Benitez said: “I know there is criticism but if we win it is fantastic, if we lose the criticism continues.
“There are a lot of ex-Liverpool players in the media – but I will explain to you how I work.
“I prepare for a game with 4 or 5 DVDs of matches.
“I watch them without volume so I don’t hear anything. And afterwards when I watch our games from TV I fast forward them to see the things I want and I don’t use the volume – so I have no problem with what people say.
“You could have 20 commentators speaking and it wouldn’t matter because I never listen to what they say.
“I only keep the clips that I think will be the most important for the players at team meetings.
“I don’t like the players hearing anything either. I prefer them to focus on what they are watching and not listening to a commentator because everyone has an opinion in football.
“The only ones that matter here are mine, my staff and my players.”
