Guillem Balague - a Sky Sports pundit for their Spanish football coverage ( also a close freind of Benetiz )- said:
"Liverpool would become like the great AC Milan team. Defending as a unit but always attacking as one as well. He will change Liverpool and he will make them a force again....."
that'll do me!
That great Milan team were modelled on Liverpool.
I agree, the great Milan side played 4-4-2, with a "pressing" style of play which was introduced by then coach Aragio Saachi (did I get the ame right?).
I remembered that he also said that the style was adopted on Liverpool's style of play during the Bob Paisley era.
If Benitez can do at Liverpool what he did at Valencia, we should definitely make progress over what Houllier achieved.
