Rafael Benitez Goals Quotations

I am really happy because we played well, scored goals and could have won by a lot more than 3-1 in the end.

The team has a lot of confidence in games. We know we can concede goals and still win matches. But it would be good to go in front and keep a clean sheet in these games instead.

It's his birthday and scoring goals is the best way to celebrate for a striker but we are not talking about his new contract. That'll be the next question. I like to see him scoring goals, for sure, and also playing well. The most important thing for us is to see him working hard until the end. He did that.

He has done a good job for us. For a striker it is really important to score goals and now I will have more options.

In my opinion, we had a good first-half and they had a good second-half. But football is all about scoring goals and we scored two and they only scored one,

If I say 'no' it will be difficult for me, but he will understand, and if I say 'yes' it will be good for me, him and the supporters. I am not in a hurry, but if he continues to score goals then it will be an easy decision. The more he scores, the more he's likely to stay.

We need to analyze a few more things. I am not in a hurry but if he continues to score goals then it will be an easy decision. The more he scores, the more he's likely to stay.

I don't want to blame the officials. For me the most important thing is to score goals with the number of opportunities we are creating.

I am happy with the performance of the team but we should have scored more goals and their goalkeeper played very well. I told the players at halftime to finish the game off but we couldn't get the third goal.
