The story behind Karim Benzema’s bandage

Professional soccer players, in many instances, have rituals before each game. From small ones like entering with the right foot, crossing oneself or always wearing the same clothes to some more pretentious and demanding in their production.

The recovery took a few weeks without football and the French did not want to be low.

“First I had surgery, but when you have surgery you have to be off work for two months. And I wanted to continue with my teammates. I hurt myself again, but now I don’t have time to stop and go through another operation. So I played the bandageKarim commented a few months ago. In addition to destroying it, he leaves everything for Madrid.
