General comments
Talent, certainly, but he is going through difficult moments in Réal and in French team.
Performance
Regularity
Rather regular, currently going through a period more than complicated.
Form
He often started on the bench at Real Madrid. His performances in club are lower than during the previous season. No goal for more than 1,000 minutes in national team.
Offensive skills
Finish
Shaped, Benzema is a great finisher. But his lack of trust makes him doubt in front of goal.

Dribble
Still a very good dribbler able to eliminate his opponents to get into good shot position.
Call for the ball
Smart player in his movements, always available and he multiplies good asks for the ball.
Pass
Skillful in this area for a center forward, he plays fast if needed, creates mismatches and was the author of 17 assists during the 2011-2012 season.

Adaptability
Qualities and the register in which he played last year show that it can easily be deported on the wing or attacking support.

Experience
He is not yet considered as a fully experienced player but his numerous games in the Champions League and different tenure for France only increase his experience.
Aggressiveness
He still lacks aggressiveness. Last year early in the season Mourinho motivated him by comparing him to a cat while a good striker should be a dog.
