The Rafa interview
Tuesday, 07 April
Reporter : Rafa, Yossi was supposed to be injured when he played for Israel and he still scored at Fulham. Is he in the team today?
Rafa : Alex Ferguson is the only manager who can get away after abusing the referee.
Rep : I suppose you didn't hear my question. I asked about Yossi Benayoun's goal on Saturday.
Rafa : I think they are nervous that we are on top at the moment.
Rep : But you are not top.
Rafa : I mean, we were on top till the 93rd minute on Sunday's game.
Rep : But, what about Benayoun?
Rafa : I heard that Villa's striker Agbonlahor was fouled before the ball finally went to that Italian player in the match. But then Sir Alex has a way with referees.
Rep : Alright. How about today's game against Chelsea?
Rafa : Yes. Next question please.
Rep : Are you going with two strikers up front?
Rafa : We will keep winning and put pressure on them and hope they will slip.
Rep : Ok . Thank you. |

Benitez claims Ferguson is ''scared'' of Liverpool
Rafael Benitez has accused Sir Alex Ferguson of being scared of his Liverpool side and talking ''too much'' about other teams.
The Anfield chief, despite having the Champions League showdown with Chelsea as his immediate objective, could not resist another swipe at the Manchester United chief as the Premier League race reaches boiling point.
Benitez was responding to claims from Ferguson that the loser of the Liverpool-Chelsea quarter-final will then be United's biggest challenger for the title because they will only have one competition to contend with.
But the fierce battle with United for the domestic title is clearly Benitez's driving inspiration and he has now added to his previous rant against the current Champions, which momentarily derailed their title push before the draw with Stoke in January.
He said of Ferguson's claims: ''It is not mind games, I think it maybe is that he is a little bit scared (of us).''
Liverpool took over at the top of the table on Saturday evening with a late winner by Benayoun at Fulham. But less than 24 hours later, United produced a stunning comeback victory over Aston Villa with the decisive goal coming in the fourth minute of injury-time from 17-year-old Federico Macheda.
That grabbed the initiative back for the Old Trafford club, but Benitez has come out fighting.
He said: ''I do not have a problem with United. Clearly one of us, either Chelsea or us, will end up focusing just on the Premier League after this.
''I think Sir Alex will be supporting Liverpool in this tie because he knows we are the bigger threat now.
''If we continue in the Champions League maybe he will think we are tired. If we are not in this competition then he knows that we will be a (bigger) threat in the Premier League.
''If Chelsea are not in the competition, then he knows they will then be a threat also in the league. But he will lose anyway, whoever goes out, because they will still be a big threat to United.
''You have to prepare well for every single Premier League game, it is tough (to be in the Champions League as well). So he will clearly be supporting us tomorrow and next week.
''I would like to be worried about both competitions, it means we will continue to be successful.
''We just concentrate on our team, while he likes to talk too much about other teams.''
Benitez claims he was unmoved by United's late heroics against Villa, saying: ''We knew there would be situations like this, with us one point ahead, or one point behind. And everyone knows five minutes (of injury time) at Old Trafford is a very long time.
''I watched the game, but once United scored their second you felt they would win the game.
''He (Ferguson) is in the driving seat now and in a better position, but there is still a long way to go and we have confidence. We are pushing them and we will push them until the end.''
p/s:yes that rite Rafa not only tok alex scared of u but we all scared to Liverfool after u beat us n our dustbin team...  |

Manchester United 2-2 Porto
Manchester United face an early exit after failing to hold on to the late advantage provided by Carlos Tevez.
Although United were outplayed in the first half, Wayne Rooney's fortuitous 14th goal of the season had ensured the Red Devils were level heading into the final stages.
When Tevez turned home Rooney's back-flick five minutes from time, Sir Alex Ferguson's men must have thought they had come through a very difficult evening.
But not for the first time, they lost concentration in defence and with just a minute left, Mariano found himself totally unmarked as he finished off a cross from the excellent Lisandro.
Ferguson had played down the belief that his side had it easy.
The fact their Portuguese opponents had finished above Arsenal in the group stages and dumped out a highly-rated Atletico Madrid outfit in the last round seemed to get overlooked in the assessment.
Yet even before they scored, Porto had served notice that their speed and slick passing game was going to be difficult to contain.
Lisandro drew an excellent save out of Edwin van der Sar after leaving Evans looking distinctly flat-footed.
The young Northern Ireland defender has drawn warm praise for the way he has stood in for both Rio Ferdinand and the returning Nemanja Vidic this season.
But against Aston Villa last Sunday came the first sign that the strain is starting to tell on the 21-year-old.
And after one escape, Porto were in no mood to offer another as a slack pass from Cristiano Ronaldo put United under pressure, just as it did on Sunday.
Lisandro swung over a cross that Evans should have dealt with comfortably.
Instead, he prodded the ball straight to Rodriguez, who took a stride forward before calmly curling a shot into the bottom corner.
Lisandro tested Van der Sar again shortly afterwards as United again found themselves indebted to the keeper who, at 38, was preventing a total collapse.
It was the same kind of mauling United inflicted on Inter Milan at the San Siro during the first leg of their last 16 meeting in February.
Ferguson left Milan that night wondering how his side had not come away with a victory. Porto counterpart Jesualdo Ferreira must have been feeling exactly the same at half-time given United had managed to drag themselves level.
There was certainly no need for an inquest as to how the home side got their goal. There was not a hole big enough for Alves to leap into as he contemplated his catastrophic mistake.
Alves presumably thought he was doing exactly the right thing when he turned Aly Cissokho's square pass back to Helton.
Unfortunately for the Portugal international, he had not bothered to look and therefore spot Rooney in a position that required only the finish, which the England striker delivered with nerveless authority.
It was another 20 minutes before United created an opportunity by themselves, which Darren Fletcher cannoned into Cissokho.
The intervening period had been spent chasing shadows as Lisandro, Hulk and Rodriguez made a mockery of Porto's status as competition outsiders.
Ferguson used the interval wisely judging by the way his team began the second period, showing a bit more of the finesse Old Trafford is used to.
Still, it took a moment of inspiration from Rooney to threaten the visitors' goal as Helton touched the striker's sublime chip over.
Ryan Giggs' corner brought a more routine opportunity as Vidic climbed highest only for Helton to prove the equal of a powerful header.
For all United had gained a solid foothold in the contest, Porto were still an electrifying attacking force. Lisandro and Cissokho both brought decent saves out of Van der Sar before Carlos Tevez, chasing back shortly after being introduced as a substitute, seemed to chop Hulk down in the area.
It did not come anywhere near the good fortune Rooney had profited from earlier but as a whole, Porto might have started to wonder whether the crucial element of luck would be missing from their quest to reach the last four.
When Tevez turned home Rooney's sublime back-flick five minutes from time, it seemed those fears had turned to reality.
But, as the celebrations rang round the stadium, Porto powered up to the other end where Mariano did his own supersub impression, drifting into space at the far post to finish off Lisandro's cross.
