The last knight from Rafa’s Empire
By Dominic Vieira, writing from Lancaster, England
It wasn’t long ago when the Spanish language could easily be detected circulating the Anfield changing room, that voice would’ve belonged to Rafa Benitez or to the several Spaniards and Argentinian. Those men became the pillars of Rafa’s empire alongside the leadership of locals Gerrard and Carragher. It’s normal for a foreign manager to introduce player’s from his home country to the club as he will recognize their capabilities and potential, how many French men has Arsene Wenger signed? During a 6 year reign, Rafa Benitez created 3 unique teams in which the first won the Champions League, the second were runners-up and the third won absolutely nothing. However, they all included influential Spanish speaking players.
