No more lies, Rafa Benitez's betrayal of Liverpool revealed

As Liverpool is one of the most successful institutions in England, it is normal to see that outside the institution there are hundreds of critics who want to make them look bad in the eyes of others, but even people who were part of the club have been able to be against the Reds, being the coach Rafa Benitez one of them, because besides having been taken as betrayal the fact of having taken the technical direction of Everton, this tactician had a great possibility of having harmed the group led by Jürgen Klopp.

In the last few hours Dave Ockop's website has revealed information about Benitez and his past with Everton, reporting that the Spanish tactician at some point had the opportunity to be the one to sign striker Luis Diaz instead of Liverpool, being at that time a risky bet by both teams that today would have been detrimental to the Reds for all that the Colombian has been able to contribute during his time at Anfield.

The reason the Reds were not poached by the Tofees and Rafa Benitez was for the simple and sole reason that the Spanish manager was not entirely convinced by the signing, passing up the opportunity to acquire the then Porto man in order to make other plans that subsequently led to an unwelcome departure from Everton.

It is true that Benitez was one of Liverpool's most loved and respected managers years ago, but even as an icon of the club's modern era, the tactician could not shirk his professionalism and commitment to the Reds' biggest rivals, trying to do his best work at an Everton side that took a long time to rediscover its level in the league, being diminished again today by certain administrative offences that were punished with financial sanctions and sporting points in the current campaign.

Luis Diaz is part of a story of betrayal and hatred  

While Reds fans are still unforgiving of Benítez's betrayal after his move to Everton, the club can at least be grateful that their former manager did not insist on signing Luis Diaz, who has been accepted and embraced by the entire institution since his arrival, becoming an indispensable reference point that Jürgen Klopp needs every game.
