Wolves 0 Liverpool 0
LIVERPOOL boss Rafael Benitez is remaining tight-lipped over reports linking him with a move to Italian giants Juventus.
Following the goalless draw at Wolves, Benitez refused to comment on speculation suggesting Juve are about to sack coach Ciro Ferrara.
The Spaniard saw his side miss out on the chance to put pressure on the Premier League top four after a shotshy performance in which they failed seriously to test Wolves keeper Marcus Hahnemann.
Benitez, when asked about the Juventus link, said: ‘‘I prefer to talk about the game.
Is the speculation a distraction?
I was really focused today on trying to do the right things and to try and win this game.
‘‘Is being linked with Juventus flattering? I prefer to concentrate on the game.’’ Benitez accepted a share of the spoils was a fair result, with his side dominating the opening 45 minutes before Wolves came more into the game after the break.
He said: ‘‘If you analyse the game, it was a fair result. In the first half, we were in control, although we didn’t create chances. The final pass just wasn’t there.”
