Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez told reporters yesterday and promised to liverpool supporters by saying, “I will fight every inch of way to make Liverpool FC champions”.

Benitez admits that it will be a testing summer with only a limited transfer kitty at his disposal. However, Benitez believes his transfer kitty is big enough to land his main targets. And he insists he only needs “one or two” players to ensure the Reds build on the progress they made during a memorable campaign last season.

Rafael Benitez said, “When I decided to sign a new contract I did it because Liverpool Football Club is more than a club. It is the heart of the city. It is our life and for the people here it means so much. I thought I had to sign. We have to fight. We have to do it. The people in this city are always fighting and have been fighting all their lives. We want to do the same. We know the situation is not fantastic but I have a lot of confidence in our squad and we want to fight like we did this year.”

“It has been a terrific season for us. We came very close and we were competing on all fronts. We want to repeat the same next season. I won’t talk about any figures and I can’t say how much we have. Clearly we don’t have too much to spend but I think we have enough money to add the one or two players that we need. I’m very happy with the squad we’ve got. If we can sign one or two players then I’m really positive that we can improve.”, He Added.

Benitez continued, “I’m also positive because we were talking recently about how Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard didn’t play together for a long time this season. Hopefully they will play together more next season. We’ve also got good young players like David Ngog, Nabil El Zhar, Ryan Babel and Emiliano Insua, who was playing really well, coming through.”

“We have a very good squad but we can still improve a little bit. How much can we improve? Enough to the win the title? I’m sure it will be enough to compete. Like this year we will try to compete on all fronts until the end.”
