Benzema also discussed his current team and the Saudi Pro League, stating, "When I signed, I had just won the Ballon d'Or that season. It wasn't the end of my career; I wanted to play and continue enjoying playing football. I feel very good at this club."

He praised the fans and his teammates, saying, "The fans are fantastic and the guys want to work hard too. These are things I really appreciate every day."

Benzema also shared his thoughts on the development of football in Saudi Arabia, saying, "Saudi Arabia needs players like Cristiano or like me, or like others who came here to give them something of what we have in Europe."

He added, "We need to teach the kids here what they need to go to other clubs. It's a country that's opening up. People are polite in their daily interactions. It's a great place for me."
