Rafa Benitez has denied claims from Steven Gerrard that he never liked him as a person.
The former Liverpool captain's autobiography, 'My Story', suggests that the English midfielder and Spanish tactician did not really get along during their time spent together at Anfied.
However, Real Madrid boss Benitez believes Gerrard has made the explosive claims in a bid to simply try and to sell more books.
"I have read the quotes and I believe he is wrong," Benitez told Spanish television.
"Out of the respect that I have for Stevie and for the value and appreciation I have for him, and for Liverpool and the supporters, I think it's best to just let it pass.
"He has brought out a book and now I'm the Real Madrid manager, that sells."
