Rafa pleased with clean sheet, Torres
Published by Zac Lee Rigg on August 17, 2008
In the opening day of the Premier League, managers are looking for 3 points however they can get them. After that, they want a clean sheet, and the level of play can come later. It might have been a bit dour and disjointed, but Liverpool and Rafa Benitez will take the win and shutout.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.tv, Benitez had this to say of the Sunderland game: “I think it was a difficult game first half. They controlled the game in the opening 45 minutes but didn’t have clear chances other than one. We were a little under pressure but the second half was different.
“We were controlling it and the quality of our passing was much better. We had plenty of possession and were much better going forward.
“The difference at the end of the game was Torres. We know he can score these kind of goals but the team as a whole needs to play well.
“It was also important that we kept a clean sheet.”
