Rafa Benitez: We Need A Strong Referee To Monitor Drogba

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez wants the officials in Wednesday’s Champions League semi-final second leg at Chelsea to clamp down on what he sees as Didier Drogba’s theatrics.

Benitez believes Londoners’ striker Drogba goes down far too easily.

“With Drogba, it’s important to have a good referee,” the Spaniard said. “You can’t do anything, but I will say it because it was so clear. He is amazing because he is massive. It’s very impressive. I have a lot of clips of him from over the years and he surprises me. After four years, I expected it.”

Benitez revealed he had compiled clips of Drogba’s playing style.

“The referee was giving fouls last week. And it was not the same with Torres,” he added.
