Benzema “perfectly calm” – Pellegrini

(GSM) – Real Madrid manager Pellegrini says striker Karim Benzema is “perfectly calm” after being accused of taking advantage of an underage prostitute.

However, Pellegrini believes the 22-year-old French striker is staying calm and will not let the allegations affect his football performances.

“I’m always concerned about problems which could affect my players,” said Pellegrini.

“I have spoken to Benzema, he told me he has nothing to do with all this.

“I find him perfectly calm. All this should not affect him on the pitch.”
