The eyes were directed this Thursday in Valdebebas to the two main protagonists of Wednesday, Karim Benzema (32 years) and Vinicius (20). Both have seen each other again, with a happy ending, after the sounded 'hunted' in Telefoot of the third captain, who criticized the young attacker in a chat with Mendy in the Borussia Park changing room tunnel. “He does what he wants. Don't play with him, brother. Play against us,” said the former Lyon team at halftime, with 1-0 on the scoreboard, referring to the bad first half of '20', which He passed no ball until his substitution, in the 70th minute. Then the whites would end up equaling the 2-0 previously achieved by Marco Rose's.
But the sequence, in French, was the talk of Wednesday in Real Madrid code, with the players enjoying their day off. There was not the same contact between those involved in the scene, who enjoyed the rest with their loved ones, taking advantage of the time with them that usually takes away the demands of the competition. In Vinicius and his surroundings, the phrases of Benzema, the idol of the Carioca, fell to great surprise and disappointment. However, like the people close to Karim, they took refuge in the fact that they are more natural things in football than people may think from the outside.
Total normality
And this has been confirmed today at Real Madrid City. The team had a session at 11:00 a.m. to prepare for Saturday's game against Huesca (2:00 p.m., Movistar LaLiga) at Di Stéfano and Benzema and Vinicius shared spaces in it with total normality. The first decided to look for the second to speak with him and give him his explanation of what happened, leaving the matter settled after a short talk. Teacher and student, the roles on which, apart from their personal connection, their professional relationship is based, will continue to be as closely linked as to date.
