LIVERPOOL boss Rafael Benitez remains hopeful of guiding the Reds to their first ever Premier League title, but insists that league glory is a taller order than it was when he won in Spain with Valencia.
Despite a Champions League and FA Cup triumph - and indeed a generally admirable record in cups, European in particular - Rafa Benitez has been unable to drastically change Liverpool's league fortunes in his four years at Anfield.
Liverpool hold the record for most league titles with 18, but Manchester United have come to within one title of them, having won 10 of the 16 Premier League's since its inception, with Liverpool not having won competition as of yet.
"Yes, clearly it's more difficult [to win the league] here than in Spain
because the top sides spend big, big money," said Benitez.
"We will try to do our best and the key for me is to not talk about the
title. The key is to be near the top, to be contenders. If we stay close then
I think we are capable of doing it.”
