In Lyon you obviously change today, and in the last three or four years I have simply played the football I wanted and knew how to play, everyone wants to score goals but not only that, maybe I will try to stay close to the boys and coach them I will never move away from football.

Benzema continued, and in order for them to think beyond goals to really be the best, I think today we don’t train young players well in new football if you ask today’s young players who just want to score goals.
