LIVERPOOL FC: BOSS ORDERS PLAYERS TO FORGET SEMI-FINAL

/noticias.info/ Rafael Benitez has ordered his players to forget about possible Champions League glory and concentrate on the job of making sure the Reds finish fourth this season.
The two-legged European semi-final may be just days away, but Benitez insists this week's matches at Portsmouth and Crystal Palace must take priority as Liverpool search for a six point return which would make ending the season in fourth place that much easier.

He said: "If we win our two matches this week then we should be in the top four. That is how important these games are.

"My message to my players is simple. We have five more games and we have to win. They have to go right to the end in the league, because that is still the best route into the Champions League next season.

"It is easy for me to motivate for the Champions League, all the players will be up for that. But the most important games are the ones this week.

"We have to win them, we have to be motivated for them. You can easily be distracted by the Champions League, but for me, the top four in the Premier League is still far more important. That is all I think about at the moment." notas_de_prensa_archivo
