Benitez unhappy about Israel trip
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has angrily spoken out against the prospect of his side being forced to travel to Israel for a Champions League match next month.
Liverpool have been drawn against Maccabi Haifa in the third qualifying round, and face a second leg in Israel on August 22 or 23. Benitez is appalled at the prospect of the club's staff, players and fans travelling for a game in Israel at a time when that country could still be involved in military action in Lebanon.
Benitez said: "It's a crazy situation and totally unacceptable to even think about us going over there at this time. A few years back, when I was with Valencia, we were drawn to play Maccabi Haifa in a UEFA Cup tie and the match was switched to Cyprus. The situation then was nowhere near as bad as it is now."
