Liverpool boss Benitez expects cagey Lille clash

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Wed, 03/17/2010 - 21:04

Rafa Benitez says Liverpool must be patient in their Europa League return-leg clash with Lille.

The Reds must overturn a 1-0 deficit to make progress.

"On Monday we could see the football the side can play and hopefully we can see that against Lille, although it will be difficult," said Benitez.

"Everyone wants to see attacking football and we try to approach every game in the same way and sometimes you can but sometimes you cannot.

"We knew we needed to push Portsmouth from the beginning because they are not having an easy time but that was a different game.

"We played good football and the fans were happy and it was good for confidence - but we must win [against Lille] because we lost the first leg.

"We have to make sure we do the right things: score, keep a clean sheet and do good football things."
