Rafa Benitex still up for the fight at chelsea

Rafael benitex remembers it was a different sir

Alex Ferguson he met at Stade de France, on a May night in Paris seven years ago. The two of them and their wives had been invited by Uefa to Arsenal's Champions League final against Barcelona and it was after Ferguson and Lady Cathy were walking out into the Saint-Denis night that the Manchester United manager was subjected to some almighty abuse from some Arsenal fans, whose side had just lost. Those were the days when Benitez, who had already been Liverpool manager for two years, did not excite such extreme reactions from English fans and so he was able to step in. He ushered the Fergusons away from the madness.

HAD A T-SHIRT MESSAGE FOR MY DEAR MUM BUT

The hero of the Super Eagles’ draw against Kenya in Calabar Nnamdi Oduamadi tells JOHNNY EDWARD how his plans for an elaboration dedication to his loving mum were affected by the result. The Varese winger also reveals his ambition regarding AC Milan, among other issues…


After more than eight months out of the Super Eagles, how does it feel returning to the team and scoring a decisive goal to earn the team a point on Saturday?

It feels good to be back in the team and to have scored a goal as well but it would have been wonderful if we had won with the three points in our kitty. Everyone expected us to win but we couldn't get behind the Kenyans who were on the back foot for the better part of the game. We still have three games to play and I believe we will finish as group leaders.  It would have been more painful if we lost. We conceded a goal against the run of play and we didn't take our chances;  but give it to the Kenyans too because they did well.
Watching the Eagles trail the Harambee Stars from the bench, could you tell us what was going through your mind before you came on in the 75th minute?
