Real Madrid player and 2022 Ballon D’or winner Karim Benzema recently said in a Q&A session that he would never become a pundit after retirement from football. The French player has also cited the reason behind this decision saying that the pundits don’t know how to control their tongue and they can go up to any level in disrespecting the players.
He also has given us some hints about what he would really like to do after retiring from the sport stating his interest in fashion and also citing that he loves to dress up and try new trends as well. Karim Benzema is a huge hip-hop fan as well and is friends with several famous rap stars around the globe.
Benzema said, “Becoming a football pundit after retiring? No, never, the way they disrespect players, I could never do that.” He has also given the fans some idea about whether he would even try his role out as a coach and he grew a lot of hopes with his answer and also said that he would always be linked with football somehow or the other.
Are the modern-day pundits getting on the nerves of the footballers?
Nowadays pundits who are providing match analysis and giving their views on the performances of the players have a really sharp tongue and are taking it too far in terms of their comments. A few days ago, Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville were seen bashing and criticizing Cristiano Ronaldo on the player’s actions in recent matches which really irritated the player.
It is the players who actually have to express themselves on the football pitch and they are the ones who actually have to go through the 90 minutes, and for these pundits to be sitting and watching from the screens and to criticize these players is absolutely criminal and wrong. These pundits forget the fact that they were once footballers themselves and speaking ill about other players can hamper their mental health.
