Rafa reminds me of Yoda so much, so wise, so short, and speaks in riddles but we still understand what he is trying to say
Haha! Football Yoda! Love it!
Great description
classic ynwa
strong in the force rafa is
Torres was his skywalker
Would never get bored of listening to rafa talk about football tactics
rafa a dinosaur he finished his tactics are old and outdated he a park the bus merchant he just a Spanish david moyes
"ticktacs"
@@AgentRafa glad u didnt take the bait
Glad u didnt take the bait m8
@@keyuantejohnson6266 Nice...You a manager? Rafa understands football beyond your capabilities.
Rafa has got to be one of the most underrated managers in the history:
- Won La Liga with Valencia beating Real Madrid and Barca
- Took Valencia to CL finals.
- Won the CL with Liverpool completing the greatest comeback in CL history.
- Lead Newcastle to a comfortable 10th place finish despite having one of the worst squads in the league.
LucasTorreiraisthegoat only managed like 6 games
Everywhere Rafa Benitez has went he's won something expect Real Madrid, he only lasted about 4/5 mouths there.
@LucasTorreiraisthegoat no he didn't steve mclaren got the toon relagated
unai emery is better than benitez
@LucasTorreiraisthegoat Are you dumb? They were pretty much already relegated when he took over. They had no chance of staying up that season.
Rafa is our number 5 champions league. we always loves u Rafa Benitez.
Gary Neville, Valecia's worst ever manager was scared shitless to front up against arguably the greatest Valencia manager (one of 2, definitely).
Fact bro haha.
Haha Facts
How Gary Neville thinks he can critique Rafa on tactics is beyond me?
@@eldio2124 Why shoudnt be able to do that? Criticise whoever u want! Rafa Benitez, lost with Inter and Madrid, also never won the league with Liverpool!
@@Nerviniex It's more the fact that Neville criticised Rafa's tactics at Newcastle when he was succeeding in what he was tasked to do. If Rafa was failing at Newcastle and had them in the relegation zone, then criticising Rafa's tactics would be a lot more justified.
I like that pride from Rafa, instead of giving credit to Ferguson and Mourinho he just pointed out they had better players
Dollarize looking back they did to be fair
A manager is only as good as his players
Mourinho never won at St James oark
and refs
Todor Ivanov like Liverpool this year
Rafa is great, love hearing him talk about the game.
Rafa: won 2 La Ligas with Valencia, and CL with Liverpool
Neville: almost got Valencia relegated, Assistant coach of England when Iceland knocked them out in Euro 2016.
Being pundit is easy.

Love rafa to bits, he will forever be remembered at Liverpool, I wonder what he could have done with proper money behind him at lpool. Honest guy with so much knowledge
yes he sold alot of good players,probably as he had to
It's hard to tell i remember when he wanted to swap Xabi Alonso with Barry which would have been problematic ... but on the hand... he did bring Fernando Torres, which was a good signing.
@@johni9274 He didn't want to sell Alonso. He wanted Barry and Keane for a left-sided partnership. Bellamy had just been made City's player of the year with Barry behind him on the left. Rafa was given Keane and told to sell to buy Barry. Nobody would say Barry is a better individual player than Alonso but people forget that Steve McLaren had put Barry into the England team with Gerrard instead of Lampard and turned results around. Is Barry better than Lampard? No, but in that England team he was. That's when Rafa got interested in Barry. Barry was also able to play in more positions, something Rafa liked in players. Alonso had also been injured for almost a season, come back and been injured again. Those are the problematic decisions media luvvies and fans don't have to make. And what happened when Alonso was put up for sale? One offer of £12m from Juventus. Where were all the brilliant European managers bidding for this midfield genius? The whole thing seemed to spur Alonso on and he had maybe his best season following that, which got Real interested. For a bit more context, they paid £25m for him at the same time they paid £80m for Ronaldo and £56m for Kaka. We all loved Alonso but there's been a lot of revisionism over that episode.
Raffa the gaffa love this man for what he did for our club...
I love the way he speaks. He leaves out all the unnecessary words and it's still easy to understand. YNWA Rafa!
It actually feels like Carragher has huge respect for Rafa & is in awe of him a little. Would love Rafa at Arsenal 🙏🏾
Huge result for Rafa?
@@attela3905 i think he meant respect.. maybe
Arsenal would love him really love him
@@happy_camper Well, 29 persons understood him perfectly it seems.
Atte La typo error meant respect
Will always remember the £96k donation. Lovely bloke.
Rafa will always be our legend......Fact !
5:02 Rafa is still the manager. Quiet down now Jamie senor is speaking.
:-)))))) loved it.
Like a father shutting down his son by making it seem like theyre in agreement.
Rafa Benitez... Put some respect to that man's name, he's a top class manager and a gentleman. And don't forget he's a beautiful human being up there with Kolo Toure:-))))
*Hmmm... I wonder why Gary Neville decided not to turn up on the day when Rafa was in the studio. Rafa could've thought him the basics of management and how to win leagues, titles and games with Valencia*
there nothing special about benitez winning 2 la liga titles with valencia in a farmers l
league
Theres nothing special for unai emery to win the league wih psg either yet somebody here thinks he's the best spanish manager lmao
How could Valencia's worst ever manager face up against a legend and 1 of 2 best managers at Valencia ever!!! Won 2 la ligas on a shoestring budget against the big spending big 2 and Deportivo.
