Real Madrid directors rally round Benzema with confidence boosting praise

Real Madrid directors are rallying around striker Karim Benzema.

Management have decided to attempt to lift Benzema with some obvious confidence boosting praise.

After his performance in the win over Hercules, Real director Eduardo Fernández de Blas approached Benzema at the Alicante airport and declared: "Congratulations Karim for the game, it has been very good, keep it up, this is the right way."

Fellow director Manuel Cerezo also congratulated Benzema in the terminal.

And before they left the stadium, Rico Perez hugged the Frenchman encouraging him to keep playing as he did against Hercules.
