LIVERPOOL manager Rafael Benitez is confident his players will cope with the upheaval surrounding their preparations for the Europa League semi-final against Atletico Madrid.UEFA have ruled the first leg will go ahead on Thursday and so the Reds have had to make plans to cover much of the 2,600-mile trip to Madrid overland, with the last part of the journey involving a flight from Bordeaux airport.There is, however, an option to switch to a plane in London if European airspace is re-opened.'We will not have too many days to be ready for an important game but hopefully the journey will be good,' said Benitez after his side's 3-0 victory over West Ham at Anfield.'We can try to prepare plan A and plan B. "Everything is ready and we will go on Tuesday.'There are not too many options (for postponing the game).
