Rafa in tactics woe

Benitez took over from Jose Mourinho in the summer and is gearing up for his first Serie A match against Bologna tonight.

The transition is proving complicated,” admitted the former Valencia coach.

“I don’t want to make a revolution, we’re at the beginning of our work and those who played a lot last year have only just returned from the World Cup.

“We need to try to continue to do what we do well and learn gradually. We know that we have to work on physical and technical aspects to improve.

“But we know that right now it’s not the system that will make the difference, you win with your attitude, with character.”