@@keyuantejohnson6266 you are here on every comment to criticise rafa. I think u personally dont like him or u are Jose Mourinho lowkey hiding under fake account or youtube does pay you to spice the debates.
Rafa is one of the best tacticians in the game.
That's a top quality stuff. Rafa is a top, slightly underrated manager. Immense football knowledge. More of this, Sky!
Gotta love Rafa. Always be a legendary manager at Liverpool.
J B 💯
Exactly.
Got so much love for Rafa and what he did for us..REDS LEGEND!!..YNWA
Always felt if it wasn’t for hicks and gillett Rafa would have brought the title to Anfield. He came so close; but they were scandalous owners.
I'm more interested to see how liverpool throw the league away this year
SummerS me too. City are still massive favourites.
@@EzioWood write leicester off at your peril. I wrote them off every weekend when they won it & even when they officially won it I still wrote them off
SummerS oh I’m not writing them off at all. I just think it’s a bit too early to talk about titles at this stage of the season especially with Liverpool’s recent history. Man City being the only exception because they are the champions with the proven pedigree and also the resources.
I’ll happily review the situation May.
Defo mate, he would of finally done it I think. Don’t forget he nearly did it in 2009, Ronaldo was amazing that season, LFC only lost one game. Too many draws did them in the end. He would of stayed on but for those idiots, and they brought in Roy Hodgson, I have genuinely never seen so many bad players in red shirts when he was there!
Very respectful man. Always have time for you Benitez
Farley mate you got him spot on! The mannerisms, the arm actions
Dont get why he isnt still managing in the Prem. Utd fan here and can clearly see the man is a talented manager. Yes we have bants because hes ex pool but cant deny how good a tactician he is...
Part of the problem is that hes so hands on with every aspect of the club but the owners are rarely as commited.
Fact.
He cant take alot of prem jobs because of the clubs hes been at have alot of rivals rafa is a loyal man
@@cianomalley6152 why'd he join the blues then
@@cianomalley6152 anything to say boss?
When he started talking about percentage Jamie was thinking this is above my pay grade... love Jamie though... he has done so well on Sky sports
Love Rafa. An absolute legend at Liverpool on and off the pitch. With the right owners at the time he might have won at least one PL at Liverpool. Fantastic manager, an absolute mastermind in Europe
I will never forgive Ashley even more so for letting this gem walk out the door.
Rafa has to be the best guest MNF has ever had. Such an interesting guy.
I can imagine how Rafa managed his players and even when Carra had retired, Rafa is still schooling him
After seeing Rafa Benitez on Monday Night Football there’s absolutely no doubt in my mind that Arsenal should have gone for him as their manager. Seeing how meticulous to detail Rafa is when he was showing his tactical prowess, I have to say I was seriously impressed. Rafa is indeed a very underrated manager.
They should now.. Arsenal need a tactical coach who focuses on defensive side of the game. With the attacking players we have, we will score goals. With the defensive players we have, can we stop conceding goals?
Think this is the perfect time to grab someone like Rafa, such humility and knowledge of the game. I fear for arsenal and their future
Rafa on Gerrard "i think he likes football" 😂😂😂
Great video though
😂😂
I’m a United fan but I have a lot of respect for Rafa. Great manager.
Always love Rafa. Great fella and still supportive of liverpool and the families of the 96. Ynwa Rafa
Rafa is a proper football 'coach' should have him on more
speakIng absolute facts.. especially towards the end.. managers like Nuno for Wolves deserve so much more credit because the little resources they have and the amount they get out of their players is honestly incredible
aight his hand for Messi was a little bit higher. The debate is settled.
Rafa is such an interesting guy
If u r into thick fat spanish waiters eho think they are much better than they are.
Stanley13 I don’t think you’ve won multiple trophies at the top level of football so therefore I think you have no roughy to comment like that
@Michael Brentford 3 major trophies in 25 years at the biggest clubs in europe...never once built a successful squad.
@@jasp0828 no idea what a roughy is....so no one can comment on football unless they have won trophies???.... get shearer off motd!!"
@Michael Brentford i see 3
He’s very eloquent, I guess I never got that from his press conferences
Amazing Rafa...Just love his in depth analysis
So great to hear such an experienced coach unfiltered. Well done Sky!
Rafa is among best coach in eroupean football respect for great achievement you have make in football
nah unai emery better than benitez
Tell that to inter and napoli and madrid and liverpool fans
A real manager, period.
Rafa is a great manager, love to listen to him.
An absolute Legend of a man
it is such a pleasure to listen to a master like rafa benitez
Rafa ⚫️⚪️ club legend always a Geordie in heart ❤️
Love Rafa as much as Jurgen
Both brilliant guys
Chelsea fan here but can listen to Rafa talking football all day.
