, Jastaniah noted that Saudi national team captain Salem Al-Dosari did not show the same initiative, as he continued to take penalties despite his known history of repeated misses in competitions.

The well-known media figure did not stop at criticizing Al-Dosari, but also held former coach Hervé Renard partly responsible, believing that a strict technical intervention from him would have prevented the player from continuing to take penalties.

Jastaniah concluded his remarks with a clear suggestion, stating that if it becomes evident that Al-Dosari ignored technical directives, then stripping him of the captaincy in the next upcoming tournament should be the appropriate step, along with an apology to the fans.
