“Of course, all the time, since I was a child, but that’s not something that drives me crazy,” Benzema said as reported. Daily Mail.
“You always think about the Ballon d’Or when you are a professional and competitive footballer.”
“I have never tried to define myself by playing position, as a player number nine or not, as a player number 10 or 11. I am a soccer player and I try to be the best player in the world,” he added.
