Babel: Benitez knows I want Liverpool stay
After impressing in victory over West Ham, Ryan Babel pledged his future to Liverpool.
He said: “I did an interview in Holland and I don’t know who in England got hold of it but it was the worst translation I have ever seen. The fact is I’m very happy here and I don’t want to leave to go anywhere.
“Yes, there is a lot of competition for places at Liverpool but that’s the same at every top club. It was like that when I was at Ajax and that isn’t a problem for me. I didn’t accuse the manager of anything.
“I heard about what was being reported when I was away with Holland.
“When I got back to Liverpool I went straight to the manager and told him it wasn’t true.
“He accepted that and there is no problem. Now I just want to concentrate on playing.”
