Rafa Benitez furious at Chelsea tarts

by Anfield Online | 5th February 2006

Rafael Benitez displayed his newly found Scouse wit in the post match interview after ridiculing Arjen Robben's reaction to Jose Reina's light touch which got the keeper a red card.

"I'm in a hurry and I must go to the hospital to see how Robben is, he could be in hospital for a week," commented Benitez.

"It's a crazy situation. Reina made a mistake when he was provoked and touched Robben on the face, but has he broken his neck? I don't understand why you can kick everyone in a game then you touch one player and you are sent-off.

"What sort of professional would do that to another professional knowing he could make him miss three matches?"

Liverpool are likely to appeal against the decision which is set to rule Reina out of the coming matches against Charlton, Wigan and Arsenal.
