PREMIER LEAGUE Miracle man Rafa I’ve respect for Wenger, but others...

RAFA BENITEZ had a pop at the likes of Jose Mourinho as he hailed today’s visiting boss Arsene Wenger.

Benitez, who has had spats with Mourinho and Sam Allardyce to name two, said: “I always like the way Arsene Wenger’s team play and his behaviour. He respects others.

“He is upset like everyone when you lose, or something is wrong. But still there is a big difference between him and maybe the others.”

Benitez, who said it was “not fair” to discuss talk of him replacing Wenger, admitted: “I was thinking about staying 20 years at Liverpool. I’d like to stay a lot of years at any club that wants to be competitiv­e.”
