David moyes told me that the two of you have spent time together in italy with your families and I was wondering if this could bring about friendly merseyside derbies in the future ?
He said : " all new players when they see a game of this tempo are always a little bit surprised because they see the difference between this derby and derbies in other countries . But that 's part of the adaptation . "
They bring the very best out of everyone . These derbies , though , are more civilised in england , people know you can win or lose . In argentina and brazil they have a different mentality and winning is all they understand .
The reds boss , relaxed and in confident mood ahead of one of the most intriguing derbies in years , jokingly spoke of an intense focus on " a small game this sunday " .
曼联老板在近些年最引人关注的德比战前显得很轻松,他开玩笑说大家过于关注“周日的这场普通比赛了”。
Asked what he felt the secret behind liverpool 's impressive derby record was , benitez replied : " we have a good team and anfield is always difficult for anyone . In derbies , the atmosphere is really good for us , so maybe that is the reason why . "
But lucas added , " we may have tasted defeat but from what I have seen in the recent derbies everton are not better than us . We have more things to concentrate on , like the champions league . "
