The Saudi press had pointed out some discomfort between the Portuguese coach and the French striker.
After, in the last few hours, the Saudi press reported a disagreement between Nuno Espírito Santo and Benzema, it was now the Portuguese coach who commented and denied the whole situation.
“I read in the media that my relationship with Benzema is bad. Anyone who knows me well knows that, of course, this is bullshit. I have a good relationship with all my players”, he clarified in a press conference after Al- Ittihad 4-0 against Al Riyadh.
Nuno Espírito Santo continued to defend the group and even spoke about… Jota, who was recently pointed to a possible departure from Saudi Arabia:
“We have a strong group, we are happy with all the players. Happy to have Karim and Karim is happy, you can see that on the pitch. He is enjoying playing for Ittihad. I understand where this is coming from, but we are a group very strong. All my players are important to me, even those on the bench, including Jota”, he added.
