“He walks like this”..Scenes from the Al-Ittihad presentation ceremony for his star, Karim Benzema (video and photos)

Al-Ittihad Club held a huge reception for its new player, French star Karim Benzema, on Thursday evening, at Al-Jawhara Stadium, in the presence of a large audience.

Benzema said during his speech at the presentation conference: “I signed with Al-Ittihad because it is a club that has great value and has always been making progress and developing in ambition. The Saudi people are generous, and I attended and played here earlier. I won many championships in Europe and I came here to bring more titles and raise the club.” .

And the newcomer to the ranks of Al-Ittihad continued: “The Saudi people are generous, and I attended and played here earlier. I won many championships in Europe, and I came here to bring more titles and raise the club.”

The French international player concluded his statements by saying: “My family is happy with my decision to come to the Kingdom, and I have previously come to perform Umrah, and I chose to represent Al-Ittihad Club for its great value, and I am very excited to see the large Al-Ittihad fans.”

After that, the ceremony began at the Radioactive Jewel Stadium, which witnessed the presence of the famous ligament of Frenchman Karim Benzema, and voices rose inside the stadium when Karim Benzema entered the field.

Karim Benzema carried the golden ball that he achieved last season on the field, after presenting an outstanding performance with Real Madrid, amid great interaction, cheers and applause from the fans who attended the ceremony.

The French star, who won 5 European Champions Leagues, surprised the Al-Ittihad fans by saying: “He walks like this,” which is a colloquial phrase used by Al-Ittihad fans when achieving championships, and they responded to him with shouts of admiration and applause, and Benzema turned to the fans and threw a number of balls at them inside the stadium.

The 35-year-old French star, Real Madrid captain who won 25 titles with the Spanish team, joined the federation last Tuesday with a huge contract until 2026 after leaving Real by mutual consent.

Benzema will wear the number nine shirt, to snatch it from Moroccan striker Abdel Razzaq Hamdallah, the top scorer in the Saudi League this season.
