Rodolfo Borrell has told Liverpool fans that manager Rafa Benitez is serious about improving their youth system.

Borrell worked at Barcelona before accepting a youth role with Liverpool last year and saw his U18s beat Everton 4-3 yesterday.

"It is a nice victory for me, but especially for the fans and the club," he told Liverpoolfc.tv. "I am also happy for Rafael Benitez, as he invests a lot of time in the club and the Academy.

"He made a bold move to bring me and the rest of my staff to Liverpool, so it's nice to be able to win this sort of match for him."
