Benitez predicts Euro recovery

21 October 2009 07:57
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is backing his side to overcome the odds and qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League. A 2-1 home defeat by Lyon on Tuesday, on the back of a defeat in Fiorentina, has made qualification for the last 16 a difficult task at the halfway stage of the group stages. The Reds have launched amazing recoveries in group stages in previous seasons to advance in Europe's premier club competition, and will need another one now. Benitez said: "We have come back before, and we can do it again. We now must be ready for the next match. I have confidence that we have the quality to overcome these problems. "We have to push players now, to keep working and to maintain our confidence."
