Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu says Rafa Benitez deserved better at Chelsea.
Romeu had his best stint with Chelsea under the Real Madrid coach.
"Rafa Benitez came in and he was good,' says Romeu. 'I know he's been criticised but he worked unbelievably hard on the tactics," he told the Daily Mail.
"His organisation and attention to detail was amazing. I broke back into the team when he took over, I started three games in a row and then came a cruciate knee ligament injury at Sunderland."
