Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez believes those players who countries have qualified for the World Cup will play with more freedom now. Benitez is relieved that his English, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Brazilian players know they are on their way to next summer's World Cup finals in South Africa.
Benitez said: "I am not sure now what various international managers will do with their players in final qualifying games now they are sure of going to the finals.
"They may try to rest players, experiment or plan, but for sure everyone will now be relaxed and not playing under such pressure.
"Now that the English and Spanish players have qualified this week it should make things easier for us.
"At least mentally they do not need to worry any more about their qualification.
"They need to go to internationals now and enjoy the situation, and that will be another plus point for us because there are no distractions with regard to qualifying or not now. They are there."
