Shots fired. Shots ignored.
Rafa Benitez is above all that.
Jose Mourinho might’ve let himself get drawn into a pointless feud with the Spaniard’s wife and come out of it looking crass with a personal attack on his opposing manager, but not Rafa.
Real Madrid’s new boss ignored Mourinho’s diet jibes today when pressed and he brushed off the apparent personal rivalry between the pair talking only about football.
Even in reference to the Chelsea manager’s suggestion that Benitez had destroyed the team that Jose left behind, Rafa wasn’t drawn.
It’s not his way.
“We are here to prepare for the Milan game and a tour which so far, has been going well,” he dismissed.
“I’d like to talk about the present day game and that means Real Madrid or the future of Madrid.”
Looks like Mourinho will have to find someone else to squabble with.
