Rafa explains Gerrard moveLiverpool manager Rafael Benitez has revealed that he has talked with skipper Steven Gerrard regarding his substitution in the Merseyside derby last weekend.
Speaking to the official Liverpool website, Benitez said: "When you are a manager you need to make decisions, not just think about them. You must think how you can win the game. Every player is the same for me when you are trying to win a game.
"We have talked because every player would be disappointed, especially Gerrard because it was a derby. He wanted to score the winning goal, but he is okay. After some time he'll understand that it was an idea and I was thinking about the best for the team.
"You know when you change a player he must show that he wants to play, but I think he was okay at the end."
