Rafael Benitez Urges Liverpool To Step Up Premier League Preparations


Liverpool have lost their opening two games of their pre-season, and although manager Rafael Benitez isn't concerned by the results or the performances, he wants to see his side return to winning ways when they take on Thailand this evening.

Speaking to the clubs official website, Benitez said, “We know there is going to be a fantastic crowd here and that they will be giving us great support, so of course we want to win for them.”

The Liverpool boss went on to give his reaction to the club's support in Thailand, saying, “When you come to a country like Thailand and see all the supporters then it again makes you proud to be the manager of the club. I hope we can put on a show for the fans tonight, but it won't be easy.”

Reflecting on his team's preseason so far, Benitez added, "The only thing wrong with our games so far have been the results, especially the last one in Vienna. The players are working hard in difficult conditions out here, but we are preparing them properly for the season which is when it really matters."
