Benzema concedes lower profile role at Real Madrid

Karim Benzema admits he is adjusting to a lower-profile role at Real Madrid.

Where he was the main man at Olympique Lyon, Benzema is now having to play second fiddle to superstars like Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo and Raul at Real.

"It's true I am not playing through the middle as much," said Benzema. "I am having to play a lot more on the wings because the teams we play against cloud the centre.

"But it's true I am not seeing as much of the ball as I'm used to."
