Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez plays down feud with Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho

Liverpool football manager Rafael Benitez played down the talk of a feud between him and Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho based on the fact that they didn't shake hands after the Community Shield match.

"I was focusing on my team and my supporters and maybe he was thinking about his team and his supporters," said Rafael Benitez after the Reds' 2-1 win.
"For me, it is not a problem. I am not thinking about this."
Jose Mourinho said: "Football is 90 minutes. If we shake hands, if we kiss, do you think that is important?"

And the two football team managers did not shake hands after last season's FA Cup semi-final either, which Liverpool also won.

"He decided not to shake hands in the last game and this time he was behind me and he did not say anything,"

added Rafael Benitez.


However, Jose Mourinho stated after watching the Reds win the Community Shield:

"I was on the pitch from the last whistle until the moment Liverpool received the cup. I was there the whole time."
