Rafa : believes Liverpool can
still snatch the title
RAFA Benitez has insisted his team are still in
the title race - and has ordered his team to continue their march
up the Barclays Premier League.
Benitez’s men are eight points behind the pace but
still have Manchester United and Arsenal to play before the end of
the campaign. And he believes Liverpool can still snatch the
title...and long as they don't talk about in the dressing
room.
He said: "How near we finish to the top now will be interesting,”
the Reds boss said. “We have been criticised this season, but let
us see where we are in three or four weeks. “We have important
games and if we win them we will be a lot closer. If we can beat
Manchester United we will be closer to the top, and that will give
us more confidence."
Speaking to liverpoolfc.tv, he added: "If we beat Everton after
that then we will be closer still. Maybe, maybe we can be closer if
we do not talk too much about it.
“Do we have a point to prove? Maybe, but only if we can keep
winning three points.” Midfielder Xabi Alonso is also confident,
particularly with striker Fernando Torres in good form. “Fernando
has improved,” Alonso said. “He has got rid of the pressure he had
at Atletico Madrid.
“He is feeling really comfortable playing with his team-mates at
Liverpool and because of this he is getting better and better each
day, which is good news for the team. “He has settled into the
Premier League very quickly and that is encouraging because it can
be difficult coming into a new league.
