Cascarino: Benítez Style Of Football Is Not Fit For The Bernabéu Car park


The former Chelsea FC and Aston Villa forward Tony Cascarino believes Rafa Benitez must take responsibility for Liverpool FC’s woes this season.

The Republic of Ireland legend claims rumours of Real Madrid’s interest in Benitez are ludicrous because the Liverpool FC manager’s brand of football is clearly not suited to the Bernabeu.

Liverpool FC are currently struggling to finish inside the Premier League’s top four this season, and the ex-Aston Villa star suggests Benitez’s negative tactics are to blame.

Despite Liverpool FC’s woes this season the former Valencia coach continues to be linked with the Real Madrid job Cascarino clearly feels Benitez is ill-suited to it.

Liverpool FC have scored just nine goals in ten games, and with Portsmouth, Lille and Manchester United to come in the space of a week, Cascarino is unsure where their next goal will come from.

The former Aston Villa forward told the Times: “Rumours persist that Rafael Benítez is off to Real Madrid but, at the moment, his style of football is not fit for the Bernabéu car park.”

“It’s negative, defensive, spoiling, “nothing” football.”

“It reminds me of the England rugby union team, who cannot score tries and do not look like doing so.”

“Liverpool rarely look like scoring — only nine goals in ten games. What a bore, Rafa.”
