Pacheco Fears Benitez Sacking Has Wrecked His Liverpool Dream

Liverpool striker Daniel Pacheco believes the sacking of Rafa Benitez has hampered his progress at Anfield.

Kenny Dalglish has sent the Spain Under-21 international on loan to Atletico Madrid but in a strange twist - and without playing a single game - he has been loaned out further to Rayo Vallecano.

Pacheco joined Liverpool's youth ranks from Barcelona in 2007, but the 20-year-old has made just five league appearances in his time on Merseyside and it seems increasingly apparent that his future lies elsewhere.

"I did not get tired of Liverpool and I hope I have not ended my time there because it is a good competition," he said.

"But with Rafa Benitez's departure I felt my progress has been held back and I wanted to go somewhere I was at ease and could show my strengths.

"There were no opportunities and that is why I have had to leave. I want to progress to do that. I needed to change."
