Of Jese Rodriguez - who has vowed to bide his time after reportedly becoming frustrated at a lack of game time at the Bernabeu - Benitez added: "There are players that are one step in front, and others that have done it better. "With Toni Kroos I must have had like 20 individual conversations. "To manage a special group with such a high level is not easy, but I maintain individual conversations with them," he said. I have never thought about favoring anyone apart from the team."īenitez says that key to working at a club such as Madrid - with a Galacticos policy of making regular star signings - is the ability to converse regularly with his players. One day, when a thirteen year old was chewing on some bread that came out as a snack, Dahlia Pesteros suddenly remembered her past life. I am not obsessed with Cristiano scoring five goals or Navas not conceding. The Strongest Characters in the World are Obsessed With Me. As of today he is pretty good physically. From there, we assess who is well and who is not. "There is one indisputable player, which is Cristiano. He makes the difference," he said at a pregame news conference on Tuesday.
"The players know that Cristiano scores 50 goals a season. Keylor Navas has impressed at the other end of the pitch having kept five clean sheets in all competitions to break Miguel Angel's club record from the 1975-76 campaign.īut while Benitez acknowledges the importance of individual such as Ronaldo - who hit a career-best 61 goals last season - and Navas in his squad, the former Liverpool, Chelsea and Napoli coach is focusing on results ahead of Madrid's trip to Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday.

And now I’ve regurgitated all of the feelings that word reacquaints me with.
What if I just don’t have this obsession thing in me anymore? It’s all too much for me to handle. I have obsessed over my Instagram, I became bored. I have obsessed over a boy too many, I broke us. I have obsessed over my body, it made me wish to not have a body anymore. I have obsessed over my face, it crumbled before my eyes. My expectations see-saw, like my feelings, they’re ever-changing. I’m tired of trying to keep a hold of things that are fleeting. I will break this thing that is apparently so dear to me, if I obsess over it. If something is apparently so dear to me, something I’m obsessed with, I clearly can’t live without it! I’m not willing to risk possibly breaking it. I feel comfortable telling you that obsession is something I have decided, no longer weighs me down. No matter how pretty I look on the outside. As much as I’ve been told that heartache suits me, I would rather not set myself up for a broken heart. Knowing me, I cannot obsess over things that will eventually dissolve.
I can’t hold all of these projections that I’m casting. Not only do they break, they tend to break me. Each possession, each idea, each person or stage of my life that I have obsessed over once upon a time, they tend to break. I’m not happy with the feelings that the word reacquaints me with. What if I feel like that word and me live a million miles apart from each other? I’m not happy with the word. What if I happen to not feel that feeling of obsession, towards anything, anymore? My feelings tell me that the notion of obsession is actually one of many things that I am happy to avoid.
