Baghdad-INA
Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois confirmed, today, Thursday, that his colleague Karim Benzema, the team's striker, is worthy of winning the Ballon d'Or this year.
Courtois said in press statements: "I am sure that Benzema will win the award, and if he does not win it, that means there is some mistake in voting."
"Apart from Benzema, no other player has had a great season, and no other player can win it," the Belgian giant added.
Courtois continued to praise his French colleague, "Karim always works hard, the idea of football is not only skills, but the physical factor is very important, to be the best.".
The Real Madrid goalkeeper concluded his statements, "Benzema is decisive in front of the goal. He missed an opportunity in the first half, but when he had another chance, he scored a goal in the second half."
