After 12 rounds in La Liga, the B-B-C attacking trio have only scored 4 goals for Real Madrid. Meanwhile, the midfield and defenders have done this 18 times.
After Gareth Bale continued to return to injury and "sitting and playing water" for a few more months, taking into account the achievements of Ronaldo and Benzema alone, this duo only had 2 goals after 12 rounds, each 1 goal. This achievement puts the team 97/98 in the top 5 European National Championship (UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain).
What problems are Ronaldo and Benzema facing?
At the beginning of the season, CR7 was suspended for 5 matches. For an aging striker like Ronaldo, it is almost impossible for him to return from a heavy penalty and play well immediately.
In addition, the constant arguments with Ramos in the press have caused Ronaldo to push himself into gradually cutting off from the " Spanish group" led by Ramos. Remember, it is the " Spanish group" that is right behind CR7 in Real's squad, and if this connection was cut off, Ronaldo could not have been given favorable conditions on the field.
What about Benzema? The nickname "Meo Loi" has spoken too much about the striker's playing style. If back about 3-4 years ago, Benzema had difficulty moving during each attack, now that he is in his 30s, that is no longer common.
Benzema said Ronaldo's selfishness may be true, but unfortunately, instead, it was him who was pairing him up in attack. The mental connection is gone, it is easy to understand why both Ronaldo and Benzema are on a decline.
When will Bale return?
Real fans have wondered this question dozens of times since the Welsh striker moved to the Bernabeu. When he had just returned and scored 2 goals, Bale said goodbye to the pitch and did not know how long he would return.
No one knows if Real are waiting for Bale or not, but what everyone can see is that the patience of owner Perez is limited. The Bernabeu "father" has never "reported" to anyone and has not ruled out pushing Bale away as soon as possible.
The story of B-B-C is like that, they have 4 goals in La Liga, equal to the number of goals scored by midfielder Paulinho, Barcelona. It is ironic that Madridsta "squeezed and criticized" Paulinho when he joined Barca, so that now their favorite team is 10 points behind their opponents.
In other tournaments, any scenario can happen, but in La Liga, Real is 10 points behind Barca, so all hope is gone.
