Zidane asks Real Madrid supporters not to whistle at Benzema

09:11   24 January, 2018
Real Madrid Manager Zinedine Zidane has expressed support to France forward Karim Benzema, ahead of their Spanish Copa del Rey quarterfinal return leg against Leganes.
Real fans had whistled Benzema during the football club’s most recent Spanish La Liga match against Deportivo La Coruña.
“He [Benzema] wanted to get back quickly and he’s back with the squad now. The only thing he enjoys really is being out with us on the pitch, so it’s good to have him back,” GOAL quoted Zidane as saying. “But it’s not good to see him getting whistled when he gets back. This has happened with him and could happen with others.
“What we need from the fans is that they’re with us. Of course, they’re within their rights; they’ve paid so can have opinions, but I want fans to be with us for 90 minutes.
“Karim will be available tomorrow [for the return leg].”
Real Madrid defeated Leganes 1-0 in the first leg.
The return leg will be played at Madrid, and the kickoff is slated for Thursday 12:30am Armenia time.
