Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez was very careful when preparing for the clash with Manchester United that lunchtime, as he hoped to disrupt the pendulum of the title race. Benitez didn’t have it his way as an injury to Alvaro Arbeloa during the warm-up forced a personnel change and a positional change too. The experienced Sami Hyypia came in at centre-half, while club legend Jamie Carragher moved to the right back of defence.

Andrea Dossena remembers his best days of football. The former player was a regular at the full-back position at Napoli, Palermo, and Liverpool. He is reliving his memories of this emerging health crisis. He is waiting to see his elderly father again to watch a football match either on the ground or in a bar and enjoy it like they used to do before. He had a lot of fun when he was associated with football. He still remembers his training days at Crema where he started for three months. He hopes that they can recover, but it is tough especially when it comes to Serie D. This is because the presidents have become firm and they have blocked many companies and this crisis has made the situation suffocating for them.

Former Liverpool defender Andreas Dossena says Carlo Ancelotti made a mistake choosing to rush back into football management after being sacked by Napoli.