Will always Love this MAN !!!
Managing Newcastle or liverpool different style of management is required and for him to be so successful at most clubs shows how tactically aware he is brilliant manager adapting to each team is more tricky than given credit for many managers fail
One of the most underrated. Managed to compete with teams that should not have been competitive. Did an amazing job with Newcastle - they should have given him whatever he wanted. Always good to hear managers who have had to struggle with the not so big teams, as opposed to Pep, Jose and co who have always worked with wealthy teams, rich teams of both. Can you imagine any of them dealing with the championship? No chance.
What a great guy, always very smart in his answers, garry Neville to criticise him is a joke, look at the time both spent at Valencia, 2 league titles and a European championship for Rafa, near relegation and sacked for Neville, still he has the class to not criticise anyone and talks about himself. Just pure class of a man. That's why the supporters always love him, no matter what anyone says about him he stays classy and sticks to facts. The love I have for Benitez after he left liverpool is still huge, even after Chelsea. He gave all the money that the owners paid from his contract to the Hillsborough familys, didn't say anything. Just true class.
when Rafa speaks Everybody listens
So Fascinating
Total bullshit mostly
underrated manager, has matched jose in every way with even less money but because hes not narcissistic and doesn't call himself the special one hes not as hyped, people need to put respect on hes name, he won la liga TWICE with Valencia, competing against the galacticos and barca, we see every year madrid and barca dominate, occasionally another side snaps that dominance like atleti, but rafa managed it TWICE, won the champions league with traore and biscan.
This guy is just low-key great. Top top top manager
Love listening to Rafa
I have a new found respect for Rafa after watching and listening to him here
Love Rafa man what a legend
I want to see Rafa handling AC Milan soon.Forza Milan!!
Shocked looks by inter Milan fans
Yes rafa followed arrigo sacchi work a lot. Rafa would get ac milan back up again
I miss this guy. Need him in the premier league. He is too smart to not be in a major league around the world. Come back please!
I loved when he brought back Robbie Fowler to the Liverpool team.... I remember the excitement 💪
pls release the full episode, i recall him having a segment on crossing but it's on none of these uploads
Love his coaching philosophy fantastic teach people to understand why. And don't just tell to do
I forgot how much I love this man
His knowledge on tactics the football world is fascinating. Could watch him talk about it for hours. Would be amazing if sky could do podcast with managers and ex players
I love this man.
OUTSTANDING
I have a new found respect for Rafa after watching him here
*Compact, Minoote, **-Tactics-** Tic-tacs, FACT!*
Old Traffor
Bidich
Great Manayer
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha this is one of the best comments I’ve ever seen
In case anyone forgot, Liverpool was playing against Dida, Cafu, Stam, Nesta, Maldini, Pirlo, Gattuso, Seedorf, Kaka, Shevchenko, Crespo. World class players in every position
This is why he is idolized at Liverpool. Legend. Takes a decent team and improves them every time. Thanx Rafa for Number 5!
great session yes these are master class. Sky sports should be doing this with other managers.
love Rafa!
I could listen to rafa all day... demi god
Surely will go down as one of the best just for winning that Champions league with Kewell and Traore in his side... oh and not forgetting the AC Milan super side
Interesting stuff from Rafa.Obviously a man that loves football.
could listen to this man all day!
Exactly.
In Rafa we trust. 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you Rafa, and we still dream of carraghers
As a United fan, I can humbly say: Rafa Benitez managing your team is always a good thing. Truly great manager.
Respect
Always hated Ferguson....one the best ever if not the best.
I can listen Rafa all day...
2 Liverpool legends ❤️
I'm a Spurs fan and have often found the brand of football that Rafa's teams play to be turgid. However, he's so interesting to listen to and I could imagine players wanting to play for him.
Look forward to seeing what he can do with our players now he has arrived and appointed manager of Everton. He walks the walk and talks the talk. Our boys better listen.
Love Rafa talking about the game
Thanks for everything, Rafa.
🔥YNWA🔥.
Jesus, I’m addicted to listening Rafa
Rafa - LFC legend
This man is truly special. Can't believe he's toiling away in the Chinese league now.
Great insight, I bet youngsters could learn a lot form someone like rafa
He came to Liverpool at such a turbulent time, with Hicks and Gillette and their leveraged buyout crippling the club with debt we could not afford. He would have won us the league if he had been backed consistently. We missed out on David Villa, Dani Alves and other great players for not being willing to pay the asking price (which wasn't that high). He always conducted himself with dignity and fought for what he believed was right. I love Klopp now, but back then I loved Rafa even more.
One of the greatest manegers of all time
rafa the legend
Different league of analysis from Rafa. One of the most underrated managers we’ve had in the PL.
RAFA BENITEZ !!!!!!
Love Rafa
Rafa is a legend simple...😃👍
Could listen to him talk for days so wise so smart a pure genius off the game
I love what he said about if the margins for winning trophies is so small that doesn't mean you're not a good manager. People say Spurs aren't a big club cause they don't winning anything smh
