RAFA DRAWS A LINE UNDER STEVIE SAGA
Mark Platt 11 July 2005
Rafael Benitez has hit-out at the mischievous press reports suggesting he and Steven Gerrard had a bust-up prior to the skipper signing a new contract with the club last week.
The Liverpool manager insists there are no problems between him and his captain, and he's keen to draw a line under the rumours once and for all.
"They were lying," said Rafa, when asked about the allegations yet again at the weekend. "They were trying to find a problem between him, me and the club. When the newspapers claimed we were fighting on the training pitch, I was actually in my office.
"The relationship between us is good and if it is possible now we will try to make it better. When the captain says he wants to go, then as a manager you try and resolve the situation.
"As a manager you try to work with your players, so if you have a player as good as Gerrard why would I want to fight with him?
"Now my relationship with Steven is good - with my wife it is better! We have always talked together, but when people are talking about his future, it is difficult to talk with him about that. Now we only need to talk about football.
"After talking with him and analysing the situation, I think the uncertainty is now over. He is happy."
