Roma Manager Jose Mourinho reacted to the award Benzema stating that he contributed to the career of the French man.
He also remembered when he trained the French star: ” When I was his coach, he was a very talented footballer, in search of his identity as a player of the highest level, with the right ambitions and the right physical condition.
“I wanted him to grow as much as possible ,as fast as possible and I was hard on him, I corrected him in every little detail, the slightest extra kilo and the slightest minute of delay in training. I don’t know if I influenced his development, only he knows, but his very strong character allowed him to progress “.
