The news that reported the alleged bad relationship between the Portuguese coach Nuno Espírito Santo and the French international Karim Benzema in the heart of the Al Ittihad locker room, which surfaced hours before the team entered the field at Al-Riyadh’s ground, for the third round of the Saudi league, a match in which the title champion thrashed with plate 4, led to a thorough explanation by the Portuguese coach in the conference that followed the match.
Even before answering any questions, Nuno Espírito Santo made a point of addressing this news without further delay, and to take a position of strength, ending up assuring that these were “bullshit”.
«Sorry, but before starting the questions about the analysis of the game… I read in the press that my relationship with Karim [Benzema] it wasn’t good, anyone who knows me knows that, of course, this is bullshit! My relationship with all the players is good, we have a strong group, we are happy with all the players, we are happy that Karim is here with us. He’s happy on the pitch, you can see that, he’s enjoying playing for Al Ittihad. I understand where this comes from… but we are a strong group, a very, very, strong group», shot the Portuguese coach before the conference, putting points on the iis in relation to that matter.
