Benzema: I did everything I could to strengthen the Al-Ittihad team

French Karim Benzema, Al-Ittihad striker, indicated that he is looking forward to achieving titles with his team in the new season, after going through a first season without achievements.

Benzema said in his statements to “Canal Plus” channel, that he does not want to remember his first season with Al-Ittihad, which ended without collective success, as he finished fifth in the Rochen League and did not win any title.

The Frenchman, who won the Ballon d'Or in 2022, added that he had experienced this pressure since he was 8 years old, which then turned into ambition.

He continued: “This season is not stressful. It is ambitious for me. I do not like to talk about last year. There were some problems and we did not focus on football. The most important thing is Looking forward.”

He continued: “This is a new era for us. I have done everything in my power to strengthen the Al-Ittihad team. We are in the best possible condition.”
