Liverpool boss Benitez clashed with Riera over young player bust-up

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Fri, 03/19/2010 - 07:43

Liverpool winger Albert Riera clashed with a young reserve player, which sparked his rift with manager Rafa Benitez, it has been revealed.

The Daily Mail says Benitez was shocked by the Spain winger’s outburst at the unnamed youngster which was quickly defused by other senior players.

Riera was immediately excluded from Liverpool’s squad and is unlikely to force his way back in with Benitez suspending his £6million signing until Monday and hammering him with a fine of around £70,000.

Benitez has also been infuriated by the timing and contents of an interview with a Spanish radio station, in which Riera claimed he had been ostracised, accused his boss of lacking communication skills and described Liverpool as "a sinking ship".

LOL, Dani, nice post. I don't know about the Spanish fans bit, though -- it seems an unfair generalization. Benitez has really led Liverpool down a merry lark around the bush imo. He was extremely lucky that Torres somehow grew up as a Liverpool fan and dreamed of coming to the club.
