KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Rafa interview on BBC

Well found that man.
I'll have to wait until tomorrow to listen to the interview, but looking forward to it.

yea well worth it growls

the man really frustrated me from time to time, especially during his final year with us but interesting to hear what he's got to say about all the stuff that went on. one thing is clear, he loves liverpool fc.

He loves Liverpool just as Houllier does. Both good people, I just wish someday Rafa can admit his mistakes just as Houllier has done by his signing of Diouf and others. Rafa in this video wouldn't admit that selling Alonso was a mistake. The man just cant accept he's ever been wrong, far too stubborn.

As I've already said, if Rafa ever comes back I'd like to see him as director of our youth academy, but maybe he's too proud to accept any position other than manager.

really enjoyed watching this thanks swede

Rafarendum, you talk far too much sense (on a number of subjects not just this). I personally think you should be branded with a hot iron & banned for life. We don't want your kind here.

Comment #37 is class.

not a dig at u swede or other posters here.but loving the club is not all we want.do we?..i love the club too...can i don the red shirt n play at anfield??

if KD wants him as assistant or something,.fair enough....agree with the accademy director suggestion as well...but not fulltime manager..enough with that

Was it the same interview as on football focus ?

There we go,i have lots of links if you would like anymore;
RAFA BENITEZ today admitted he has made mistakes this season – but has promised to atone by leading Liverpool into the Europa League semi-finals.

The Reds’ boss has been under scrutiny prior to tonight’s clash with Benfica, mainly due to his decision to substitute Fernando Torres at Birmingham City on Sunday.

Benitez maintains that was still the right decision – Torres was struggling with exhaustion and a knee problem – but has accepted he has erred in other areas, such as tactics and squad investment.

However, he is anxious not to dwell on the negatives and is determined to concoct a winning formula tonight, as the Reds aim to overhaul a first leg 2-1 deficit and blow Benfica away at Anfield.

“If a big club like Liverpool depends on one substitution, then I think something is wrong – we have to concentrate on the game,” said Benitez.

“Everybody can mistakes but the big picture remains the same. The future of the club is more than just one substitution.

“I have made mistakes, like everyone. Big mistakes? Sometimes. I think every manager is always making mistakes. The difference is being able to manage as a club.

“I will not say which team but they signed four wingers for £10m, £15m, £20m and they have had a player who has not played for them all season.

“We signed one player, for example, that has had problems during the season and we cannot manage, so it seems we are short. That means we have to do something.”

The key, however, to ‘doing something’ lies in investment; Torres said in an interview yesterday that Liverpool paid the price for failing to make key signings last summer and Benitez agrees
