I don't talk about referees. I never do, usually, and I want to carry on like that.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
The difference between the Premier League and the other leagues is the intensity of the games.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
For me, it is a great challenge to be at the most important club in the world, and I will try to win everything that I can win.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
I have said many times that I am convinced that Benzema is a great striker, and I think he has demonstrated that.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
Sometimes you have to manage, and you have to sell two or three players who aren't playing many games.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
You cannot bring in two or three top-class players if you don't have the money. You have to sell.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
If you are a referee, it's not easy because everyone wants to win, and so there will be cheating.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
Does the manager have absolute power in England? No, it depends on a budget and on the executive director that negotiates the signings of players.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
There is no Benitez 'method.' We try to be more solid in defense without losing the quality in attack.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
I knew off by heart the names of the Real Madrid team that played Liverpool in the European Cup final of 1981.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
When you make a mistake, and the team is not doing well in defence, then the centre-backs and the 'keeper suffer more than the others.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
I have always had sympathy for Atletico Madrid because, among other things, I have friends there, and my father always liked Atletico.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
To improve teams like Newcastle, if you do the right things, it is enough to be stronger and bigger and compete.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
I come from a Napoli team who scored 104 goals. Do you think I'm going to be hyper-defensive with Real Madrid? A team that creates chances and is great in possession is not defensive.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
I have to concentrate on my job and try to do my best in the things that I know. Coaching the team and trying to have a winning mentality.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
The most important thing is that my players work well. What people say on the outside is not important.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
You go to Madrid, you have four or five teams at the maximum level. You go to Milan, and it's the same. Napoli is similar to Newcastle in terms of everyone supporting one club in the city. It's positive and unique when you have that.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
When I arrived at Liverpool, the budget was £20m gross. When I left, it was £17m, but still people said I must win the title. Manchester United had around £50m more every year, but they said I must compete against them.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
I was lucky to see Di Stefano, on the pitch, in person. He was a winner, as is Raul.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
I was under pressure in my first season at Valencia, and we won the title. Two years later, I was under more pressure there, and we won the title and the UEFA Cup.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
If you spend £200million, £300m every year, obviously, even if you make mistakes, you have a good team, but without spending so much money, you can still improve and do well.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
When you play against a top side, you know they will have more possession, and they will be in more control, and you have to find one or two counterattacks.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
Always you will miss something if you have to go, because you are trying to improve players who are people. You talk with them and work with them every day. You will miss them.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
How can you change things when you are under pressure? You don't tell a player who keeps giving the ball away not to touch the ball; you keep training and working hard.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
Real Madrid approach each match and each competition with the idea of winning it.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
Having the family around is always very important because they are supportive. If you have a good day, you can enjoy it together. And if you have a bad day, you always find something as a distraction with your children, because they are normally happy.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
There are massive clubs with massive amounts of money, and Liverpool were always a little bit behind. But if you create a good team, a good atmosphere, and work hard, you can get there. You can win trophies.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
I have been doing this for a long ,and it is the players who learn who you need to work with. You have to coach them to think and understand the game. If they cannot, then you have to tell them, 'You have to do this anyway,' but the best thing to do is say, 'Listen, if he is doing this, then maybe you have to do that.'
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
The fans say you can do this and that, but you have to analyse the potential of the team with your staff. Will it be enough to be at the top until the end of the season? You never know.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
Everyone has to have the same targets, and the fans are very important for every team, for the motivation of the players. It's the same in every club.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
Chelsea is a big club with fantastic players; every manager wants to coach a such a big team. But I would never take that job, in respect for my former team at Liverpool, no matter what.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
I don't spend all day thinking about football. But a large part of it, yeah.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
Wenger is a great manager, a great person, someone who knows the league here in England.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
When someone gets angry during a training session but then does their job, there's no problem; it's fine.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
In football, it is a question sometimes of the mentality, understanding the players, the atmosphere, the confidence.
Quote by -Rafael Benitez
I go to the training ground early in the morning, between 7:30 A.M. and 8:30 A.M. Not just me, my staff. Then, sometimes I leave at 8 P.M. or 6 P.M.
