Two matches without scoring as if to prove that Real Madrid need additional new players in the front sector. But the goalkeeper, Thibaut Courtous, felt that Karim Benzema was enough to overcome the problem.
Real Madrid were only able to draw 0-0 when they met Athletic Bilbao in La Liga on Sunday (12/22/2019) yesterday. In fact, the match was held at the Santiago Bernabeu which is actually their own headquarters.
In the previous match, precisely when facing Barcelona, Real Madrid also reaped similar results. Then, in the previous match again against Valencia, Los Merengues was only able to score one goal and reap a 1-1 draw.
Overall, the squad made by Zinedine Zidane has pocketed 33 goals from 18 matches that have been passed in La Liga. Lose far from its rivals, Barcelona, who have scored 47 goals.

Benzema is enough
This amount, it can be said, is far below public expectations. Especially after Real Madrid spent a lot of money to bring Eden Hazard and Luka Jovic who productive with their previous clubs.
Therefore, the demand to find a new striker who can produce even more goals in January will be increasingly loud. But Courtois felt that these demands were not necessary.
"I don't have an explanation for why the ball doesn't want to go [into the opponent's goal], but I believe that my team-mates can score at any time," he said, as quoted by Goal International.
"Karim [Benzema] is amazing, he has scored a lot of goals. I don't feel that a purchase is needed. I have fully trusted the team," he continued.

Waiting for Hazard's Action
Hazard's productivity is highly anticipated by the public. But, until now, he never issued a magical like when he was still defending Chelsea.
Injury makes the atmosphere more turbid. As a result, Hazard cannot provide proof or satisfy public desires. Courtois could only pray that his compatriot could recover soon.
"He is one of the best players in the world and he is being missed, even though the others appear neat. He is sad because he cannot help the team," he added.
"He wants to play at Mestalla or Clasico. I hope he can play against Getafe. Time will fix it, you don't have to take risks," he concluded.
