commenting that his current goalkeeper Spanish International PEPE
REINA is the Best Goalkeeper in the Premier League & in Spain. The
reasons are his strong competitive mental attitude, his team role, his
aerial work, security & the physical style of game which is perfectly suited
to English Football.
Reina is the Spanish National Teams second choice goalkeeper behind
Real Madrid Goalkeeper IKER CASILLAS who has been voted the 4th
Best Football player in the World for 2008.
These comments are arguable but come in a logical moment & from a
logical source. It´s part of Manager Benitez strategy & work to build up
confidence in his players & to show that he is the person that steers
the ship with leadership & true belief in his team. Rafael Benitez did the
same thing a couple of days ago announcing full support for team Captain
Steven Gerrard after being charged with assault in a nightclub incident.
The “You´ll Never Walk Alone” slogan at Anfield is deeply embedded in
the Clubs culture & that should – will – give wings to the Liverpool
Football team players to meet the upcoming vital clashes in the Premier,
FA Cup & Champions with a strong “family”/ Team mentality that will
help enormously with the difficult task ahead.
Smart move & words from Benitez, who is creating “school” at Liverpool
& in English Football. The reader should not interprete this as a Reina
vs Casillas statement, its more intelligent than all that.
