Benitez is eager to put an end to a poor run which has seen Liverpool lose their last three soccer matches against Chelsea, Fiorentina, and Sunderland and recognizes that he needs his star duo back to full fitness as soon as possible. Benitez, meanwhile, has urged his players to forget about the unfortunate loss on Wearside, courtesy of a Liverpool fan's beach ball, and concentrate on their Champions League task.
"You can guarantee that if we win against Lyon the mood will change, and if we can win against [Manchester] United [Sunday], the mood will be totally different," Benitez told the club's official website. "When you are not winning, to play another game quickly and have the opportunity to change things is the best thing for any soccer club."
"We have some experience here among the staff and some of the players. When you are in the situation we are in, the main thing is to keep calm, analyse what is going on and be ready for the next game," says Benitez.
"The only solution when you have a good team is to stay together and work hard. Again I will say that we got 86 points last year, not because we were lucky, but because we did a very good job," says coach Benitez.
It is clear that The Red's have come to play and have the added boost from the return of their Skipper Steven Gerrard. The soccer club is committed to excellence and the pursuit towards the championship. The soccer club has expressed their desire to come out on top against the French Soccer Club and will produce a squad on match day that will lead them to victory.
