Julen Lopetegui has a blind trust in Karim Benzema that some merengue fans blame him.
The indigent and deficient Real Madrid attack has been widely singled out in recent weeks, especially after Russia's last loss in the UEFA Champions League to CSKA Moscow.

A meeting at the end of which Karim Benzema was defeated by the Spanish media reproaching him for his offensive safety in Russia. Julen Lopetegui was quick to defend the French at a press conference: "All the players have our confidence and Benzema too, and to talk about Karim, he started the season very well," he said.
And with ten ten official appearances under the leadership of the former Spanish coach, it is doubtful that Benzema is the darling of the Basque, while several voices rise to put the former Lyon on the bench, in the media as in the merengue community.
Indeed, a poll conducted on the electronic version of the newspaper AS just after the victory in C1 against Roma showed that 77% of the voters praised a tenure of Mariano Diaz for the next match against Espanyol.

Benzema, 30, has not scored in six games at Real, having recorded no shots squared in the five meetings before the Moscow debacle. SOURCE

So we were going to see what we were going to see. Without Cristiano Ronaldo but with Julen Lopetegui on the bench, Real Madrid promised a game more focused on the collective, where everyone could take new responsibilities to forget the departure of the prolific number 7. Unfortunately, the report does not go in the right sense, and he is relentless. Without CR7, Casa Blanca barely face the goal. Here are 3 games that Real does not score, and this is the first time this has happened since 2007! An eternity. The merengue club has just spent 5 hours and 19 minutes without scoring a goal. And inevitably, the attack is pointed at the day after the defeat on the lawn of CSKA Moscow in the Champions League (0-1).

"Another shipwreck of the Madrid of Lopetegui", title Marca with Benzema to illustrate his article. The French striker, who has not scored since his double against Leganes on September 1, is clearly targeted in the Spanish press this Wednesday morning. "Benzema is unable to do a job from which he has always been exonerated," reads in the columns of the newspaper As, in reference to his former role as lieutenant of Cristiano Ronaldo. Mariano's vigorous entry into play, who also did not find the fault, highlighted Benzema's shortcomings. "Against CSKA Moscow, he has done more in 30 minutes than Benzema in 90. His attitude has earned him new supporters against the indolence of Karim," reads on the website of As.
"The statement of Lopetegui, sincere or political, contrasts with the majority opinion of Madrid supporters. In this fort in which the technician begins to retrench, there are fewer people every day, "still in Ace. Even Mundo Deportivo comes to claim the return of the one who misses so much at Real. "Come back Cristiano! We see on the website of the pro-Barça newspaper. Cristiano Ronaldo, suspended against the Young Boys of Bern, was not with Juventus Turin, who, without him, won 3-0 thanks to a triplet of Dybala. Like what, even without CR7, everything is possible! real madrid
