Torres: “Rafa rules the roost!”

Fernando Torres has told of the fear the Spanish contingent at Anfield hold for manager Rafa Benitez, after stating that players get fined if they are caught using their mother-tongue to communicate with one another.

The Spanish international superstar told the Daily Mail: “There are 12 Spanish speakers but we try not to talk in Spanish because if he catches us, Rafa fines us.

“He always speaks in English to the Spanish, except when there’s something you don’t understand. At the start it was difficult. But with every day, I’m getting to know the language and the city better.” he added.
