Alvaro Arbeloa has branded Rafa Benitez's management style as "a bit robotic".
And the defender, who left Liverpool for Real Madrid last year, claims his old boss won't throw caution to the wind.
He said: "Rafa doesn't want you to take any risks ever. He's happy to score first and sit back."
Arbeloa, 27, added: "What Rafa wants, the team does. Every player knows what he wants. The one-two-three you work on in the week is the one-two-three you produce in matches. At times that can be a bit robotic."
But he praised Benitez for being "hugely important" in his development.
He said: "He improves you. He's correcting you every single second, always wanting more. That was good for me."
