Rafa plays down no.2 role

08 October 2007 - 23:19

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has played down the loss of his assistant Paco Ayesteran and claimed that his departure has nothing to do with Liverpool's sudden dip in form.

  • Chelsea set to hold talks with £22m winger
  • Chelsea set for contract talks with £26m star

  • Ayesteran was in charge of players’ fitness and conditioning at Melwood and Benitez said: “We were analysing the data today and the game in which we ran the most this season was the last one.



    "We ran more kilometres and at a higher intensity than any other game. The physical condition of the players was fantastic.



    "In terms of coaching, I was coaching, as always.



    "I am not a traditional English manager always in my office. I like to be on the pitch.



    "I was always on the pitch before, I was on the pitch today and I will be on the pitch tomorrow."
