Insights from Benitez

In an interview with TNT Sport, the former Newcastle manager remarked: “Here’s a little secret. When I converse with individuals in Newcastle, they often mention how much they miss him.”

He continued, “He performed exceptionally well and adapted seamlessly to the team’s style and gameplay. He’s intelligent with his positioning, capable of playing both centrally and on the flank. His ability to make deep runs and dribble effectively sets him apart.”

Benitez, who also held the managerial position at Liverpool, concluded: “I genuinely believe this is an outstanding acquisition for Liverpool and a significant loss for Newcastle.”
