The Sunday papers clearly felt that a story about Rafa and the owners falling out was long overdue after a hiatus of a few weeks at least so that bastion of bullshit the News of the World ran the headline “It’s your fault - Benitez in new blast at owners" in an attempt to undermine the boss ahead of a crucial trip to Stamford Bridge.
Rafa's response? He branded the journalist who wrote the story, Rob Beasley a liar and rightfully so. Beasley took innocuous quotes from an interview the boss to gave to Spanish national El Mundo prior to the Chelsea game and woefully misconstrued them to present an attack on the owners.
The El Mundo interview is pretty clear and pretty uncontroversial but Beasley has an agenda, that much is clear from this excellent piece that appeared on the Anfield Road website which outlines some of Chelsea fan Beasley's previous views of Benitez on Sky Sports' Sunday Supplement, an excellent programme often ruined by the appearance of journalists from either the News of the World or The S*n.
And Benitez made sure those watching Sky Sports prior to the Chelsea game yesterday knew what he and the rest of Liverpool thought of The S*n and it's Sunday sidekick, saying: “It’s no surprise. Everybody in Liverpool knows there that are two newspapers you that cannot trust, this is one of them.
Of Beasley he adds: "He talks of it being an exclusive; but the journalist is lying. I was talking with the Spanish press - he was manipulating everything. So he’s lying.”
He sure is. Well said Rafa.
