There is no truce between Marcelo Gallardo and Karim Benzema. Hours before Al Ittihad resumes its participation in the Saudi Arabian league against Al Tae, there was a new short circuit between the former River coach and the French striker, who has been in conflict with the club for several weeks.
In the first instance, Benzema sought to leave Al Ittihad during the month of January. He missed eight consecutive training sessions, according to him because he was stranded on an island. The Arab leadership believes that it was a method of pressure to force his departure.something that ultimately did not happen, and that is why a few days ago he rejoined the squad.
Gallardo dropped him from the preseason they did in the United Arab Emirates and the Frenchman was left alone in Arabia training. Upon returning from the trip, Benzema joined the practices, although only partially. El Muñeco does not admit privileges, just like during his time at River, and he has his eye on the attitude taken by the former Real Madrid.
Gallardo and Benzema do not get along and there is conflict on the horizon.
New discussion between Benzema and Gallardo and broken relationship
As reported by Marca, this Monday, in the last formal rehearsal before facing Al Tae, Benzema carried out part of the training together with his teammates and Then Gallardo asked him to train separately during the last stretch of practice. Apparently, the forward refused, got angry and decided to abandon practice unexpectedly.
Benzema trained in the gym with the injured players.
He was not going to be called up for today’s game and much less will he be after what happened in the last few hours. The relationship between the two seems to have no returnat least not until Benzema apologizes to Gallardo and his coaching staff for the prolonged absence in the first days of January.
With most markets closed, Benzema and Gallardo will have to reach an understanding or the French star will not be considered again until the season ends mid-year. There is a lot of tension between the board and the forward and with the Doll in the middle, this novel promises to add new chapters.
