Rafa Loves Yossi

Yossi Benayoun is going nowhere this season as Rafael Benitez has declared his love for Liverpool's number 11.

Benayoun has been linked with a move away from the club, but after scoring 11 goals last season Rafa has told Yossi he loves him and does not want him to leave; according to Benayoun himself:
“It seems the media in Israel and England are in a contest to see who’s more bored during the slow summer months. The media in England published a story that Rafael Benitez told me finally that I’m staying at Liverpool.

“These reports are the work of the writer’s imagination because, even before the season ended, we determined that I would be staying.
“Benitez told me unequivocally that he brought me here, that I had a very good season, that he’s depending on me and that there’s no way I’ll leave Liverpool.

“I have very good chemistry with Benitez. He loves me. He bought me. I really enjoy being with him, moreover, I had an excellent season. I even surprised myself. Benitez didn't want to hear and isn’t prepared to hear about any possibility of letting me go at any price.”
