Benzema spoke of his “comfort” with the decision to move and play in Saudi Arabia, and offered several reasons in statements to the Jeddah club’s official account.
Why Saudi?
I have already visited Saudi Arabia, and I feel wonderful in this country, and above all, it is a Muslim and beloved country, and here I am, for me, this is the place where I want being, where I feel people’s love for me, which gives me the opportunity to have a new experience and I’m excited to be here. I am a Muslim and Saudi Arabia is a Muslim country, I have always wanted to live here. I played for Real Madrid and won many trophies, and I’m proud to have been able to finish my career there like that. What I can add here is my experience in football, and especially the possibility of winning titles, I love winning them, and I have great ambition and I would like to do great things because it is important for me, Saudi Arabia and the club. Mecca is very close, and as a person of faith, it’s important to me, and that’s where I’ll feel the best, and when I talked to my family about signing with Saudi Arabia, they were all very happy, so they’re all going to move with me, and that’s also important. I know Saudi Arabia is the most suitable place for me, and titles are very important, and in any case we will do everything we can, and I would like to win championships for the good of the club and of his fans, even if it’s difficult, with ambition, competitiveness and talent we can win, and I hope we have a good season, and that we continue to progress towards the top where the club must always be at the top.
Why Al-Ittihad Jeddah? I chose Al-Ittihad specifically because it is one of the best clubs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and it has a passionate fan base, in addition to having many securities.
About Cristiano Ronaldo
He is my friend, and it is great to see him here, who represents the direction and progress of Saudi Arabia, and this issue is important internationally, and there are big names playing here, Cristiano Ronaldo on the one hand and today I’m here too, so it’s important to show that this country can have international influence.
His goals in Saudi Arabia?
The question is not limited to playing in Saudi Arabia or not presenting the new performance, on the contrary, I must continue and present what reflects the success I have achieved in Europe, and bring it with me to Saudi Arabia , and in any case I am here to contribute to the advancement of Saudi football.
