Sorry Rafa

Oct 30 2006

By Chris Bascombe, Liverpool Echo

 

Rafael Benitez

RAFA BENITEZ has received an apology from his board following the anonymous attack on his management.

However, it has emerged the culprit has still not identified himself to the manager, nor shown any remorse for the comments which caused such embarrassment.

Benitez today thanked the Anfield hierarchy and supporters for their backing during Saturday's rampant 3-1 win over Aston Villa.

A section of The Kop sang Benitez's name throughout the game.

"People asked me if I was thinking about my future, but when I decided to come here and renew my contract when other clubs were asking about me, it was the same situation as now," said Benitez today.

"My determination remains to win lots of trophies here and build a strong team for the future.

"When you hear people talk about the value of my squad, it's triple what it was when we arrived.

"It's clear we have a better team and I'm really happy here. When you hear the support on Saturday, it means I'm in the right place.

"I didn't speak to the chairman on Saturday, but I know he is supporting me and I say to the chairman, Rick Parry and the board thank you because it's good to hear things like this.

"I know they were really worried about what happened, but I know I have their support. They are happy with the way we are working.

"It was one of our best performances of the season, but in this case it was satisfying because people have been talking and talking.

"If you play well, score goals and see that kind of commitment you must be happy.

"We already had a good record at home, which people have forgotten because of our form away."
