Rafa Benitez: Torres And Keane Will Live Up To Hype

Rafa BenitezRafa Benitez made a press conference ahead of the first-leg of the crucial Champions League group stage qualifier against Standard Liege , Benitez said it will be only a matter of time before they start raining goals, so convinced is he of their ability both as individuals and as a unit.
"Keane and Torres are clever players, they scored plenty of goals last season and when they have played a lot more games together for us, they will score here too," said Rafa Benitez.
"These two strikers are top class, and they can be at the level of anyone in this competition. They will get better and better."They will need time. It has been a difficult summer with players arriving for training at different stages, but I have no worries about them in the future."
Benitez then turned his attention to the challenge at hand, warning that they will have their work cut out for them even though the Merseyside club are undoubtedly the hot favourites to triumph over two legs."Liege are in good form, they beat Anderlecht last weekend in the Belgian super cup, and last season in their league they barely lost a game and went over 30 without defeat at one stage," he said.
"They did not concede many goals, they have a strong defence and a quick attack. We must concentrate."
