"We have to recover quickly" - Chelsea vs Leeds | Rafa Benitez Interview | Premier League
- 10 years ago
Chelsea interim boss Rafa Benitez says he will shake hands with Leeds manager Neil Warnock before Wednesday's League Cup quarter-final at Elland Road.
Warnock has suggested he may refuse the pre-match gesture following a dispute between the two dating back to 2007.
Then Sheffield United boss Warnock felt Benitez's selection of a weakened Liverpool side at Fulham contributed to the Blades' relegation.
"I'm professional so I won't have any problem [shaking hands]," said Benitez.
"There will be a lot of people watching us, so we have to behave."
In the aftermath of Liverpool's 1-0 defeat at Fulham, who were involved in a relegation battle with Sheffield United, on the penultimate day of the 2006-07 season, Warnock said he would "never forgive" Benitez, whose legal team later sent an email warning of possible action through the courts were he to be mentioned again.
