Real Madrid’s legendary striker Hugo Sanchez has stated that he is unsure whether Karim Benzema has realised the importance of playing for the capital club.The Mexican goal-getter was speaking in an interview with Spanish publication Marca, discussing the situation at Madrid, as well as what he believes the club can achieve this season under coach Jose Mourinho.
Sanchez singled out the displays of Benzema since his move from Lyon last summer, and the former Almeria coach believes that the 22-year-old has not proven himself at the club so far.
"Benzema does not know what his role is at Real Madrid. I notice that he is very confused, because he still does not know what is expected at this club. [Gonzalo] Higuain is the better option to play in white," Sanchez remarked.
Sanchez, who is the second highest goalscorer in the history of the Primera Division after spending twelve years in the league with both Madrid clubs, also passed comment on Mourinho’s chances of collecting trophies this season, as well as Cristiano Ronaldo's importance to the team.
"With Mourinho in charge, Real Madrid can win the league. What I like about the Portuguese coach is his honesty.
"In terms of Cristiano Ronaldo, people expect a lot from him and he is accountable for his performances every week."
