Rafa talks Xabi Alonso future
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has revealed he has nothing personal against Xabi Alonso. Arsenal were chasing the Spaniard in the summer, but Liverpool decided to keep the midfielder, who scored the winner against Chelsea at the weekend.
Benitez said: "What happened in the summer with Alonso is just football, and you always have to try to change things.
"Maybe I will now tell half a dozen players that I may sell them, maybe they will all start to play as well as Xabi!
"It doesn't matter whether I change my mind about something or the player changes his mind. What matters is that as a manager if I have a good player, a good professional, I will use that player for the benefit of the team.
"He is our player and we will try to take the best from him."
