Ex Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez, has defended himself after current LFC boss Roy Hodgson accused him of banning Reds legend Kenny Dalglish from Liverpool's Melwood training ground during his time in charge.Rafa who is back in England for Tomorrow night's Champions League match at Tottenham, was attempting to once again set the record straight in front of a baying press pack
"I think that Mr Hodgson, he doesn't understand," Benitez said.
"Every single press conference is even worse than the last one. He's talking about things that he doesn't know.
"And some people cannot see a priest on a mountain of sugar.
"Maybe he hasn't been in Liverpool too long. We gave the fans their pride - again. We fought for the fans, we fought for the club and we fought for our players.
"So maybe he cannot understand this."
He added: "I brought back Kenny Dalglish to do a role in the club and Christian Purslow gave him another role.
"He (Hodgson) doesn't know but I will explain it to him.
"So, instead of talking about the flips or the flops, he has to concentrate on his players, try to do his best.
"He has a good job to do."
"They've signed nine players.
"With £10million net spending, I left that squad with £300million value, 13 internationals.
"So, instead of talking about flips and flops, he has to concentrate on his job, try to do his best and not talk about the level of his players or the new players.
"Concentrate, try to do your best because it will be the best for the club and it will be the best for the fans."
No doubt Benitez’s comments will attract more criticism from the British press intent on re-writing his history, as another “rant”.

Roy should shut the fuck up and close the door on his way out.
