Karim Djaziri: Benzema doesn't deserve this, the whistles are disrespectful LaLiga - Real Madrid Forward's agent defends his client

Karim Benzema's loyalty to Real Madrid can't be questioned and he is clear that he wants to retire with Los Blancos, however, his agent has made clear that the French forward doesn't deserve the treatment he receives from some sections of the club's support, branding the whistles heard in the win over Deportivo la Coruna as disrespectful.

Despite having struggled with fitness issues for a significant part of the season, Benzema has found himself as the scapegoat amongst supporters for many of the team's struggles.

In an exclusive interview with MARCA, Karim Djaziri moved to defend his client and suggested that the player had been hurt by the whistles from the crowd before he'd even entered the pitch.

How long have you known Benzema?

"Since age 15, when he started as a professional."

How was he after Sunday's match?

"These are difficult times, but since he was young he showed that he is very strong mentally, as well as throughout his time in Madrid. He has been at his dream club for nine years.

"It's unfair that he was whistled when Real Madrid were winning and he was returning from a month-long injury. Karim has always shown exemplary commitment to the club and has put the team before himself, so he doesn't deserve this treatment."

Has he been affected?

"How could he not be? He doesn't understand it and it's a lack of respect for a player who is the club's seventh highest scorer of all-time.

"He has participated in some of the brightest eras the biggest club in the world has enjoyed. You can whistle anyone, but never a player who hasn't even been on the pitch, it's incomprehensible."

Do you think that perhaps the Bernabeu expected another change and this ignited the reaction?

"I don't know, but I insist that Madrid were winning and Karim hadn't even been on the pitch. He can understand if they whistle him when he has made a mistake, but this is difficult to accept for a footballer who has been here for nine years and given everything."

Has Karim thought about leaving if this doesn't change?

"No, because Benzema feels that the real fans of the club are with him, and he wants to show that he deserves everyone's support."

Cristiano Ronaldo was applauded when he missed two clear chances, Bale gets the support of everyone despite his injuries, why do you think things with Karim are different?

"I don't know because he feels the support of many Real Madrid fans, the club and his teammates. He has always felt the love of Madrid but this latest incident is simply difficult to understand."
