RAFA: WHY I SAT DURING PENALTIES

Rafa Benitez has explained his reasons for sitting cross-legged during Tuesday's penalty shoot-out.
The Spaniard's unusual pose caused quite a stir after the semi-final victory against Chelsea. However, the Reds boss today told liverpoolfc.tv that he decided to sit simply so the supporters could see.
"The Chelsea players were standing up in front of the bench, but the supporters were then asking them to sit," said Benitez.

"We went to one side, but again the supporters couldn't see, so we sat down and watched. We were thinking about our people.

"It's true I was really calm because I had a lot of confidence in Pepe. He is very good at penalties. Also, the players I selected had been practising. They'd played against Pepe and Jerzy in almost every training session. I had a lot of confidence."

Damn, why didn't I think of such a simple reason. Sorry to quote my previous post.
