Marcelo Gallardo Faces Criticism from Karim Benzema’s Brother After Al Ittihad’s Tough Defeat in Saudi Arabian Super Cup Final

Marcelo Gallardo’s Al Ittihad suffered a tough defeat, 4-1 against Al Hilal in the final of the Saudi Arabian Super Cup. El Muñeco put the team’s star among the starters, Karim Benzema, although the Frenchman’s performance is far from what he showed at Real Madrid, and the scoring contribution usually comes from Hamdallah. The Argentine coach located the Frenchman on the left. This generated a lot of anger in one of Karim’s seven brothers, Gressy, who used an Instagram story to tear apart the former River coach.

“Karim, today you played on the left. This is a crime. This makes no sense. Football must be respected,” Gressy argued.

The heat map of the match shows that Karim did indeed play on the left side of the attack. It is not usual for the French.

There were short circuits

The relationship between Gallardo and Benzema was not the best, basically because the Frenchman generated conflicts by showing up late in a preseason and by not following an order from the Argentine. The previous coach of the Arabian Tigers, the Portuguese Nuno Espiritu Santo, left due to differences with Benzema.

Of course, Gallardo cannot retaliate against Benzema for a public attitude from his brother. Although this episode does not contribute to the relationship between the two.

A good one for Gallardo

During the award ceremony for second place, Al Ittihad’s goalkeeper, the Moroccan Bono, went to hug Gallardo. This has an explanation: one is a fan of River and Burrito Ortega. And several times he commented on his passion for the Band.
