Torres puts trust in Benitez
Liverpool, 11:23, November 27, 2009 ,
Fernando Torres has insisted under-fire manager Rafael Benitez is the right man to take Liverpool forward.
Champions League elimination on Tuesday increased the pressure on Benitez and the Anfield boss is charged with the task of lifting his players for the big Merseyside derby against Everton.
Injured striker Torres has said Liverpool must make finishing in the top four a priority and is convinced Benitez has the backing of the players.
"Benitez has shown that he is the right man to take Liverpool forward," Torres said.
"When the club has needed to be strong it always has been. Now is the time for everybody to stick together from the manager right down to the lowliest member of staff because above all else we want to make our wonderful fans happy with our performances and results.
"We must be united to finish as high as possible in the Premier League. I am convinced that we will end up in the top four. We also have high hopes for the FA Cup and the Europa League. At this time, this tournament has become a goal for the club."
