Benitez ends feud with hand shake
|
Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez shook hands with Jose Mourinho at the end of their 1-0 defeat at Chelsea yesterday.
Benitez said: "We didn't have passionate problems. It was a question of education.
"We needed to shake hands and give this message to the people."
Mourinho was also pleased to bury the hatchet and said: "I would have preferred to do it in the tunnel where we could also have shared a few words but we didn't have the chance.
"He wasn't happy like I wasn't happy with the previous period and now it's over.
"We don't have to be close friends. We don't have the time to be close friends and we are two different sides fighting for the same objective.
"But we have a relationship of respect. I admire his qualities as a coach and I'm happy we shook hands."
