It really baffles me that people make out benitez is whiter than white and all the clubs woes are down to H&G and hodgson , benitez was very much part of the clubs problems and yes hodgson cannot seem to rectifiy the slide but there no doubt this is a massive hangover of benitez and his ineptness and stubborness still in effect
oh is this quotes from record signing flop dossena ?
This is what Dossena said of Benitez after he left,and then you wonder why some of us are unhappy that we replaced him with hodgson!!
Former Liverpool defender Andrea Dossena has explained what Juventus can expect if they sign Spanish coach Rafael Benitez in the summer.
It's been widely reported that Benitez is the number one target at Vinovo to replace Alberto Zaccheroni at the end of the season. And Dossena, who played for Benitez between July 2008 and January 2010, has given an insight into his methods of coaching and style.
"Benitez loves dialogue and he works hard on tactics. In the car park, on the plane, Benitez never wastes a moment. He uses every second to give an indication and explain positions on the pitch," he told Tuttosport.
"He is always clear and gets straight to the point in the dressing room, but balanced too. He always uses a calm approach, and there was never an episode where he raised his voice."
However, there was one occasion when Benitez blew his top.
"It happened once, but I was not there. My former team-mates told me that Benitez went berserk in Florence after Liverpool lost in the Champions League [against Fiorentina]."
And, Benitez uses several ways to get his message accross to the players.
"He uses the blackboard and plenty of videos. He is a maniac when it comes to analysing the play. He always dedicates plenty on free-kicks and corners. In England it's always good to take advantage of situations where the ball is inactive," he concluded.
