Karim Benzema is not sure he is playing his best right now. Real Madrid's number 9 believes he will have more to offer in the upcoming years, since he is wiser and will be more prepared to rise above the criticism.
"I think I'm doing fine right now. I'm winning titles and with hard work, I think I'll manage to win a lot more in the next few years. I'm 26 years old and I've been told you will play your best when you get to this age, so I will try to live up to that. I believe the best is yet to come for me," the French striker stated.
Benzema revealed that his critics encouraged him to get better on the pitch, and thanked Carlo Ancelotti for trusting his skills when he was under constant pressure by Real Madrid fans.
"Carlo always trusted me, so did the President, and know I now that their pressure was only because fans expected the best from me. I hope that those times don't come back, and that's why I work harder every day, to please Santiago Bernabeu's crowd and fans that also expect the best from my at Stade de France," Benzema added.
Karim spoke about Real Madrid's current streak, and revealed the secret to their recent results.
"We feel like a family, we are helping each other reach their best level. This year has been great so far, and you can't have that if you don't have great players beside you. Anyone can make the difference, and that's what can give us more chances in every tournament we play," the Frenchman added.
