He would not reveal what Dean had said to him during their confrontation following the defeat.

"When your heart rate is so high you need to be careful how you take words. All that happened on the pitch, I'll never translate off it."

Speaking to James Pearce on the Liverpool ECHO Blood Red podcast, Benitez said: "I want to be very respectful to my team, but this team is much better. "Not just the team, but the squad. In my

When you are determined to win, then you might definitely not want to just stick with your chosen team or perhaps player. When you are putting your funds at risk, you could want to see the whole scenario objectively and start out exploring on the clubs and coatings as effectively as their past documents, their previous matches and the condition.
