In an interview with L’Equipe, Inter’s new striker Ishak Belfodil talked about the constant comparisons between him and Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, who like him previously played for Lyon and has French-Algerian background, “It’s a nice compliment, but it’s not the first time I hear it. This means that there is something special in my game they like. But I don’t want to think about it too much, furthermore we have the same origin and football-related past, so it’s natural that when you pull two or three stunts the comparisons start. I’m not saying that I’m used to it, though…”
Belfodil also had a few words addressed to the club that launched him and then abandoned him: “I took a risk when I went to Bologna, but I wanted to grow. Moreover, everyone in Lyon said that they were counting on me, but in practice, I received very little confidence. Finally I got no playing time. But I hold no grudges against anyone.”
